I could not tell you. Our acquaintanceship was short-lived.

[ he blinks, a bit nonplussed at being thanked. ]

Our goals were aligned, that is all. There's no need for gratitude.

[qualityfriend]

They're probably all pretty similar anyway. Just either younger or older. [The number of kids is the main difference, and that's not something an outsider would notice.]

Still. What you did helped all of his victims, and whoever we might have terrorized, so you deserve thanks.

And- I think our goals are still aligned. Arcadia's still there, even if they're letting you out.

[ loki shrugs. he has put bruce out of mind for the most part, though loki is a petty man who harbours grudges like magpies hoard shiny things. ]

I'm still working on things on Arcadia, I'm simply more careful about my visits there.

[ he doesn't want to put sephiroth through that again. ]

[qualityfriend]

[She looks at him, surprised.]

Oh, you are? Even though they might try to trap you again?

[dothelokimotion]

I'm not one to be cowed by anything or anyone.

[qualityfriend]

I wasn't suggesting anything- it's just, when you've just gotten some freedom back, it's not reasonable to expect you to immediately risk losing it again. Even if someone needs to take that risk, it's like, why not enjoy the break and let someone else take the risk for a while? Though there aren't that many someone elses... [She shivers involuntarily.

[ loki purses his lips for a moment. ]

If I do not risk it, that would mean they have win. I have let them have that power over me.

It may be reasonable, but I am not, by nature, a reasonable person.

[qualityfriend]

[She gives him a small smile.]

My boyfriend would say something like that. It's one of the things I love about him. He doesn't let the bad guys just win by doing nothing.

If you do end up needing any help, let me know. I'm trying not to be one who just lets them win.

[dothelokimotion]

Of course. I'll keep it in mind.
