We're both awake, aren't we?

[dothelokimotion]

Technically, I woke you up.

[ he sighs. ]

But I would welcome a distraction.

[unkindled_madness]

I'm no less awake.

[Hm, what's a good distraction.]

My collection of books is growing.

[dothelokimotion]

[ that prompts a light chuckle as he shifts to lie on his chest, so he can look over at sephiroth. ]

Found any favourites?

[unkindled_madness]

Ah... You might find my favorites a bit dry.

[dothelokimotion]

[ that's a curious answer. loki cocks his head at him. ]

How so?

[unkindled_madness]

[He's quiet for a moment.]

...I do like reading about rocks.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he smiles faintly, his expression faintly nostalgic. in the dream, he had been interested in such things. loki remembers. ]

Geological studies? Did you settle on a favourite kind? I'm partial to igneous rock myself.

[unkindled_madness]

Really?

[He seemed so bored by it before. But maybe that was just the illusion.]

[dothelokimotion]

Just because I'm not terribly fond of it does not mean I don't pay attention to your interests, Sephiroth.

[unkindled_madness]

...and you were certain that that was one of my interests?

[dothelokimotion]

I had a feeling.

[ his expression grows uncertain. had he overstepped? ]

[unkindled_madness]

It's just strange. Detangling that.

[dothelokimotion]

Yes, of course. It was a complicated time.

[unkindled_madness]

...I don't mind talking about it.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki doesn't seem convinced and shakes his head. ]

Tell me more about what you're reading.

[unkindled_madness]

[Maybe Loki doesn't want to talk about it? Sephiroth isn't sure what memories are keeping him up.]

...well, I'm currently in the middle of a book about using satellites in archaeology.

[dothelokimotion]

How does that work?

[unkindled_madness]

Evidently the imagery they provide enables archaeologists to locate previously undiscovered settlements and monuments. Places that have since been buried or grown over to such an extent that they aren't visible to the naked eye.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he hums, listening to the cadence of sephiroth's voice more than anything else, but not letting his attention wander. ]

That is a smart way to utilize technology.

[unkindled_madness]

Yes.

I find it quite remarkable how far the field has come here. My Planet seems decades behind.

[dothelokimotion]

I suppose you can take it back there. If you ever wanted to.

[unkindled_madness]

I'm only a layperson.

[dothelokimotion]

You're only a layperson right now. That can change.

[unkindled_madness]

...I suppose.
