[ the feed starts with loki looking somewhat wan and tired, but not easily spotted by those who don't know him. he speaks smoothly, without a hint of annoyance. ]

First off, for new arrivals and older ones who may be unaware, the Operium is always open for hire. If you're struggling for a job, then you're welcome to seek me out and find gainful employment.

Secondly, Thor has left this place. His belongings, however, are still here. I have in my possession:
- Some red cloaks
- A gaming console with a Fortnite subscription claimed
- A grill
- A charm bracelet
- A book on how to raise goats

You can come claim these at the Sunset Falls park. You have half an hour before I set them on fire. Good day.

...

I thought we established, this sort of activity is best shared.

I didn't come here to stop you. If you want to burn it, then burn it.

[Sephiroth moves closer, close enough to reach out and touch Loki, but he doesn't. Not yet.]

...the islands didn't matter?

[Now, Sephiroth does reach out a hand and place it firmly on Loki's arm.]

I am not going to abandon you. I don't believe you could fail me in any way that mattered.

Loki...

When the world fails you, it isn't because you deserve it. It isn't a just thing.

[Which seems to be one thing that he learned before Loki. There are no inherent rewards for goodness or punishment for harm.]

But you are enough for me.

[Like he kept saying.]

...do you think you made it happen?
unkindled_madness: (wutai)

[personal profile] unkindled_madness 2023-02-04 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
...I'm sorry. I know you wanted more time.

[To achieve some sense of closure, not just an ending.]

[Sephiroth is silent for a moment. Loki wanted so many things from Thor, from his family, his home, that he never got. It was never enough. But for all that he was overlooked or misunderstood, they did give him something.

What does it mean for Sephiroth to be enough, then? Is it a concession? Or can he really offer more than all that? Loki's assured him more than once, but he's also spoken of limiting himself, of feeling he wants too much.

What is being let go here?]


It did matter. But that doesn't mean... you have to be trapped in it.

[Right? You cannot escape the past. You can only cauterize it.]

[Sephiroth isn't convinced. He knows by now that it's never so simple, as much as one might want it to be. But... now isn't the time to argue it.

He nods.]


That can still be daunting, at first.

[personal profile] unkindled_madness 2023-02-05 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Sephiroth watches with him, as long as he wants. He keeps comparing it in his mind to things they've burned before, but Thor was someone Loki loved, not hated. He wonders if he can fully understand it.

He looks up at the question, searching Loki's face.]


If you like.

[That feels more honest, and something in Sephiroth eases.]

Of course. I'd be happy to.

[personal profile] unkindled_madness 2023-02-05 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Sephiroth moves a little closer, offering his hand.]

[personal profile] unkindled_madness 2023-02-05 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Sephiroth's grip, by contrast, is firm.]

I'm here.
