...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?

[dothelokimotion]

Maybe I just like the word. Sway.

[unkindled_madness]

...are you feeling all right?

[Maybe he needs to rest?]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki huffs. ]

I'm fine, really.

[unkindled_madness]

[Hm.]

Could I persuade you to rest?

[dothelokimotion]

[ he sighs. ]

I suppose I should. It won't heal faster, the way I'm treating myself.

[unkindled_madness]

I would like for you to heal.

[dothelokimotion]

[ his expression softens. ]

I'll go back to my apartment. That should help.

[unkindled_madness]

[He nods.]

All right then.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki hesitates, tentative but with some confidence. ]

I will see you later. Soon.

[unkindled_madness]

[A faint smile.]

Yes. Soon.

[dothelokimotion]

[ his smile unfurls, bright and wondrous. ]
