[ . . . that is sweet. loki squeezes his hand. ]

I'm glad. Truly.

[unkindled_madness]

I may not like to be a spectacle, but... there is quite a bit to be said for the choice involved.

[dothelokimotion]

That's why it always felt so important to me.

The bold acknowledgement of the choice. Of . . . me.

[unkindled_madness]

[Of course he knew it was important to Loki, and he wanted to make Loki happy, but this is really helping it click for him.]

It is... a demonstration of all that. What we have decided is important, not anyone else.

[dothelokimotion]

[ his smile is softer, more earnest. ]

Precisely.

[unkindled_madness]

...I don't mind that at all.

[dothelokimotion]

[ overcome for a moment, loki presses a kiss to his knuckles in reply. he's so grateful. ]

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth leans his head into Loki's for a moment.]

...I am sorry that I made light of it, in the past.

[dothelokimotion]

I never held that against you.

Besides, it's . . . well, it's hardly a puissant goal.

[unkindled_madness]

[He quirks an eyebrow.]

Isn't it?

[dothelokimotion]

It's not something Gods seek out. Marriage is status.

[unkindled_madness]

...what do you mean by that?

[dothelokimotion]

Just that it's used as means to an end.

If Asgard still existed, it would have been the same for Thor and myself.

[unkindled_madness]

...I suppose you are royalty. There were politics at play?

[dothelokimotion]

I was adopted for a political reason. It would have come into play.

[unkindled_madness]

And who do you supposed you would have been married off to?

[dothelokimotion]

Hm. Most likely someone from Jotunheim to help solidify my claim to the throne.

[unkindled_madness]

That would have been uncomfortable for you.

[dothelokimotion]

I don't think my comfort was of great consideration.

[unkindled_madness]

It ought to have been. It's your life.

[dothelokimotion]

[ quietly. ]

It's a life generously given to me. I was meant to die.

[unkindled_madness]

You don't owe anything for that.

[dothelokimotion]

I know that.

But it is the circumstance to my existence.

[unkindled_madness]

It may be how you began it, but this life is yours now.

[dothelokimotion]

Not to worry. I don't intend to allow anyone else to claim it.
