[ he hums softly, his interest somewhat piqued. ]

What did you imagine it to be?

[thecoolerloki]

I imagined that Ikol would kill me. Literally stab me in the back. I thought it would be painful, physically. I was afraid of that, I suppose.

[Technically speaking, this body of his has never been hurt. Thor's always protected him. He remembers Odin and Laufey's form of discipline still, but Thor had stopped the former once he was reborn, and the latter was dead and would never touch him again.]

[dothelokimotion]

I suppose that's not unrealistic.

[ it's what they specialize in, after all. ]

I was stabbed through the chest once. It was certainly a painful experience at the time. I had almost forgotten it.

[thecoolerloki]

[His eyes remain focused on the ceiling.]

Are you mad at me? Loki is mad at me.

[dothelokimotion]

He has reason to be.

[ and loki might have felt the same way, if it was his stuff being passed around. stories spinning out, in the hands of people who would feel differently. it's a claustrophobic feeling. ]

But no, I am not angry with you.

[thecoolerloki]

What, then?

[Or rather, why are you here?]

[dothelokimotion]

[ he clears his throat, a bit pointedly, his gaze skittering. ]

I was concerned. And . . . I felt a bit responsible for what I told. About narratives.

[thecoolerloki]

I would've done it regardless, for what it's worth. I'd been plotting to kill him since the first day I arrived here.

[dothelokimotion]

And now?

[thecoolerloki]

Now, I am tired.

[dothelokimotion]

[ his lips twitch slightly. ]

Don't take over my spot as the depressed Loki though.

[thecoolerloki]

I won't. I have too many plans to remain depressed for long. After all, the story has not ended. It shall be continued, as I wish.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he wonders if they'll involve less murder but eh. a little murder can go a long way, sometimes. ]

That is how it should be.

[thecoolerloki]

The other one I wrote was awful anyways. Although I'd argue that had more to do with my editor than me.

[Not really. The demon might have guided him, but all the ideas were his own.]

[dothelokimotion]

Hmm. I'm not sure it's an argument you'd win.

[ he rises to his feet. things are not badly off and any more time spent may have them into . . . sentimental territory. which he's not up to.

still. he pauses. tries again. ]

I'm glad you live. In your own form, in your own fashion.

[thecoolerloki]

I am dead, Loki.

[Yet he wears an odd smile all the same.]

"To die will be an awfully big adventure." I will make sure of it.

[dothelokimotion]

Adventure, is it?

[ he huffs lightly. ]

Perhaps that is true.

[thecoolerloki]

A Scottish author wrote that into the head of a boy who could never grow up. I spent some time with those born from British folklore, manipulated wars between tradition and innovation.

Stories within stories. You and I are the same.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he wonders about that. he feels more of a footnote these days. a little bit of chaos in between the lines. he manages a small smile. ]

That doesn't sound so terrible.
