[ His visual conception of a frost giant isn't too far removed from what Loki's actually referring to, which means he just raises an eyebrow. ]

You're awfully slender for a frost giant. And--pink.

[dothelokimotion]

Half.

[ Loki doesn't know where the other half comes from. ]

And this is an illusion.

[imperceptus]

Solid work.

[ He cants his head to one side. ]

I take it you mean to say that people don't like to see you coming, either.

[dothelokimotion]

Frost Giants are monsters.

[ His tone is flat, unyielding. ]

They cannot be anything else.

[imperceptus]

So you think you're a monster?

[ He cants his head to one side. ]

Bet that puts a damper on relationships.

[dothelokimotion]

It puts a damper on everything. That is how pervasive it is.

[imperceptus]

My people are often monstrous, that's true. And I'm not exactly a saint.

But we can't choose where we're born or how we're raised.

[dothelokimotion]

No.

[ That much Loki can admit. ]

But I did not know. I was not raised among my people. Asgard made me complicit in their mockery. How can be anything but monstrous now?

[imperceptus]

[ Rin shrugs. ]

By making a choice. You are what you choose to be.

[ That's how he lives his life, anyway. ]

I know I'm not like my family. It doesn't matter what anybody else thinks.

[dothelokimotion]

I made my choices long ago.

[ But Loki can't distance himself from the hate. After centuries, there are some things that just won't end. ]

[imperceptus]

That's obvious.

[dothelokimotion]

Is it now.
