Died? I'm not sure if this is the right format for this conversation. I'm assuming you know how to send your location, given how you've been able to use this technology with some ease.
[ thor, contrary to a great many people's expectations, is fine with technology and manages to successfully drop a pin to one of the official hotel rooms ]
Know that if this is a trick, it will not go well for you, brother. There are some things for which I will not stand.
[ he ends the call, because he has to go and think long and hard about what all of this might mean ]
[It takes all his strength, but Loki manages to teleport directly into Thor's hotel room. He's out of breath when he arrives, usually having his other self or Stephen portal him somewhere when it's longer distance.]
It's a strange thing... when both sides worry the other is pulling the wool over their eyes.
[ thor's most recent interactions with his brother have been-- fraught to say the least. so his initial reaction to loki's appearance is a jumble of frustration and guilt and-- gods, he wants to take the child in his arms and never let go
[Or Ikol’s fault, whatever. He would’ve liked his older self to give him a heads up in that case.]
It was just a prank, purely harmless mischief. Another Loki started a theater here and erected these huge statues of us along with Mother and Father. He angered me so I played dress up with them. I made his statue cosplay Doctor Strange, it was great fun.
We’ve yet to discuss it. But he’s not Stephen’s biggest fan so I can’t imagine he was happy. Hence why I thought you might be him playing a prank in retaliation.

[Let him collapse on the comfy hotel bed, thanks]
no subject
after a moment's pause, he sits on the bed ]
When did you learn to do that? Teleport.
no subject
[Instead of being stored in an imaginary bird!]
You've grown older without me. Again.
no subject
[ thor still isn't sure that this isn't his brother playing some terrible prank on him. but he wants to believe. ]
You'll simply have to catch up. The slow way.
no subject
[He shifts into his older self's form, thankful that takes less energy than other magic.]
Were you expecting this one?
no subject
[ thor's reaction to the shift is immediate and he can't quite cover the glower when he sees the face. it's probably answer enough ]
no subject
Luckily I have no interest in rushing things! Sorry, but that is what I'll look like when I grow up.
no subject
In-- a number of centuries.
[ it's a joke okay ]
Besides. He and I have matters we still have not worked through. It is not your fault you're unaware of it.
no subject
I’ve missed you. You’ve clearly missed me, judging by how much you look like Father now. I mean, if anyone’s skipping a few centuries...
How long has it been?
no subject
[ anything less than half a decade just doesn't seem worth counting, really. ]
And you? How long have you been here?
no subject
[A lie!]
no subject
[ please excuse the way he keeps staring at you. this is a lot just now ]
no subject
[Because! It is a look! And Thor should appreciate flattery where he can get it.]
no subject
[ though over such a short period of time that it almost feels like it was ]
And from you, I do expect to hear about the statues at the theater.
[ yes, he was listening to that part ]
no subject
[Or Ikol’s fault, whatever. He would’ve liked his older self to give him a heads up in that case.]

no subject
[ his expression eases at hearing about the statues, because that does sound just like loki ]
He wasn't flattered, I take it?
no subject
no subject
[ the longer they talk, the more thor relaxes-- accepts that this somehow is the child. ]
