[ he shakes his head. ]

I mean, like those superheroes are supposed to be. He cares about people.

[unkindled_madness]

I know you mean that.

But, you are the one who cares about me.

[dothelokimotion]

[ his expression softens. ]

I do.

[unkindled_madness]

...I suppose my assessment would hardly be unbiased either.

[dothelokimotion]

[ his lips twitch into a smile. ]

Well, if we're both biased, I think we can live with it.

[unkindled_madness]

Yes, it should balance out.

[dothelokimotion]

Perfectly, I think.

[unkindled_madness]

For now, anyway.

[dothelokimotion]

Ah . . . yes. Of course.

[ had he overstepped? probably. still, it's fine. ]

[unkindled_madness]

I mean, I intend to sway your opinion.

[dothelokimotion]

[ oh. that's very sweet, actually. loki smiles at him. ]

I look forward to it.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth's expression softens.]

As do I.

[dothelokimotion]

Mm.

[ he nearly says thank you again but instead he reaches for sephiroth's hand to squeeze it gently. ]

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth closes his fingers around Loki's hand, just for a moment.]

...are you always so affectionate with your friends?

[dothelokimotion]

No. Just you.

[unkindled_madness]

[He blinks, not sure what to make of that.]

Oh...

[dothelokimotion]

I've never held hands with my friends. If you can call them that.

[unkindled_madness]

Have you wanted to?

[dothelokimotion]

Not with people who are just friends. But people who are more.

[unkindled_madness]

[Like best friends, obviously! But Sephiroth frowns faintly in confusion.]

But, from your perspective, we've not known each other very long.

[dothelokimotion]

It's not about knowing.

It's about believing. I believe in you.

[unkindled_madness]

...I don't really understand that. But I suppose that's all right.

[dothelokimotion]

Are you sure?

Even though I don't remember, you believe in me, don't you?

[unkindled_madness]

But I know you. My faith is based on experience.

[It's completely rational.]

[dothelokimotion]

And so is mine. Even if it seems limited.
