[ 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?

[unkindled_madness]

I do think so. It's been very rewarding.

[dothelokimotion]

It has been, hasn't it?

We've really made something out of this joined life.

[unkindled_madness]

Something greater than the sum of its parts.

[dothelokimotion]

A whole new thing entirely. Never seen before.

[unkindled_madness]

And belonging entirely to us.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki squeezes his arm, his voice soft. ]

I'm truly grateful to have you.

[unkindled_madness]

...I'm grateful to be yours.

[To belong to someone, in this way. He didn't know what it could feel like, or how much he would want it.]

[dothelokimotion]

I never dreamed anyone would want to be until you.

[unkindled_madness]

A failure of imagination, on both our parts.

[dothelokimotion]

[ that makes him chuckle. ]

Well, that won't happen again.

[unkindled_madness]

I hope not. I certainly feel better equipped to imagine.

[dothelokimotion]

What do you imagine next?

[unkindled_madness]

...this planet can be home, for little while longer. There's still much of it we haven't seen together.

And then, we'll find our way there. [He nods skyward.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki falls quiet for a moment, his gaze wandering over to sephiroth. yes, that's true. maybe there's a lot of this proto-earth that's worth seeing. they're stuck here. why not make the most of it?

even if it chafes a little, loki has time. they both have enough time. ]

All right. A little while longer.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth looks back at him.]

You'll enjoy showing off, won't you?

[dothelokimotion]

But of course. I have plenty to show off.

[unkindled_madness]

Indeed you do.

[dothelokimotion]

And you should enjoy this world too.

[unkindled_madness]

Now that I've learned how to enjoy things.

[dothelokimotion]

I do think you still have ways to go.

[unkindled_madness]

Oh?

Well, I expect you'll guide me.

[dothelokimotion]

I'll do my best.

[unkindled_madness]

Is there anything you would suggest in the moment?

[dothelokimotion]

Perhaps a kiss to commemorate?

[unkindled_madness]

[He chuckles.]

I would enjoy that.

[He leans in, brushing the side of Loki's face with gloved fingers.]
