[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.

[unkindled_madness]

...that appealed to you then?

[dothelokimotion]

I . . . just did what everyone else was doing.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth nods.]

I hope there were things you found to like about it, even so.

[dothelokimotion]

It was fun to show off then. Dazzle them with our power.

[unkindled_madness]

They must have been quite impressed.

[dothelokimotion]

They were easily impressed at the time. But I never garnered much worship.

[unkindled_madness]

Well, clearly they weren't very discerning.

[dothelokimotion]

There's no helping that, unfortunately.

[unkindled_madness]

I will always appreciate your magic, at least.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki smiles. ]

I know. It's like you're reminding me how much I loved it.

[unkindled_madness]

I'm glad. You deserve that.

[dothelokimotion]

You think so?

[unkindled_madness]

[Word choice. "Deserve" always carries more weight with Loki, when perhaps what Sephiroth means is "I want it for you."

But should he not deserve it?]

Why not? I can't see what good comes of you denying yourself.

[dothelokimotion]

I think limiting my satisfaction is the good that comes out of it.

[unkindled_madness]

What is that supposed to mean?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki pauses. ]

Just that it's not always a good thing.
