What kind of stories did you grow up with?

What kind of myths and fairy tales were you told?

[dothelokimotion]

Is that what it is?

[deathkid]

[ sorry, loki, but he's not going to go over what he's been through with you. ]

pretty much.
besides, i didn't have enough time for it
there were wars to fight and stuff

[dothelokimotion]

How exciting.

[ If it wasn't text, Loki's tone would be anything but. ]

So you grew up because it is something you had to do.

[deathkid]

that pretty much covers it.

[dothelokimotion]

Isn't it convenient when it does?

[deathkid]

yes it is
so why are you asking about myths

[dothelokimotion]

Why not? I do have a vested interest in them.

[deathkid]

because of who you are?

[dothelokimotion]

In a manner of speaking. I have no interest in dispelling my own stories, no matter what form they take.

[deathkid]

i admit, i'm not as familiar
with the norse stories.
i know that the pantheon exists in my world
but that's about it.

oh, and what the other loki has told me.

[dothelokimotion]

Neither am I. Some I am aware of, but the Norsemen spun their own webs and I will not take it from them.

And what my other self says is not the same for myself either.

[deathkid]

yeah, people tell stories about the greek gods
and some of them are right and some are very wrong
but it's better to not dispel those ideas.

you two are different. i get that.

[dothelokimotion]

[ The skin beneath his palm itches. ]

I believe that is easy to tell simply from looking at us.

[deathkid]

there is that, yes.

[dothelokimotion]

Then what is there to "get", pray tell.

[deathkid]

you share some things in common
because you're both loki
but you're also different because you're your own
individual selves.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Some of the sourness dissolves on his tongue. ]

Perhaps. He will go further than I and I do not begrudge him that.

[deathkid]

further where?

[dothelokimotion]

Into a new story.

[deathkid]

what makes you think that you won't?

it doesn't have to be the same as his
why can't you make your own story?

[dothelokimotion]

Call it a hunch.

[deathkid]

you're making your own story right now.
not even the gods can know when their own stories will end.

[dothelokimotion]

I know my story. And I know what end it will have. Having illusions over my own story is not charity or helpful.

[deathkid]

how do you know, though?

[dothelokimotion]

I know. How could I not?
