[ it was a long trek to get where they needed to go. there were more tourist-traveled paths. safer ones. but this one comes from memories long past so loki let his feet guide him to where they needed to be. it's strange. the land has changed, the people has changed and yet, it feels no different, even on this unknown earth.

perhaps that is simply the nature of gods. their stories tie them everywhere.

he glances at sephiroth. ]

You're not cold are you?

[Of course they could have gone with a guide, but Sephiroth doesn't care to involve other people in this, or to travel the paths others do.

He's dressed for the cold, though perhaps not bundled as much as a human would need to be.]

I'm all right. I... can always shift if I need to.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki starts as if that possibility had slipped his mind. he clears his throat to hide that. ]

That's true. There's certainly no one around.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth smiles softly at him.]

No one but you.

[And Loki's comfort with it does matter.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ his cheeks tint pink and he wordlessly reaches out to grasp sephiroth's hand. ]

It's not far now.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth gives his hand a squeeze through his glove, and declines to remark on the blush - for now.]

And this is a place you used to come?

[dothelokimotion]

Mm, long ago. When the land was new. I used to make this trek on my own.

[unkindled_madness]

You never had company?

[dothelokimotion]

It was deliberate. Sometimes you just need a quiet place of your own.

[unkindled_madness]

...that's very true.

I'm honored to be brought into it.

[dothelokimotion]

What's mine is yours.

[unkindled_madness]

Hmm. I suppose that's also very true.

[dothelokimotion]

More than ever now.

So it's only fair I show you my secret spots.

[unkindled_madness]

They're safe with me. I like knowing your secrets.

[dothelokimotion]

I don't think I have many left to share.

[unkindled_madness]

I know all the important ones, I think.

[dothelokimotion]

I should think so! I'd be worried otherwise.

[unkindled_madness]

Surely you wouldn't still worry at this point. I've already claimed all of you.

[dothelokimotion]

[ his cheeks go pink again. ]

Perhaps "worry" was an exaggeration.

[unkindled_madness]

[He gives Loki's hand a tug and leans in to kiss him on the cheek.]

Perhaps just a faint concern.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he smiles at that. ]

It'll go dimmer by the second, I'm sure.

[unkindled_madness]

We'll drown it out.

[dothelokimotion]

Mm. Until there's nothing but us.

[unkindled_madness]

What we are is quite a lot, so it won't be difficult.

[dothelokimotion]

That's true.

[unkindled_madness]

[He gives Loki's hand another squeeze and looks skyward.]

How do you think we compare?
