She should not care; no one will see her out here. But she wishes she was
Loki bites the inside of his cheek. He must stay in control; he must fight with his mind...that is how Loki always wins, the only way he wins.
“Loki,” Odin says. “There are things happening now, new passages opening between the realms that should remain closed, branches from other realms approaching ours. Asgard cannot afford to be divided by this idea they have...this democracy...” Rolling his eyes, Loki says, “It’s more of a proto-democracy, hardly a threat.”
How could any children of his be so fatally idealistic? Where did he go wrong?
Humans have fallen so far since the early days when they’d just throw you a party when you killed a monster.
Cats are utter whores for a warm lap.

Loki is very good at finding lost things, and the more impossible the task, the more likely it is he will succeed. Even Odin gives him that.
