Yes, well. He's also an idiot. There's only so much I can do.

[unkindled_madness]

Fair enough.

Some things are a lost cause.

[dothelokimotion]

He is certainly one of those.

[unkindled_madness]

Do you imagine he'll be of any help in escaping this place?

[dothelokimotion]

What Thor may lack in wits, he makes up for in raw power. You won't find anyone stronger.

[unkindled_madness]

We'll see.

[dothelokimotion]

At the very least, he's exceptional in a fight.

[unkindled_madness]

He was very good at punching things, yes.

[dothelokimotion]

Wait till you see him summon thunder.

Or drown us when he's in a mood.

[unkindled_madness]

"Us"?

I thought he lost his powers. Something about a hammer.

[dothelokimotion]

He hasn't lost anything. That hammer was a nuisance, nothing more.

[unkindled_madness]

A nuisance?

[dothelokimotion]

It was an enchanted hammer. It had very specific criteria set by our father.

[unkindled_madness]

Did it instead restrict his powers?

[dothelokimotion]

It forced him to channel it through his hammer.

[unkindled_madness]

How did he overcome that?

[dothelokimotion]

I don't know. It seemed to come to him when the time was right.

[ things always came easily to thor. ]

[unkindled_madness]

Luck.

That's not very helpful.

[dothelokimotion]

If he remembered, he could tell you. But unfortunately, I do not know.

[unkindled_madness]

And your father never did the same for your powers?

[dothelokimotion]

My father didn't care all that much about my power. Or about me for that matter.

[unkindled_madness]

Given how he expressed his care

perhaps that's for the best.

[dothelokimotion]

Perhaps.

But not the easiest thing to reconcile emotionally.

[unkindled_madness]

If he's gone, then what difference does it make?

[dothelokimotion]

Closure always makes a difference.

Surely there are questions within you that you wish to reconcile, regardless of circumstance?
