[unkindled_madness]

Is your brother dead?

[dothelokimotion]

What? No.

[ . . . though he could be, after thanos, but loki is not thinking about that at all. ]

Where did you hear that?

[unkindled_madness]

He doesn't know what happened to Asgard.

I thought perhaps he didn't survive it.

[dothelokimotion]

[ it's a good long time before loki musters up a response. ]

For some reason, his memories are cut short. But he survived the destruction of Asgard.

I kept the explanation brief for his sake.

[unkindled_madness]

I see.

[Then it isn't necessarily an instance of the Ancient resurrecting the dead.

...it's only now that Sephiroth realizes his question may have been upsetting.]

My apologies for bringing it up.

[dothelokimotion]

[ ah. ]

It's fine. It is good to see Thor, just . . . complicated.

[unkindled_madness]

I suppose not all family gets along?

[dothelokimotion]

It depends on the family. Thor and I were royalty. Gods of the First Star. It comes with a certain amount of baggage.

But he is still my brother.

[unkindled_madness]

I wouldn't know.

But you do seem very different.

[dothelokimotion]

[ ah. hm. ]

I'm adopted. We're not related by blood.

[unkindled_madness]

I didn't mean in appearance.

[...that, too, though.]

[dothelokimotion]

We balance each other out. It happens when you spend thousands of years together.

[unkindled_madness]

He could use some balancing.

[dothelokimotion]

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?
