[ damn it. ]

Your father banished him before he fell into the Odinsleep. You are king of Asgard now.

[trickstering]

[This is too confusing, and it feels like a hundred questions come to mind at once and before he can stop them coming spilling from his mouth, too.]

That doesn't make sense - what could he have done and why wouldn't I fix it if I were king? I don't understand.

[and then more quietly]

Thor is supposed to be king.

[glaived]

I don't either. [ because she doesn't. she doesn't know why Loki doesn't try and fix this mess and bring Thor back to them. ] But it is what it is, and there is nothing you can do as you are.

[ a longer pause. ]

What is supposed to be does not matter. You are king, not he.

[trickstering]

[He crawls out from underneath the covers and just stares at her, mustering as much judgment as a 200yearold can.]

Those aren't answers.

[glaived]

I learned the art of avoidance from the best.

[ hah!! ]

Thor nearly broke the peace between Jotunheim and Asgard - banishment is his punishment.

[trickstering]

I see.

[somehow that is not surprising, really.]

[glaived]

He is not alone, though. He has made friends - mortal ones.

[ as if it'll be some comfort to him. ]

[trickstering]

Mortals? How does that even work?

[glaived]

Well once one is banished to Midgard, it only stands that those he'd meet are mortals.

[ gosh Loki. ]

[trickstering]

[he sighs. he's 200, not stupid. whatever he just. won't ask questions and sulk here instead.]

[glaived]

[ SIGH. ]

Don't sulk.

[trickstering]

You're not being fair, and you're not answering me.

[glaived]

[ kids. ]

I am not entirely sure if you want to know the answers. Or even should know them.

[trickstering]

I do want to know.

[glaived]

Your brother was banished to Midgard, and you have done nothing as King to see him returned to us. I know not why, only that I have tried to convince you otherwise and you will not hear of it.

[trickstering]

[hey hey hey he's told you like a gazillion times why sif 8| ]

That doesn't make sense!

[glaived]

But it is the truth.

[ blah blah blah she thinks he's being stupid about it. ]

Ask what else you wish to know, and this time I swear I will answer them.

[ that's good right? she doesn't know how to deal with kids. ]

[trickstering]

Are we still friends?

[glaived]

Yes. Though at times you can be completely insufferable and extremely maddening.

[ not like he was any different as a child, though. ]

[trickstering]

Then why didn't I apologize to you?

[glaived]

[ a shrug. ]

Perhaps you believed that you were in the right at the time. It was centuries ago, however, do not give it much thought.

[trickstering]

How come you were looking for me?

[glaived]

We switched bodies a few days before this - I was checking to see if you'd returned to normal as I had.

[ clearly not. ]

[trickstering]

[what]

[glaived]

Magic, something called a virus.

[ h/o she's gonna pat herself down for her phone. ]

I am not sure how it all works - though I know someone who could tell you if you wished.
