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. ]

And what have you to say to that?

[fridgetothefire]

Well, you kind of backtracked. Are we killing him, or are we just not standing at his side because he's a lousy leader?

[sorcerous]

'We'. You lend your hand so readily?

[fridgetothefire]

You're the first person I haven't hated since I was four years old.

So...yeah. I mean, who else am I gonna throw in with?

[sorcerous]

You know I am not good. Not beloved, nor trusted.

[fridgetothefire]

Yeah, me neither. That's pretty much why I like you.

[sorcerous]

Then let the birds guide you, and join me.

[fridgetothefire]

And do what?

[sorcerous]

Later. If you trust me.

For now, gather all the rumors you can about the dragons that live above us, and the route from here to the thorns.

[fridgetothefire]

[She smiles. And - surprisingly, it's - well. It's kind of nice having an actual scheme to focus on again, even if she doesn't know all of it.]

I can do that.

I'm probably going to meet him while I'm doing it, though. Can you trust me not to go all googly-eyed over him when I say he sounds like everything I hated about my own brother and sister?

[sorcerous]

If you turn to loving him, I will know.

[fridgetothefire]

We've already established that you see through me.

He was always kind of boring in the stories. I mean, doesn't he just...hit stuff?

[sorcerous]

[ ...no. ]

Yes. A stubborn lout, if there ever was one.

[fridgetothefire]

[makes a face]

Awesome. However will I resist.

[sorcerous]

[ Loki fears that you won't -- because he himself didn't.

He has loved Thor forever. ]

Make it quick. We act tomorrow.

[fridgetothefire]

[She nods, then ends the conversation. No point wasting time.]
