I would have been fine with you, I'm lazy, not stupid!

[dothelokimotion]

You also had no patience whatsoever.

[angelpiratebaby]

It's not my fault it was boring.

[dothelokimotion]

It was always boring. But it was what you needed to rule.

[angelpiratebaby]

Poetry is what I needed to rule?

[dothelokimotion]

Good poetry is what you need to rule. Which is a skill you don't have.

[angelpiratebaby]

Well I do not have your playwriting skills, that is for certain, although I can't say I enjoyed your most recent theatrical debut.

[dothelokimotion]

That's on you. Everyone on Asgard loved it.

[angelpiratebaby]

You were masquerading as Odin, they thought they were pleasing their king.

[dothelokimotion]

Oh please. No one brown-noses during a play and very few of them actually connected Odin to it. I made sure to be discreet.

[angelpiratebaby]

Brother, you were sitting in front of it eating grapes and cheering the performance on. You are in no way as subtle as you think sometimes.

[dothelokimotion]

Perhaps not, but bold of you to think they cared all that much. When has the nobility done the rest of Asgard any favours

The arts was a nice change from the warmongering, certainly.

[angelpiratebaby]

I am going to lose my temper at you and that is not a good idea when you gave me a nice gift.

[dothelokimotion]

I didn't give a gift to earn favours.

[angelpiratebaby]

It didn't occur to me that you would.

[dothelokimotion]

Then I don't see why you're complaining.

At least my play cut down on the stereotypical frost giant beliefs. Which, I might add, you and Odin never bothered to fix.

[angelpiratebaby]

You tried to kill all of the frost giants, Loki.

[dothelokimotion]

You saved them and then ignored them for nearly a decade.

Anyway, why the big fuss over my play? It's not that I did much to your character.

[angelpiratebaby]

I was just saying that it wasn't the great poetry you thought it was.

[dothelokimotion]

Says the man who can't muster up any poetry whatsoever.

[angelpiratebaby]

Fine then I won't write you any poetry.

[dothelokimotion]

See? That's an excellent gift in itself.

[angelpiratebaby]

Please give me an idea of what to get you.

[dothelokimotion]

[ for some reason, this strikes him as sad. they used to be so close. they knew each other's hearts. but perhaps it was that hard. loki's heart is not what it used to be and quite frankly, the less seen the better everyone else is. he doesn't fault thor for it. ]

Shakespeare. He's a Midgardian poet and writer recommended to me. You know them best. Perhaps you can find something for me.

[angelpiratebaby]

Yes, I have been told that he writes similarly to how we speak, more so than modern Midgard.

[ He doesn't add that it was Stark who told him so. And typically while joking about their sometimes archaic (or poetic!) way of speaking. He's relieved to have an idea. ]

I will look into it.
