And Asgard?

[dothelokimotion]

Ah, I thought you meant Asgard.

[ Loki rarely thinks of Jotunheim. Not that his response was wrong. He did try to wipe them out. ]

Either way, both will kill me.

[hevenly]

Then, where will you make your home?

[ Not "where will you live?" One can simply live anywhere. What's important, when one lives as long as they do, is finding where one will call home. ]

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki winces. He crosses his arms to avoid fidgeting. ]

I suppose I will make do with having none.

[hevenly]

That is no way to live.

[dothelokimotion]

I live out of sheer spite. What else is there for me?

[hevenly]

Happiness? Love?

[dothelokimotion]

[ If it was anyone else, Loki would openly scoff. But he knew Angela truly believed. Loki will not mock her for it. ]

That is best served to heroes and warriors. I know my story. I may slip through the cracks of a writer's forgetfulness but such things will escape my grasp like sand.

It is not for me.

[hevenly]

[ Angela pouts and crosses her arms. She does not sigh, but it is a near thing. ]

You are a dreadfully pessimistic person.

[dothelokimotion]

It is my nature.

[ A beat. ]

I am sorry.

[hevenly]

You have only yourself to apologize to. I am not the one you are depriving of an opportunity to love.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki flinches, stepping back. ]

It will never come. I cannot hope for what will not come.

[hevenly]

If it will not come to you, you must take it for yourself.

[dothelokimotion]

I tried. I have nothing left to show for it.

[hevenly]

You have an incredible wealth of strength, intelligence, and power. You simply do not see it.

[dothelokimotion]

How can I?
