[ he nods. ]

That's fine. I'll hide us from view.

[unkindled_madness]

And they're on a winter break anyway.

[dothelokimotion]

Still.

[unkindled_madness]

[He reaches back for Loki's hand.]

It is a good precaution.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki twines his fingers with sephiroth. ]

I just want to ensure everything goes smoothly.

[unkindled_madness]

It's very responsible of you.

[dothelokimotion]

When you say it like that, you make me sound not responsible at all.

[unkindled_madness]

I only meant to contrast you with myself in this instance.

[dothelokimotion]

I have some experience in this after all.

[unkindled_madness]

Did you practice in secret?

[dothelokimotion]

[ he pauses, considering his words carefully. ]

It was not a magic Asgard was familiar with. Even my mother knew little. I simply thought it was wise to practice discreetly so I would not invite ridicule.

[unkindled_madness]

...I think I understand.

It's a very personal thing.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he chuckles. ]

That, and I was often made fun of. I didn't want to add to it.

[unkindled_madness]

They made fun of you?

[dothelokimotion]

Well, I wasn't very Asgardian. I wasn't good with a lot of weapons, I disliked fighting, I never cared for the other activities all that much.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth huffs.]

You had better qualities.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki smiles, squeezing his hand. ]

It was a long time ago.

[unkindled_madness]

That doesn't make me wrong.

[dothelokimotion]

I didn't say you were. Just that there's nothing that can be done about it now.

[ all those people are dead. what would be the point of holding a grudge now? even loki, the prince of grudges, sees the folly of it. ]

[unkindled_madness]

...

Well, they aren't here, so you can insult them all you like to a sympathetic ear.

[dothelokimotion]

[ his lips twitch slightly at that. ]

Tempting.

[unkindled_madness]

It's something I've always enjoyed.

[dothelokimotion]

I'll keep it in mind.

But for now, it can wait. I think we're in a good spot to fly.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth pauses at the edge of the field, looking around.]

Yes, this should do.

[...as if he would know from experience.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki doesn't say otherwise, merely smiling. ]

All right. I'll go first. You can watch how I do it.

[ he sets sephiroth's clothes down before concentrating. his magic tingles as loki gradually changes from himself to a black bird. ]
