You realize that doesn't quite contest my point though.

How do you flirt with Thor? I hope it's not solely about his muscles.

[spellslots]

[Taako flips him the bird.]

Who even needs to flirt when he knows I'm great at kissing?

[that's not an answer

that's just being a shit]

[dothelokimotion]

[ aha!! ]

So you admit it.

[spellslots]

I'm dancing around the topic cause--

[Nope!! Taako covers his mouth with a hand to cut that off.]

You'll never let me forget it and I'm not putting up with that shit today.

[dothelokimotion]

[ His brow furrows. That seems to imply there's something more. ]

Very well. Just this once.

[spellslots]

Thank god, you did not need to know I called him daddy, even if it was a fucking joke.

[oh.

oh no]

[dothelokimotion]

[ Oh.

. . .

That's it?? ]

Well, you are in good company. I did that to him months ago.

[spellslots]

[Give him a second to just drop his head into his hands and sigh.]

Okay, okay, but you think I've got like a thing. That I don't have.

[dothelokimotion]

Most people have things with Thor. It's natural.

[spellslots]

Thor's not my type.

[Surely they both know this.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ A beat. It still sounds odd to Loki, who has never really met anyone who looks at Thor and goes "yeah no". Thor is always better. That's how it is. His silence isn't one of disbelief but he does seem a little lost on the concept. ]

[spellslots]

[He's not quite sure what to make of that silence.]

What? I mean, I wouldn't kick him outta bed, for sure, but you know the kinda dudes I'm into.

[like... loki......... and rin......

dramatic goths.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ He clears his throat, awkward. ]

Yes. It just — It seems hard to believe at times.

[spellslots]

And I'm finding it hard to believe that not one single person you ever met wasn't more into like... [a vague gesture at Loki] all'a this, over the kinda dumb jock.

[no offence thor]

[dothelokimotion]

If that was the case, I don't remember it.

[ He shrugs. ]

But my memories are not the clearest there.

[spellslots]

I still don't get all that, don't know if I ever will. It's never been a competition.

[with him and Lup, he means.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ He exhales quietly. ]

I don't think it was, at first.

[ Thor became vain and greedy. Loki became cruel and resentful. And the divide grew. ]

[spellslots]

Lucky we're not gonna live long enough for shit to change that much, I guess.

[They've got several more centuries to go, but that's nothing compared to Thor and Loki.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ His grin is bitter and lopsided. ]

I think it has more to do with our parenting than anything else.

[spellslots]

Yeah I, uh, I've noticed that's a bit of a theme with shitty siblings. Never thought I'd be grateful to be an orphan.

[But there it is.]

[dothelokimotion]

I suppose I was an orphan for five seconds before being abducted. Adopted. However they wish to call it.

Good times.

[spellslots]

It's letting you get away with sarcasm.

[The elevator, he means.]

[dothelokimotion]

I am known as the Silvertongue. No trumped up elevator is going to beat me.

[spellslots]

So you were lying when you said I was bad at flirting.

[He's not letting this go.]

[dothelokimotion]

Hmmm.

[ Loki's grin was dark and lazy. ]

Was I?
