You're not wrong. Looking at it the right way, you might end up thankful for all the chances you get. Each one unique and precious and other Hallmark card phrases.

[dothelokimotion]

Hallmark?

[aeturnus]

Company known for making greeting cards with sappy little sayings in them. It's a small show of support sort of thing, usually if you can't make it to an event yourself.

[dothelokimotion]

Your people need help.

[aeturnus]

[ Legitimate laughter on the other side of the line, even if Loki can't hear it. ]

Yes, we really and seriously do. Of all the things we have problems with, this one is pretty tame.

[dothelokimotion]

I suppose it is. The card is rather garish but useful.

[aeturnus]

It's a safe business to be in, that's for sure.

[dothelokimotion]

Nothing is that safe.

[aeturnus]

Well, humans mess up a whole lot and tend to skimp out on talking about it. So cards are a pretty normal go-to.

Then you get the ones who care enough about each other to actually sit down and talk it out. Takes all sorts.

[dothelokimotion]

They truly enjoy these needless complications, don't they? Filling up their lives with cards and names?

[aeturnus]

Think of it like shorthand. Things you do when you're in a hurry.

[dothelokimotion]

You lot are always in a hurry.

[aeturnus]

As you like to point out, we don't have a lot of time.

[dothelokimotion]

No. That much is true.

[aeturnus]

Doesn't really surprise me how much of a hurry people are in, then.

[dothelokimotion]

I suppose it still surprises me.

[aeturnus]

You don't usually have to deal with mortals, do you?

[dothelokimotion]

No. That is my brother's way, not mine.

[aeturnus]

Your brother?

And really you'll get used to it here. It doesn't have to be A Thing, but it's the majority of the population. It'll come.

[dothelokimotion]

As I said. I have no reason to invite that kind of masochism.

[aeturnus]

What'll you do in the meantime?

[dothelokimotion]

Work on leaving, of course.

[aeturnus]

Working on the portal? Or some other approach?

[dothelokimotion]

I cannot say. I do not wish other people to hear.

[aeturnus]

Maybe we should meet up sometime, then.

[ Now's the chance to tell him if he's other people or not. It's an offer more than prodding. ]
