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 know I will find nothing different there.

[shiromadoushi]

Then why are you so fit on leaving?

[sorcerous]

I have left already. By there, I meant Schwanheim.

[shiromadoushi]

[[a soft sigh]]

At least here, you have people from outside who aren't like the ones you hate so much in the Kingdom. The one Eagle saw out there were just the same, after all...

[sorcerous]

Then my situation has not changed, and I am more content for the striving.

[shiromadoushi]

[[there's a bit of a pause]] There wasn't even anyone here you found to be friends with?

[sorcerous]

I am not the sort for friends.

[shiromadoushi]

Companions, then.

[sorcerous]

What is it you would like to hear?

Every companion of mine, I have abandoned. I have turned upon them and left them bitter enemies.

[shiromadoushi]

[[this is akin to blasphemy for someone from a shounen manga world.]]

But why...?

[sorcerous]

They loved another better than me.

[shiromadoushi]

That doesn't mean that they didn't care about you or want to be your companion.

[[If he got all huffy because how of Yuugi stole the spotlight, he'd never have had any friends...]]

[sorcerous]

I would rather be alone than be forever second.

[shiromadoushi]

It's that important to you?

[sorcerous]

Yes.
