I thought you would have had . . . more mixed feelings.

[ Like Loki does. Asgard is his home and its loss feels like another black mark on his skin. How many times had Loki jeered, talking about letting it burn? Never would he have pictured making it a reality. ]

[thisisamazing]

Because of my dad wanting to step down as chief? That does scare me, I'm not much like him and we haven't always seen eye to eye, but... he's still my dad, and Berk is still my home.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki swallows. ]

. . . Yes, of course.

[thisisamazing]

Do you, uh, have mixed feelings about... your home?

[dothelokimotion]

[ His smile is bittersweet. ]

Too many to count.

[thisisamazing]

You could talk about it, with me. If you wanted. It helped a lot, when you listened to me.

[dothelokimotion]

I . . . do not think that is a good idea. And it's gone now, so none of it matters.

[thisisamazing]

Oh. Well, maybe there's someone else to talk to. Just because it's- because it's gone, doesn't mean the feelings go away.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Perhaps. Loki doubts he has that right though. And a lot of the entitlement that used to spur him on has faded. ]

No. But all feelings can be weathered.

[thisisamazing]

I guess, but isn't it better not to have to weather them? It's- I know when I'm upset about something, I just feel worse, bottling it up.

[dothelokimotion]

[ For once, Loki actually considers this. Bottling it up or lashing out has always been his way. Terrible, driving forces that eventually spun out of his control. ]

I . . . don't rightly know.
