ORB: 10 of Rebirth's Height

[sorcerous]

[ See Loki. See Loki in a nature-esque background that's fairly rocky, a bit hilly, but also very generic. Could be anywhere. Could totally be a place that is not on a mountainside where one would go and seek some dragons.

See Loki's horse, dappled and dark and very skittish, at the moment. He cuts a regal figure on her, straight-backed, strong; he handles her skittish movement with an easy hand. ]

My brother -- Thor -- has arrived. I suppose you will greet him, Sif, if you have not already. To you, and to the rest who fancy themselves heroes: know that I will be watching your moves with great interest.

But I no longer count myself among you.

[ This is the closest Loki will get, at this moment, to a declaration of villainy.

ooc: I cannot stress enough that Loki is being a douchebag and is wrong about basically everything. ]

I have nothing to say to you.

[brosif]

After such a declaration?

[sorcerous]

You are Thor's.

[brosif]

I am mine.

[sorcerous]

You swore your fealty long ago.

[brosif]

To Asgard, yes. Always.

You made your own oaths.

[sorcerous]

I'm a Frost Giant. What's your excuse?

[brosif]

For what, Loki?

[sorcerous]

Do not speak to me this way! I will not stand by his side. Never again. And your choice will be for him. Leave me be.

[brosif]

[There in genuine confusion in her voice, as there has so often been in their interactions over the past three days.]

In what way am I speaking to you? Honestly?

[sorcerous]

As though I owe you anything.

[brosif]

It's no different than how you have spoken to me since I arrived.

[sorcerous]

Everything has changed.

[brosif]

I have not. And yet you saved my life.

[sorcerous]

I saved all of us.

[brosif]

Yes. You did.

[sorcerous]

Including myself.

[brosif]

I am aware of that.

It would have been easier to leave me behind. There would be one less person in the world who vexes you so.

[sorcerous]

I cannot stay with him, Sif. I will never have peace, not until he is dead.

[brosif]

You are smarter than this. Killing Thor would leave you no peace -- only continued bitterness, and nothing to aim it at.

[sorcerous]

And leaving him alive? That will take the bitterness away?

[brosif]

I believe nothing but time will take away what rests so firmly in your own heart.

Take your time. Take all the time, all the space you need. You don't have to count yourself among those trapped here. You don't have to hold company with your brother. But you needn't move against him, either.

HE DOES WHAT HE WANTS

[sorcerous]

I will do as I please.

EXCEPT SIF LOLOLOLlol

[brosif]

Those are the words of a child.

[sorcerous]

A trait you never minded when it came to Thor!
