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.

[unkindled_madness]

I disagree.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki smiles, touched. ]

I know.

[unkindled_madness]

Your happiness is a good thing.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he considers this thoughtfully before responding. ]

I am happy.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth motions him closer.]

Come here.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki blinks before moving closer to sephiroth. ]

[unkindled_madness]

[Look, he's steering the ship! He just needed Loki to come closer so he can lean in and kiss him.]
