[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.

[unkindled_madness]

...I suppose I needed more time than you.

[dothelokimotion]

No, I imagine it was the same.

I'm just . . . meeting you halfway.

[unkindled_madness]

I would call this farther than halfway.

[dothelokimotion]

I want to.

Isn't that enough?

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth lets out a breath, smiling wryly.]

I didn't mean that you're falling short.

I didn't expect you to be so receptive, so quickly.

[dothelokimotion]

What can I say? You're persuasive.

[unkindled_madness]

I don't often hear that.

[dothelokimotion]

Then it gladdens me to be one of the first.

[unkindled_madness]

...you realize it makes you seem rather gullible.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki sniffs pointedly. ]

Nonsense. I came to this logically.

[unkindled_madness]

[He laughs quietly.]

Of course.

I clearly have no particular sway over you.

[dothelokimotion]

I wouldn't say that. I'm willing to acknowledge your . . . sway.

[unkindled_madness]

Why do you say it like that?
