Who: Sephiroth

unkindled_madness & you!
What: Sephiroth has been activated as a sleeper agent!
When: late April and into May
Where: Sunset Falls, Central City
Content Warnings: N/A for now.

[Some are bound to notice something off about Sephiroth. It's unusual for him to miss meetings or show up late for work--but not so unusual that it's never happened before. This world has its stressors, and maybe he's just going through something again.

During the same time period, Fantastic has been making news thwarting a small rogue's gallery of fresh new villains. But apart from "Shadow Flare" being pretty tall, it isn't the natural conclusion to think that Sephiroth might be behind the mask. One, he's always professed a confusion and even disdain for costumes and alter egos. Two, all of the fights are happening in or around Central, and Sephiroth only travels there when borrowing Loki's teleporter. Absolutely no reason to connect the two.]

Just the cat.

[Said cat hops up onto the bed. Loki can probably feel it padding across the mattress in search of the ideal spot.]

[ oh. loki smiles faintly, reaching out to the cat. ]

[The cat comes up to sniff his hand, then rubs its face lightly against his fingers.]

[ still smiling quietly, loki scratches under its chin. ]

It's much smaller than the cats I knew.

[Sephiroth quirks an eyebrow. Loki, this is a maine coon.]

It's quite large for a cat.

Our cats were much larger. You could ride them.

...did you? Ride them, I mean.

I did, a few times. It's not the easiest thing to do.

I imagine not.

Once this one is more comfortable with you, he may try to ride you.

[ loki chuckles. ]

Is that so?

He certainly does it to me.

He must be very fond of you. Like all Lokis are.

All Lokis?

[He doesn't know about that.]

The ones with taste at least.

Mm. I'll give you that.

[ loki dangles his fingers in front of the cat, watching it stare in curiosity. if he had the energy, he might transform and scare it. that'd be funny. ]

Have you gotten used to having a pet around?

...for the most part, yes. It's still strange at times.

How so?

Well, he... depends on us.

[ loki smiles faintly. ]

He does. You don't think you're dependable?

I didn't say that.

It's just strange to think about.

Mm.

[ loki tucks his head against sephiroth's shoulder quietly. ]

I was really happy I could help you.

[Sephiroth is quiet for a moment. His first instinct is to reassure Loki that he doesn't need to be useful to him, but... that's not what this is.]

...I'm grateful that it means so much to you.

It did. I failed them all, but I didn't fail you.

...you never have.
