Do you not enjoy it?

[dothelokimotion]

I do. I quite enjoy the theatre and story-telling.

[unkindled_madness]

You like dramatic stories best, yes?

[dothelokimotion]

I do. I find them most appealing.

[unkindled_madness]

Are there any other particular qualities you enjoy?

[dothelokimotion]

I suppose I like the idea that with plays and stories, you can change people's minds.

The people of Asgard loved me more when I told them my story.

[unkindled_madness]

Did you play yourself?

[dothelokimotion]

No, of course not. I had another actor play my part. Asgard thought I was dead at the time anyway.

[unkindled_madness]

Was it commemorative?

[dothelokimotion]

Mostly.

But they liked the play.

[unkindled_madness]

It sounds a bit like attending one's own funeral.

[dothelokimotion]

It's fine. It's not like I ever had a funeral before.

[unkindled_madness]

It is typically a one-time event.

[dothelokimotion]

I'm aware.

I don't think they bothered.

[unkindled_madness]

Perhaps you missed it.

[dothelokimotion]

Or they didn't care.

[unkindled_madness]

Surely your mother would have.

[dothelokimotion]

Odin may not have let her.

And the second time . . . she died not long before I was stabbed by the Dark Elves.

[unkindled_madness]

I am sorry.

[dothelokimotion]

It's all right. As I said, I made my story into something worth mourning for.

[unkindled_madness]

I'm quite certain it was already worth it.

[dothelokimotion]

Perhaps.

[ worth is something loki still struggles with. ]

[unkindled_madness]

Not perhaps.

Definitely.

[dothelokimotion]

. . . Would you mourn? If I was gone?

[unkindled_madness]

Of course I would.

[Loki saw how upset he was over just losing the shared memories.]
