[unkindled_madness]

But I don't want it to be palatial.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki sighs. ]

Fine, fine. Nothing that big.

[unkindled_madness]

Would you really want that?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki laughs softly. ]

No, not really. It's a shame but I've outgrown the desire for a castle and a throne.

[unkindled_madness]

Is that not progress?

[dothelokimotion]

[ his tone is wistful. ]

I don't know. I've changed so much. Sometimes I wonder if I'm much of a Loki anymore.

[unkindled_madness]

I thought change was part of being Loki.

[dothelokimotion]

Yes, but they also don't become Mayors or theatre owners respectably.

[ that's what their last fight was about, loki telling him what a joke being mayor was. what a trifle.

he shakes his head. ]

It's fine.

[unkindled_madness]

...as long as those are things you want, then yes. It is fine.

[dothelokimotion]

[ they're armor. protection. and it served him well.

but other than sephiroth, what has loki wanted? he smiles instead. ]

Of course.

[unkindled_madness]

That is what's important, isn't it? What you really want.

[That's what he's been working on.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki purses his lips for a moment. ]

I . . . like to think so.

[unkindled_madness]

...why shouldn't it be?

[dothelokimotion]

I spent so long, thinking I knew what I wanted, thinking if I got it, everything would be just right.

But it never was. So I suppose I don't always trust myself.

[unkindled_madness]

...then we can work through it together. To be certain of what we both want.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki smiles at him, soft. ]

I like that.

[unkindled_madness]

You've helped me with it, after all.

[dothelokimotion]

I did, didn't I?

I'm the best thing you've wanted.

[unkindled_madness]

[He grins at that, pleased to hear Loki say it.]

Oh, by far.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he flushes at that. ]

And I deserve a comfortable bed with you in it.

[unkindled_madness]

You do.

It may not be as spacious as you'd like, but I can provide something like that now.

[dothelokimotion]

Splendid.

[ he presses a quicksilver kiss to the corner of sephiroth's lips. ]

Because as lovely as it is to be pressed against the door, I don't want to spend the whole day here.

[unkindled_madness]

[He chuckles. They really didn't make it very far, did they?]

I had priorities.

[But he will give Loki a tug towards the bedroom.]

[dothelokimotion]

And I wasn't complaining.

[ he twines their fingers together, giving them a squeeze. ]

[unkindled_madness]

No. Just expressing a want.

[He squeezes back as they head down the hallway.]
