How convenient.

[ikols]

They won't harm your theatre.

[dothelokimotion]

I won't have them making a mess either. Thankfully, I know how to clean up after myself.

Do you have your situation handled?

[ikols]

[ No. ]

Yes, it's fine. I'll take care of it.

[dothelokimotion]

[ hm.

quietly. ]

The truth. Do you?

[ikols]

First you ask if I've been summoning a spell, then you debate whether I know what I'm doing at all. Am I lying or foolish? To be both would certainly make this more dangerous, so which is it?

[dothelokimotion]

[ dryly. ]

I really wouldn't put it past any of us, considering our history. How you wish to respond to it is up to you.

[ikols]

I'm already responding! You aren't incentivising me through a snide guilt-trip, Loki, I'm already working on it!

[ Terribly enough, he's reminded of The Boy by the way his otherself is talking, and missing him makes things somehow harder. ]

[dothelokimotion]

It wasn't an attempt at being snide but a chance to be honest.

But fine. You have it all handled and you can do it all by yourself. No one needs to worry. I look forward to your success and will leave you to it.

[ikols]

Honest? You've become so closed-off since Thor left. He will always leave, you know, over and over, and you should be nicer to yourself even if you'd rather I had gone instead.

[dothelokimotion]

[ there's a sharp intake at thor's name. ]

And you're not? You think your nonchalance would fool me? Who is truly being closed off? Or, for that matter, who would ever notice that about you?

I don't play the games Odin did by wishing one or the other.

[ikols]

I'm not hiding in plain sight.

[dothelokimotion]

And I'm not playing hero. If you don't need help, fine. If you do, it is yours.

But I'm not keen to play games of distraction. As I said, it's up to you.

[ikols]

You are certainly playing at something, Loki. If you were happy, you wouldn't be bothering with my business. Or perhaps you miss me. That's sweet! Stop being so stuffy and spend more time with me, since you would like that.

[dothelokimotion]

[ why is everyone like this. why is always about friendship and weird stuff like that!! ]

I'm not stuffy and I never said that.

[ikols]

Oh, you like me so much.

[dothelokimotion]

Stop.

[ikols]

Why don't you marry me if you like me so much, Loki?

[dothelokimotion]

[ marriage. for a moment, he stops short, thinking of another life. finally, he shakes his head. ]

I already have someone significant to share my life with.

[ikols]

[ u wot.]

Who?

[dothelokimotion]

Sephiroth. He is my . . . significant one.

[ikols]

You're going to marry him? Who is he? [ Sniffs. ] What are his credentials?

[dothelokimotion]

I am not — That part is not up for discussion. He does not grasp marriage or the like. Which is fine.

[ikols]

He doesn't have weddings where he's from, or ... ? Come on, if you're going to date a weirdo you have to put up with my questions about them.

[dothelokimotion]

He probably does, but his life was . . . limiting. He is still learning of himself and what life entails.

As for marriage, we were in that alternate reality. So that dream has ended.
