[ that's....extremely charming ]

And what's the verdict, having lived this myth?

[dothelokimotion]

I quite enjoyed it, though I hoped it'd be taller.

[portolan]

I'm sure we could make adjustments for your next event.

[dothelokimotion]

Perhaps. It'll be a while before I host another party. I need to focus on productions for now.

[portolan]

You have one started then? I admit I have not been to the theater in some time -- I'm looking forward.

[dothelokimotion]

One I held in Asgard before coming here. But I'm also researching into other pieces of literature as well.

[portolan]

If you need furniture or props, let me know. The shop would be happy to lend them out.

[ look he even says it with a straight face. He's had everything left in the inventory combed over, again, and Strange will look at anything he's loaning out. it's fine. ]

[dothelokimotion]

[ he smiles faintly. ]

A most generous offer.

[ a pause as he asks gently. ]

How have you been since Excelsior?

[portolan]

Tired.

[ he admits it quicker than he maybe intends to. ]

Frayed. There were things from before I had been quite honestly avoiding dealing with. And some other things I am still going to have to.

[ Like how he can kill people by transferring wounds. Or how he wasn't even aware his partner was being nearly murdered by a demon and protected by the ex that had caused their initial fall out. ]

I suppose relieved, too. There are some people I quite care for I'm closer to as a result of those events. Met a few new people too.

[ He returns the faint smile at that. ]

You?

[dothelokimotion]

[ he shrugs. ]

I am mostly unharmed. There are a few weaknesses I will see to, but I will get there.

[portolan]

Honestly, I'm glad to hear it.

[ He does feel responsible, okay. ]

[dothelokimotion]

Mm. It will settle. These things are common here.

[portolan]

I'm starting to piece that together. And here I thought things would be quieter here.

[dothelokimotion]

They can be, if you understand how to navigate them. It's not a complicated place.

You have to make your own corner.

[portolan]

I'm starting to see that.

Was your last world like this, then? Mine very much was not.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he shakes his head slowly. ]

Asgard is nothing like Earth. But I have some experience with Earth and heroes, so the transition did not trouble me.

[portolan]

[ He wonders how much this Loki's Asgard has in common with the other two Loki's. ]

I'm glad for you then. Honestly, I've done better than I expected. Digital communications and the general lack of murderous beasts are both an improvement.

[dothelokimotion]

I don't know. A few murderous beasts could be nice. I like a little spontaneity in life.

[portolan]

[ He chuckles. ]

Alright, cheers to that. I do miss a good hunt. And seeing wildlife about -- it's strange being tied to one place week after week.

[dothelokimotion]

That is quite frustrating. I dislike being trapped against my will. No matter how pretty the cage.

[portolan]

Cheers to that. Though I'm starting to wonder if there's any world that doesn't feel like being trapped. Common theme, it seems.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he cocks his head at that. ]

Why would it be?

[portolan]

[ he shrugs ]

Seems almost everyone I've talked to either feels trapped here, or doesn't want to go back to a world they were trapped in.

[dothelokimotion]

Even if I could go back, I'd still choose not be trapped anywhere. A trap is no choice at all.

[portolan]

If you could go back freely, if this world suddenly opened for us to return home or go to other worlds, would you stay here?
