I apologize. You were very kind to offer.

[dothelokimotion]

I was, wasn't I?

[unkindled_madness]

You seem pleased with yourself.

[dothelokimotion]

Well, it's not a natural impulse for me.

[unkindled_madness]

I think it is with me.

[dothelokimotion]

You're the exception.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth heads towards the kitchen counter to set down his things.]

Is that the way you prefer it?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki hums as he follows sephiroth. ]

Sort of. It's what I'm used to.

[unkindled_madness]

Well, I don't care to be kind to just anyone either. It ought to be earned.

[dothelokimotion]

For a long time, I assumed I wasn't capable. And that's how people knew I wasn't worth the trouble.

[unkindled_madness]

...it turns out you are capable. We both are.

[dothelokimotion]

Yes.

[ he flexes his hand idly, looking at his palm. an illusion. ]

We always were.

[unkindled_madness]

[His bag settled, Sephiroth steps over to slide his fingers into Loki's palm.]

It's not so difficult either, given the right opportunity.

[dothelokimotion]

It felt like it was. It felt like the hardest thing to do.

[ but that brief moment of melancholy slips away as he twines his fingers with sephiroth warmly. ]

But it doesn't matter as long as I'm kind to you.

[unkindled_madness]

And you do that without thinking.

[dothelokimotion]

You deserve it.

[unkindled_madness]

I've earned it. As I said.

[dothelokimotion]

You certainly have.

[unkindled_madness]

It's an achievement I'm quite pleased with.

[dothelokimotion]

As you should be.

[ loki tugs him closer to kiss his nose. ]

[unkindled_madness]

[His smile widens.]

It was very much worth it.

[dothelokimotion]

Good. I would hate for it to be otherwise.

[unkindled_madness]

[He gives Loki a kiss on the lips.]

It never could be.

[dothelokimotion]

That's a relief.

[unkindled_madness]

...do you want to see what I found?
