Some kind of fattening food that mortals eat, I imagine.

[ "kevin" + bacon = something weird earth people do. ]

Also why ask me? You know mortals better than me.

[heynowyouguysarekaputt]

Yes, but the husband of the daughter of the Titan is halfMidgardian, halfCelestial. Ah, so Kevin Bacon is Midgardian, then, not Celestial.

I think I'll try it one day. Gamora's husband says it's the best thing on Terra and only reason he wishes he never had the Celestial for a father. I think.

[Grins]

[dothelokimotion]

It sound Midgardian. Who else would have such ridiculous names? Stark and Bacon no less. It's as if they want to lower themselves.

[heynowyouguysarekaputt]

Hm. I wonder. Maybe they don't know how it sounds?

[dothelokimotion]

It would not surprise me if they have no self-awareness whatsoever.

[ no loki, that's you. ]

[heynowyouguysarekaputt]

Who knows? You used to think I have no self-awareness. I like to think I've changed a little, at least. Life's about change, after all.

At least, I appreciate your tricks more now, you should know that.

[dothelokimotion]

[ his lip curls slightly. ]

Not a moment too soon, I suppose.

[heynowyouguysarekaputt]

[Thor looks down, sobering.]

I know I've made too many mistakes. Please, forgive me.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki sighs. ]

Thor, enough of that. You know I do not hold it against you.

[heynowyouguysarekaputt]

That's not whay you've said when you so rudely tried to provoke me into actually fighting you, on the Bridge. Just seven years ago, and you speak as if a century has passed, for you to hold nothing against me anymore.

[Thor shakes his head.]

I don't understand you, Brother. But I, I'm glad to have you. Don't ever doubt that. I don't know much about forgiveness, to be honest. But - thank you.

[He grins now, and grabs Loki's shoulder, giving it a solid shake, possibly dizzying shake.]

I'm glad.

[dothelokimotion]

[ it feels like a century. and though loki tends to shore up on grudges, he didn't want his entire life to be devoted to this cycle. he's seen what it did to hela. why would he resign himself to the same fate? ]

You're still so sentimental, Thor.

[heynowyouguysarekaputt]

"And you, so repetitive," Thor jokes. "That's what you've said in New York. Or something like that, I don't know exactly. Surely you don't think I don't remember."

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki pinches thor's shoulder. ]

Your memory does tend to fail you, brother.

[heynowyouguysarekaputt]

[Thor ponders for maybe half a second]

But you've said I'm too sentimental. In New York, when I tried to appeal to reason. Haven't you?

Hmm.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki snorts. ]

Reason had little to do with why I was there.

[heynowyouguysarekaputt]

[Thor nods, not sure if he fully comprehends those events, even now. He does from his own perspective - baffling one - but as for Loki's, he can barely imagine.]

And so, you've destroyed your millenial track record of being the reasonable brother. I guess now we're equal.

[dothelokimotion]

[ his lips quirk. ]

So it seems. I suppose I cannot complain.

[heynowyouguysarekaputt]

Neither can I. For a thousand years, I had to put up with a younger brother more clever and more talented than I could ever hope to be.

Ah. I guess I was unreasonable about that, sometimes. But only a little!

[Thor chuckles.]

[dothelokimotion]

I don't see why you would complain. Asgard certainly did not care for my cleverness or talents. Only your brute strength.

[heynowyouguysarekaputt]

I definitely cared.

[He shrugs.] Asgard is Asgard.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he snorts. ]

Well, you had an odd way of showing it.

[heynowyouguysarekaputt]

You think so?

[dothelokimotion]

[ he blinks, squinting at thor. ]

Do you not remember?

[heynowyouguysarekaputt]

Do you mean some harmless jests? Right, you're sensitive.

[Thor nods.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki bristles. ]

Ah, yes, nothing says harmless than you and all your friends picking on me. What an enjoyable time that was.
