[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.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki leans over to place a kiss upon his brow. ]

You can be whoever you want to be.

[unkindled_madness]

Perhaps, it would be nice to have another kind of expertise.

[dothelokimotion]

You should, if you're interested in it.

[unkindled_madness]

[A faint smile.]

And your offer still stands?

[dothelokimotion]

Of course. Without a doubt.

[unkindled_madness]

I may look into it, then.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he smiles faintly. ]

Good.

[unkindled_madness]

[He shifts, his expression easing as he looks at Loki.]

...you never did tell me your dreams.

[dothelokimotion]

[ ah. loki falls silent for a moment, his expression somber. ]

I wanted to rebuild Asgard. Side by side with Thor. We were finally going to be equals. He would finally need me. I thought I'd finally be building a real future, a better one. For myself, for my people.

[ he huffs quietly. ]

It was a silly dream to begin with.

[unkindled_madness]

Why is that silly?

[dothelokimotion]

Because they didn't need me.
