[ loki hadn't said yes, technically. he could have pretended it never happened. it was all a dream! but it would feel regressive and loki despises the idea of turning the dial back on his own growth.

so he sucks it up, as the humans say. he finds a new restaurant in town, sends a message to balthier and waits. he may not show, but let it never be said loki didn't at least try. ]

[ new asgard. loki stands by the hill, watching the ships go by. there is so much energy there now. with tourists and aliens mingling freely, it seems so free. not a single touch of gold. it's not what he envisioned but . . . they seem to be happy.

he has to make peace with that. squeezing sephiroth's hand, he smiles. ]

Ready to go down and see?

[portolan]

[ Upon finding himself lucid after that dream encounter, Balthier had wondered if he'd been too harsh, or if he ought to reach out, and was mulling over inviting both Sephiroth and Loki over one of these weekends when he receives Loki's message. Well, that clears that up.

The other Lokis liked sweets, and while he hardly thinks versions of oneself are the same, he has noticed trends, and so he brings some of the lemon tart he's made for David that week, offering a simple pastry box with a ribbon on it to Loki along with a smile as he sits ]

It's good to see you in the flesh. Sleeping better lately?

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth isn't sure what he was expecting "New Asgard" to be like, but it seems so... grounded. Not a normal town, but far from a palace. It seems quite lively.

He wonders how Loki feels about returning again. He squeezes back.]

Of course.

[dothelokimotion]

[ it's always a little bittersweet. as all things are. loki tugs him along as they make their way into the town. it is a bustling sight. large ships flying overhead, boats on the bay. there are a small gaggle of children by the meadow doing combat instruction. ]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki shrugs. ]

Sometimes.

[ neither he nor sephiroth sleep well, but they manage. ]

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth's gaze lifts to watch the ships overhead.]

You have airships.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki smiles. ]

We do. They were common on Asgard too.

[unkindled_madness]

Might we ride in one?

[dothelokimotion]

I don't see why not. We can rent one.

[unkindled_madness]

I might like that.

[dothelokimotion]

Then we shall do that.

[unkindled_madness]

[He smiles.]

But I want to see what you want to show me, first.

[dothelokimotion]

That can wait. Why don't we go for a ride first?

[ he glances around and ah, there it is. there's a man with a few ships floating in the air. loki heads over to exchange some money to gain access to a ship. he gestures for sephiroth to come near as the staff pulls up a ladder for them to climb on board. ]

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth doesn't protest, but he will ask as they climb aboard:]

You aren't nervous, are you?

[dothelokimotion]

[ he blinks. ]

Nervous?

[unkindled_madness]

About your plans?

Or... being back here?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki pauses. ]

No. I have no place here and that . . . is fine. As for my plans, I didn't want to make it too grand. It wouldn't suit you. I just wanted you to come here with me. To see this.

[unkindled_madness]

...all right.

[He walks a little ways along the ship's rail, looking down.]

Tell me about this place, then.

[dothelokimotion]

New Asgard?

[ they rise up into the sky, slow and steady. ]

We — Thor picked a spot near Norway, a land we used to visit when we were young. Some things are greatly changed to suit this culture.

[unkindled_madness]

Greatly changed?

[dothelokimotion]

For one, we never had so much tourists and commercial outlets. But we — they are no longer the sovereigns of the universe. They came to this planet with nothing.

I'm just glad they seem happy.

[unkindled_madness]

They do seem to be thriving.

This planet welcomed them?

[dothelokimotion]

Well, Thor is a prominent hero in this world.

Our only concern then was my arrival but . . . since I never arrived, it wasn't an issue.

[unkindled_madness]

I'm sure it would have been all right.
