[Thor makes a sound of uncommitted agreement.]

Do you know how hard it is to reach the pantries when you're the size of a frog? Even with great jumping ability?

[He clears his throat, voice dropping in timbre.]

Fond memories aside, I—I think we did fairly well in .. talking things out. Considering how things are usually considered in our family. [His voice is strangely small, antithetical to his stature.] We are the only family we have left, Brother.

[ for a brief impulsive moment, loki wonders what it would be like to tell thor everything. that they could talk it out. maybe thor could even forgive him for what he did. they could make it work.

but his courage fails him. right now, he still had thor's regard. loki couldn't afford to lose it. not yet. not now. ]

. . . How are your wounds?

Oh! Let me check. [There's the sound of rustling; he investigates the gashes left by Loki's machete.] They look like they're mostly healed. Well worth it. [Amused.] Was it therapeutic for you? To launch a blade at my head?

[ a low chuckle. ]

Maybe a little. Though I don't think I want to do a repeat performance.

Has your hair recovered? I never did find any hair gel in the village. I don't think they have anything like it.

Oh, bug entrails might be good for it if you're desperate. Don't ask me how I know that.

You're not putting bug entrails in my hair. Which is fine, by the way. Im unlike you, still retain my hair.

I can also find a creepy old man to cut your hair off, if you want. He'll give you a super great haircut like mine.

You know, I've grown fond of the shorter style. Truly. [Okay, so there was still a little part that missed his longer locks.] .. Really.

[ wryly. ]

Very convincing, Thor.

.. I'm going to find you a creepy old man to cut your hair, just for that.

Good luck with that, brother. I'm sure there are plenty of those to go around.

It doesn't have to be a creepy old man. It could be anyone, really, so long as they have scissors.

I could singe it off of you with my lightning.

That sounds like an excellent way to — [ lose an eye he nearly says until his brain screeches, catching up to him. ] — get stabbed on a regular basis, Thor.
