Huh.

[ Why would someone want to kill Loki? To scare the royal family, to send a message? The motives are numerous ]

Is that why the All-Father somehow magnanimously decided to have me back?

Re: asgardian AU thing

[trickor]

[ because they hate loki? it's also a valid reason ]

Because he, Thor, and Mother all agreed when I pointed out we at least knew you wouldn't try to kill me in the bath. Or at any other time.

Re: asgardian AU thing

[captainkink]

Thor did? The surprises just keep coming.

Re: asgardian AU thing

[trickor]

Thor is fond of you, you must know that. He'd steal you from me if he could.

Re: asgardian AU thing

[captainkink]

[ He blinks. Sure, they were pretty chill with each other, but he doubted Thor wanted to . . . steal him away. ]

Well, that won't happen.

Re: asgardian AU thing

[trickor]

No, it won't.

[ loki loves thor dearly, moreso than he can say for nearly anyone else, but if thor tried to take james from him, loki would destroy his brother. ]

Re: asgardian AU thing

[captainkink]

Glad that's in order.

Re: asgardian AU thing

[trickor]

I'm fine, you realize. It was merely a graze.

Re: asgardian AU thing

[captainkink]

Then why are you lying around in the hospital wing?

Re: asgardian AU thing

[trickor]

[ That, he has no answer to because it had been dangerous, to be attacked when he was naked and unarmed, surrounded by slick stone and tile. but loki is never fully unarmed, not when he has his seidr, and that was how he'd survived. ]

An over-reaction.

Re: asgardian AU thing

[captainkink]

Yours or theirs?

[ He was surprised that Loki was still here ]

Re: asgardian AU thing

[trickor]

Theirs, naturally.

[ Only half a lie. He isn't sure he'd have actually survived, if Thor had not stormed in upon hearing the ruckus when he'd arrived for his own bath. Loki had near killed his assailant, yes, and the man was no more a danger to him, but he had also been bleeding heavily into moving water. ]

I'm fine, James.

Re: asgardian AU thing

[captainkink]

. . . Good. It's -- I'm glad I heard that from you.

Re: asgardian AU thing

[trickor]

Come here.

Re: asgardian AU thing

[captainkink]

[ He moves his chair as close as he can. ]

Re: asgardian AU thing

[trickor]

[ he traces his fingertips down jim's cheek, along his jaw to press lightly against his lower lip ]

I trust you at my back.

Re: asgardian AU thing

[captainkink]

[ He blinks. Loki is not usually so forward in a public area. He glances around. ]

Well, yeah. You know I've got your back.

Re: asgardian AU thing

[trickor]

[ there are only a few other healers in the room and no one, at this exact moment at least, is watching. ]

Don't you dare betray me.

Re: asgardian AU thing

[captainkink]

[ He glances back at him, worried. ]

Of course not.

Re: asgardian AU thing

[trickor]

I know. You won't.

Re: asgardian AU thing

[captainkink]

Well, I don't blame you for questioning me right now.

Re: asgardian AU thing

[trickor]

I'm not questioning you.

Re: asgardian AU thing

[captainkink]

Aren't you?

Re: asgardian AU thing

[trickor]

No.

Re: asgardian AU thing

[captainkink]

You still look pretty shaken up.

[ But not all that surprised, somehow. Jim catalogues that for later. ]
