[It isn't clear where Shuri is except that she's focused on the screen and whatever it is that's behind it. When she speaks her voice is measured though a little distracted.]

I'm glad to see the illness from last month has been cured. It appears as if I had fallen into a coma for the last few days, for those who I was speaking too and working with, I'm sorry. [She's a little annoyed about that but moving forward.]

Anyway, after all this I decided what I'd like to focus my time on. I'm getting together materials so if anyone has anything I can use or a reliable vendor please let me know. I'm also doing freelance to help fund my work as well as small explorations outside of the city to find new materials.

Thank you.

[She pauses and before hanging up adds.]

Loki. I need to speak to you about what we had talked about earlier last month.

[Shuri finally looks at the screen and flashes a smile.]

Thanks.

[The screen darkens.]

Magic is a tool, not a parlor trick. I use it when I need to or when it suits me best. Otherwise I do not abuse it whenever I can.

[ He can walk. Fight. Do plenty without magic. Only those who are not confident in their use of their skills use it constantly as compensation. Magic is the one area Loki feels secure in. ]

[Shuri feels her respect for Loki grow a bit as she head out towards the street. It isn't a trick and neither technology or magic should be used like careless toys.]

That's good.

[She smiles.]

Is there anything that you can't do that you've always wanted to be able to do?

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki pauses. ]

Yes.

[ Be worthy of Mjolnir. Of his father. To be regarded as a peer of Asgard, an equal. A true prince. To not be found wanting. ]

But none of those are feasible.

[Shuri shakes her head.] The moment you start thinking that, is the moment when you'll never reach those goals. [She doesn't think that anything is impossible and it's why she's been able to do so much. She pauses in her steps, her dark eyes looking around the area curiously.] It should be around here. [Except she doesn't see the shop that'd been described to her.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki snorts lightly. ]

The goals are not attainable because I lack willpower. Only that the moment has passed when I had the chance to fulfill them.

[whatarethose]

[Shuri pauses, forgetting the store for a moment.] Willpower is something you can control. Why not work on getting more?

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki sighs. ]

I just said willpower was not my issue.
