Do you hate me for the things that I have done?

[freshoffthefarm]

No, I don't.

[justabitoffun]

Why not?

[freshoffthefarm]

Because when no one's looking, you can be a nice guy? I don't know. I liked you before you were an asshole to me.

[justabitoffun]

But you know it's not going to end. Why cling to the old? Why pretend you still care?

[freshoffthefarm]

I don't. I mean, I don't want bad things to happen to you, but... like you said, it's a lost cause. This friendship was never a good thing.

[justabitoffun]

It was never really "nice" in the first place, that is the real truth. [He pauses.] ...At least you seem to get it. At least you're not... [He sighs.] ...then again, how can I know that's what you normally think if this is all forced.

This was a foolish idea.

[freshoffthefarm]

I guess that makes me even sillier for thinking you were ever nice in the first place. My loss, not yours.

I've never lied to you, Loki, so I'm not really being forced to tell you the truth now.

[justabitoffun]

But to say it's the truth when it's forced doesn't mean the emotions behind it are the same whenever you try to hide other factors. But very well. It doesn't seem entirely unlikely that a mortal would have more common sense than the Thunderer. So I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

At least you're not trying to tell me I could be a better person. Anymore.

[freshoffthefarm]

You'll think what you want and act on it in whatever manner you see fit, no matter what. You always do.

No. No, I'm not. That ship has sailed.
