( closed to thor ) apartment domesticity

[dothelokimotion]

[ he was glad it didn't take much convincing. loki is not sure why it would have been. thor seemed happy enough to see him, happy enough that loki was there. things were fine. and like he told angela, he saw no reason to unbalance that. so what if thor hadn't brought him back? so what if he moved on in the future?

deep breaths.

loki unlocks the door to his apartment. he had gotten a prime condo on the rooftop with plenty of space. there were other, more homelier houses but all the empty rooms made him feel antsy. as if there was so little in his life, so little he could fill them up with. he didn't like thinking about it.

they step in and loki whirls around, facing thor and clapping his hands together with a wide smile. ]

Here we are.

( closed to balthier ) tea times

[dothelokimotion]

[ it was still strange to do this. to call upon someone for the express purpose of . . . bonding? getting to know one another? it seems so mundane and sentimental. of course, loki is well groomed in etiquette, has done the motions of it on asgard but no one in asgard really cared save for political gain. and it was a fun game at the time.

all those games have long soured. so while this is more honest, it feels more dangerous too. still, it seems easy enough. he enjoys tea and desserts and there's no harm in inviting balthier to his apartment.

it's a nice apartment.

when the wards signal balthier's arrival, loki smooths over his clothes before opening the door with a flick of his fingers. ]

Please. Come in.

( open ) the library

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki may not have shown it much during his opening night, but he had been truly grateful to receive suggestions and ideas. in the past, he would have been too disdainful to consider them but now he considers them as he pulls out books for his research. plays, operettas, musicals. there is a large pile of books and loki goes over each page painstakingly. he wants so badly for this to work.

he needs this to work.

someone knocks over his piles of books and loki exhales softly, a deep sigh before waving his hand and setting it to rights. ]

Please be careful. Literature deserves some respect.

[ some of the books are the importance of being earnest, waiting for godot, wicked, collected works of shakespeare, edgar allan poe etc. ]

( open ) late night, sunset falls

[dothelokimotion]

[ fear. fear had touched him. worked its way through his heart and held him in its grip. thanos is gone. asgard is gone. it seemed foolish to be held in grip, beholden to the things that controlled him before. and he despises that, to be trapped by old hurts and old wounds.

so he comes out late at night, along the edges of the forest (where the monsters are) and carefully shifts his form. breathes it in. out. lets the cold graze the trunks of old trees. lets himself exist as this.

he feels like an open wound like this, bleeding it out. but that's fine. once it's bled out, it'll end and loki will become inured. there's nothing he wants more desperately than that than to become completely hardened to it all. make him steel, make his heart iron.

make him more than what he is now. ]

Have you done anything fun in the last 24 hours or have you simply trapped yourself in your apartment.
