What would you consider to be unforgivable?

Normally, I wouldn't be. It's not in my nature to know satisfaction.

But I hear good people aspire to a complete ending.

I think I'd be more understanding of that if you weren't talking about your eventual murder

(This... feels disturbing now.)

I tend to use a lot of gallows humour.

Yes, I've noticed.

(She's upset, but isn't sure if that's a justified response, so:) Where will you go from here?

I'll stay here, most likely.

Good.

I... would be sad to see you leave.

I would not go without telling you.

I would have to track you down some how if you did!

Thank you, Loki

Is this worth being thanked for?

Honestly? No, because at this point it's the least you can do

But I have good manners

Fair enough.

I don't want to hurt Thor. Or you. Or anyone else.

But I find I do it all the same. It means little.

I'm a big girl, Loki. I can take care of myself.

I think you have to trust the rest of us to have control over what does or does not hurt us.

Trust is not something I do often. Or easily.

Maybe it's time to start practising.

You don't have to become better at it overnight, just... try

[ He really shouldn't. Loki doesn't feel capable. All his changes feel thread-bare, like a coat he's put on, ill fitting and untrue to his nature.

And yet. ]

All right.

(wait, that worked)

... Neat.

. . .

Neat?

Yeah, it

That was easier than I thought it was going to be?

Now I'm curious as to how you expected it to be.

Honestly, I expected you to evade the subject until I gave up.

(He's good at obfuscating.)

It was tempting.

But I am rather tired of that too.

So you're turning over a new leaf?

I'm not capable of such.

Not even a very small leaf?

I suppose I can hold onto hope for a miniature leaf.
