[frostedire]

Gold? [Loki does not bother to keep the disgust from his tone.] Truly, I am as a stranger to you. Why do you persist in attempting to salvage a bond with someone you know not at all?

[thorgi]

[Thor stared at Loki, shaking his head. His heart was breaking.]

You are right, brother. I do not know you.

Glad Tidings? XD

[raisedawidow]

How do you really feel about this arrangement of ours?

Always :3

[frostedire]

I'm beginning to feel as though I may not be alone.

<3

[raisedawidow]

What do you mean by that? Alone?

[frostedire]

Alone. Possessed of no companions. Swept to one side.

[raisedawidow]

And now you feel like you won't be. [She pauses, still guarded.]

And how does that make you feel?

[frostedire]

[He sets his teeth so hard they grind, but it doesn't matter. He speaks the truth regardless.]

It makes me feel like surviving.

[raisedawidow]

[And she stays that way. At least she can be neutral.] Do you really want this alliance to work?

[frostedire]

Yes. [There's no hesitation.]

[raisedawidow]

[She's not entirely surprised. He hadn't tried to kill her yet.]

Why?

[frostedire]

Because this is what I have left!

[It comes out louder than he intends, but he doesn't take it back. He couldn't, even if he wished to. It's the truth.]

[raisedawidow]

[She almost flinches at the yell, but instead her eyebrow goes up.]

And what do you think you deserve?

[frostedire]

Less than I've received.

[By the Bifrost's shards, why can't he stop talking? One hand smooths over his hair and he directs a poisonous glare at her before turning his back.]

[raisedawidow]

Why don't you appreciate what you have? [She just can't stop asking. He's actually answering her questions.]
