You came for them.

[ And Loki has never forgiven Thor for that. His feelings for Earth. They came first and Loki despised that. He always will.

Deep down, Loki knows it's not rational. Holding Thor to a standard beyond all others. Thor is no stronger than the All-Father, no kinder than the Queen. Thor has his failing and Loki knows them all, meticulously mapped under his fingernails. No one knows Thor like Loki and that had been his beacon, his pride.

What good is it now? ]

Enough. We'll go in circles this way.

[drapes]

And who's the one not listening now?

[ he said he came for you, you butthole, you're the one deciding otherwise. and yes, they will go in circles this way, and thor's much more willing to, given his stubborn, bull-headedness that's only mildly softened in all his soul-searching, never completely going away.

loki does still know him, even if he'd had more sense knocked into him through humility, shame and pain. ]

Fine. What should we talk about instead? How I should be cutting my hair?

[dothelokimotion]

Is that really what's on your mind right now?

[ Though a part of him is still baffled Thor is taking this time. He had been so sure things would be over. That things are over. And yet . . . here they were. Loki isn't sure how to reconcile that in his heart. The fear is so well-ingrained in him now, the constant sensation of hanging off a bridge and being told no. Everything he does is to escape ever being in that position again.

And yet.

Thor was right. Loki wasn't listening. He didn't want to listen. He didn't want to get his hopes up again. He wants to go home, but he has no belief home wants him. He wants his brother, but can't shake that underlying unease of being pushed back into the background once more, a shade to Thor's greatness. He wants someone, anyone to acknowledge how fucked up the situation with Odin was, but no one would dare.

It is easier to close himself off than let any possibility bloom. He's frightened and Thor's presence brings back that hope and despair mingled in his chest. ]

[drapes]

Clearly not.

[ what's on his mind is all of the issue between him and his brother, what they left back home, what he'd felt when loki died in his arms, the things loki'd said to him. all of the above. how his hair should be styled is the last thing on his mind, but loki said 'enough'.

if the last few years have taught thor anything, its that pushing loki to submit to his demands is the fastest way to have him refuse out of spite alone. ]

We focus at the problem at hand, then. I'm sure you find the limits of a single city no more satisfying than the rest here.

[ maybe he doesn't want to go back to asgard, and at this point, thor's out of the will or energy to try to force him to return to his cell. but the both of them need to get off this planet and done with this war that's eating at the other worlds. that much is the same. ]

[dothelokimotion]

I have been in many cages. I may not want to stay but at the very least there is some measure of safety here.

[ Attacks from DESTINY aside. Granted, those seem to be appearing everywhere. Briefly, Loki ponders the fate of Asgard — but it's not worth it, going back down that road. Best to cut off all ties. ]

[drapes]

I have known you since before you could pronounce my name, and you have been in two cages - a cell, and your crib, neither of which held you well.

[ you are the antithesis of the word, he's meaning to say. also, calm your drama, you'll be fine (and he's a little pissy now at failed communications part 458948560354358). ]

Which also means you're likely our best chance of finding the hidden exits here too.

[dothelokimotion]

[ You missed one, but Loki doesn't like talking about his fall and what came to pass after it. ]

Possibly. But it will take time. It took years for me to manage finding the exits I used before.

[drapes]

[ another new part of loki's life thor knows next to nothing about. he doesn't like thinking about it, though the frustrationb in not having every detail is maddening at the same time. it isn't a conversation for right now, besides. ]

Still better than all the rest of us. We'll need an advantage in this battle, rather than defending a single island.

[dothelokimotion]

Even if I found one, I cannot escort an entire city worth of people through an exit. It will collapse.
