[dothelokimotion]

We're not a family known for our restraint.

[unkindled_madness]

[He snorts.]

I suppose not.

[dothelokimotion]

I saw this when I first came here.

It was . . . nice to be remembered. Even with something silly like this.

[unkindled_madness]

[His expression softens.]

You thought you'd be forgotten. You mean something to them.

[dothelokimotion]

Yes. Maybe it's not a statue or anything grand.

[ loki's gaze turns to the audience. it's always packed. ]

But people seem entertained.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth glances towards the statue on the cliff.]

A statue is a rather passive thing, anyway.

[dothelokimotion]

[ his lips twitch. ]

You don't think they're majestic?

[unkindled_madness]

They can be attractive, but after a while, they tend to become a part of the background.

[He gestures to the stage.] This requires participation. There is an actor who studied to portray you. He rehearsed this story, likely spent time thinking about it. Is that not a better legacy?

[dothelokimotion]

[ huh. he never thought of it that way. ]

I suppose it is.

Though before I had a gold statue and a play.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth laughs.]

Statues can take time. Perhaps one is forthcoming.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki shrugs. the last time he came here, he was more upset about it. now, he feels more grounded. certain. ]

If it does, it does. It's no longer my concern.

I'm happy with the way things are.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth eyes him for a moment. If that's genuine, then he's glad.]

I suppose we wouldn't get to see it very often, anyway.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he sighs, though it is not particularly melancholic. ]

No. I think it's time to let this all go.

[unkindled_madness]

[He hesitates.]

You don't intend this as a last visit...?

[dothelokimotion]

[ he chuckles. ]

No. Merely that I need to stop wanting this place to be what I want it to be.

I have to let go of it in my heart.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth nods.]

...let it be what it is.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki twines their fingers together. ]

The only world I'm ready to build is the one with you.

[unkindled_madness]

And that one we can make what we want.

[dothelokimotion]

Indeed.

Whatever we imagine it to be.

[unkindled_madness]

And what do you imagine?

[dothelokimotion]

[ a good question. this is as far as loki has come into finally letting himself believe. ]

A world where I'm not afraid to lose. To be worthy.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth squeezes his hand.]

The first may take some time. [He gets scared of that, too.]

But you are worthy.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki lets out a quiet breath. worthy. ]

[unkindled_madness]

...and I have high standards.

[dothelokimotion]

[ that makes him laugh. ]

Do you now?
