[ his expression softens. ]

No. But you have me.

[unkindled_madness]

I don't think I've seen you fly.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he smiles faintly. ]

I can fly. I have a few bird forms I take on when I need to.

[unkindled_madness]

[He blinks.]

Right. Of course.

[dothelokimotion]

I enjoy it. I haven't needed to for some time now.

[unkindled_madness]

Surely you could do it simply for the enjoyment.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki shrugs. ]

That was a long time ago.

[unkindled_madness]

And? Is there something preventing you?

[dothelokimotion]

[ he blinks. ]

. . . No. I suppose there isn't.

[unkindled_madness]

Then why not be a bird whenever you like?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki leans against the ship's railing as he considers this. ]

I don't know. The joy of it was gone for a very long time. I never thought about it.

Magic became a means to an end.

[unkindled_madness]

...do you worry it won't come back?

[dothelokimotion]

[ he shakes his head with a faint smile. ]

It only means I never considered it until now.

[unkindled_madness]

Well, I encourage it. Whenever you like.

[dothelokimotion]

Soon, perhaps.

[unkindled_madness]

[He nods.]

It isn't pressing. I don't seem to be crashing the ship.

[dothelokimotion]

And I'm very relieved.

[unkindled_madness]

You didn't have faith?

[dothelokimotion]

I can have faith and still be relieved.

[unkindled_madness]

[He chuckles.]

I'll be sure to turn it over to you should I have any trouble. I don't want to cause any damage.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki waves a flippant hand. ]

It'll be fine. Just enjoy yourself.

[unkindled_madness]

Mm. I aim to.

[Maybe they'll follow the coast a ways.]

Is this place much changed from when you were young?

[dothelokimotion]

Oh, greatly. There weren't so many people. Just little villages, a few towns. It's also much warmer.

Before, the coast would be littered with war boats.

[unkindled_madness]

Were they often at war?

[dothelokimotion]

They prefer to build their wealth and power through conquest. That's probably why we favored them at the time.
