I dunno about that, wasn't so bad when everyone was dust.

[Hey this is bad again he wants off this ride.]

[dothelokimotion]

I rather have the chance to speak than to know I missed it fully. Like I had with my mother.

[spellslots]

[Oh, fuck. His expression immediately softens.]

I get that. And, fuck, I'm sorry. I know it doesn't mean shit, but I'm sorry.

[dothelokimotion]

[ He shakes his head. ]

I never told her. I could not go to her funeral. I'll never enter the halls of Valhalla where she rests.

[ Loki lets out a sharp bark of laughter, drenched in bitterness. ]

There were tears in her eyes. I see them so clearly. And I think to myself, I put that there. No one else could have done that but me.

Hey, c'mon, you can't-- Don't beat yourself up for that shit.

[Taako had no relationship with his parents, and while he loved his aunt for the brief stint they stayed with her, it was still brief. He doesn't really know what it's like to be someone's child.]

I bet she knew you loved her. Pretty sure that's how parents work, right?

[dothelokimotion]

Perhaps. I suppose we will never fully know.

[ Loki's trust in his parents has all but shattered on the rocks. ]

[spellslots]

The world's a real fucking weird place, maybe you will.

[It's not optimism, just... of all the things Taako has seen, this doesn't seem impossible.]

[dothelokimotion]

I don't think my world is quite that special.

[spellslots]

You're a fucking alien god from a world with superheroes, my dude.

[That's... pretty impressive.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ . . . Well, he's not wrong. ]

I suppose anything is possible.
