Why do you make allowances?

[ For him, really. ]

[suckstobestrange]

Why not? You haven't given me any real reason not to.

[dothelokimotion]

Reasons aren't usually necessary.

[suckstobestrange]

I thought we established I'm not the usual sort.

[dothelokimotion]

It just — [ Loki visibly struggles. ] — it does not seem right.

[suckstobestrange]

How come? [He's got some guesses, but this is a bit more delicate a conversation than their usual, so he'd rather ask than assume.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki snaps. ]

Because it isn't. It is not how this works.

[suckstobestrange]

Well, just because it's always been that way doesn't mean it has to stay that way.

[dothelokimotion]

Doesn't it?

[suckstobestrange]

If it did, I'd still be a ego-driven, self-absorbed hypocritical asshole with a god-complex. Instead I'm an ego-driven asshole with a whole host of exciting new emotional damage.

[...shit fuck this elevator why was this a thing.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ . . . Well then. ]

It's not the same.

[suckstobestrange]

Never said it was. Just means I'm not one to go along with the way things are just because that's how they've always been.

[dothelokimotion]

Is it not easier though?

[suckstobestrange]

Oh sure. Fuck that though, I'm fairly certain that at least a good part of my aversion to doing things the easy way is just stubborn spite at this point.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki huffs. ]

The world would be poorer without you, Stephen Strange.

[suckstobestrange]

You'd be surprised how many people would argue that.

[No he wouldn't Stephen, you're a spiteful asshole who is likely only still breathing because fuck giving anyone the pleasure of his dying.]

[dothelokimotion]

What do I care of other people? Clearly my opinion matters more.

[suckstobestrange]

You won't hear me argue. I'm usually in favor of my own continued existence so their opinions are all bullshit anyways.

[dothelokimotion]

I suppose that is a certain kind of wisdom.

[suckstobestrange]

Sounds slightly less spiteful than 'fuck them, I do what I want', anyways.

[dothelokimotion]

Only a bit.

[suckstobestrange]

It's the little things sometimes.

[dothelokimotion]

It does not seem so little to me.
