What kind of stories did you grow up with?

What kind of myths and fairy tales were you told?

Now, I am merely waiting until I can be returned there.

You will.

[ It was tempting to say his own thoughts on the matter, but they were hopeless and Loki did not see the need. ]

[ She would say "you too," but she doesn't know if that would reassure him. ]

Why the sudden interest in stories?

I would not call this sudden. The interest has always been there. After all, we were shaped from our stories, were we not?

I suppose we were. Stories are not my forte, I'm afraid. Though if you are interested in stories, you would like Sera. She tells the best ones.

I have always held a fondness for stories. Thor used to listen to mine for a time. It was the only way to get him to sit still.

I imagine he must have been a rambunctious child.

He was a child who tend to get his way. No mere person could stand up to Thor and survive.

Spoiled them.

Yes, he seems the type.

He was. It only got worse as he grew older.

Did something intervene? He does not seem so spoiled now.

He fell in love. Or so he believed.

You doubt his love?

It's not as though he is in love anymore. Falling in love with a mortal was fragile to begin with.

I see. Perhaps it was, but he seems to have kept the lessons he learned in humility.

Apparently he can retain some things in that head of us.

Apparently so.

I, for one, am relieved that he's not beyond learning.

Yes, it is a comforting fact.

To us and all the Realms.
