[Sephiroth scoffs faintly.]

Well...

Is the Valkyrie a good king?

[dothelokimotion]

[ he blinks. ]

I should think so. They have prospered here.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth nods.]

Then perhaps he chose correctly, this time.

[dothelokimotion]

[ huh. ]

This time?

[unkindled_madness]

It was a poor choice to leave you behind.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki falls silent, turning his gaze to the golden-white marble arch in the distance. where odin passed on. he wants to fan the embers of his anger, let his tongue taste the bitterness of his rage, let his discontent sweep him like a tidal wave. but in regards to thor, loki just feels numb. undying fidelity and for what? for thor to find him and leave him over and over?

and even if he didn't mean to, that it was out of his control, what then? what does it mean?

maybe thor was right all along back then. they had gone their separate paths. he would be himself and loki would be loki and that . . . was that.

even if loki would have liked to be there. for his wedding. perhaps loki could have sent a message. called him. but . . . he doesn't. instead he just sighs softly. ]

It doesn't matter.

[unkindled_madness]

...it did.

But perhaps it matters less now.

[Loki has someone who will choose him.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki nods slowly, somber. ]

[unkindled_madness]

I didn't mean to make you dwell on it.

I only meant... You are worth more than his choices.

[dothelokimotion]

I know.

[ he sighs again, reaching for sephiroth's hand. ]

It's just hard to let go of.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth takes it, firmly.]

...it's all right if it is.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he smiles weakly. ]

Is it?

[unkindled_madness]

That was your life for centuries. It only makes sense.

[dothelokimotion]

A lot of things about then never made sense.

[ but loki squeezes his hand reassuringly. [

But you're right. It'll come to me.

[unkindled_madness]

[He nods.]

You don't need to rush it.

[dothelokimotion]

No, I don't. I'll decide for it on my own terms.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth smiles.]

Precisely. And I'll be here, regardless.

[dothelokimotion]

Yes. I know that for a certainty.

[unkindled_madness]

[His smile widens.]

The doubts are long gone?

[dothelokimotion]

Vanished without a trace.

[unkindled_madness]

I like that very much.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki chuckles softly. ]

It is a strange thing to finally feel so free.

[unkindled_madness]

It is, isn't it?

Especially to have this... security, alongside it.

[dothelokimotion]

Do you feel the same way? With me?

[unkindled_madness]

I have no doubts.
