[dothelokimotion]

That's fine. A nice change of pace, in fact.

[unkindled_madness]

It's true, we don't spend much time in bars.

[dothelokimotion]

Have you spent any time at bars at all?

[unkindled_madness]

...I believe you've been there every time.

[There was the bar back on Carcosa, and the one they snuck into as kids.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ he chuckles. ]

I suppose those instances count. But perhaps we'll have a proper bar experience.

[unkindled_madness]

Yes, perhaps I'll finally learn how it's done.

[dothelokimotion]

And perhaps find you a favourite drink.

[unkindled_madness]

How many do you expect me to sample in one night?

[dothelokimotion]

You don't think I can't find something suited to your tastes? I'm insulted.

[unkindled_madness]

But how would we be certain it was my favorite?

[dothelokimotion]

I guess we'll just have to try our luck.

[unkindled_madness]

I suppose so.

I'm sure you'll find something I like.

[dothelokimotion]

Of course I will.

[unkindled_madness]

[They're approaching the modest "downtown" area where the bar is, but Sephiroth makes no effort to detach himself from Loki. Arm-in-arm is... fine.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki squeezes his arm for a moment with a soft smile on his face. ]

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth returns the smile.]

I'm glad you're already enjoying yourself.

[dothelokimotion]

Of course. I always enjoy myself with you.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth's smile widens.]

Always?

[dothelokimotion]

Always. Even as a child, it seems to hold true.

[unkindled_madness]

So it seems.

We figured it out much more quickly, even.

[dothelokimotion]

That is unsurprising.

[unkindled_madness]

Mm. I was more... open to it.

[dothelokimotion]

And you think you're less open now?

[unkindled_madness]

I think I have habits now that are harder to break.

[dothelokimotion]

We all do.

But we persevere, don't we?
