    At the bottom of the tiny little fire-case, more a lamp lit with coals and flame than a proper fireplace, a tiny figure is curled around the coals, sleeping.

    Really, someone sitting on the couch should have woken her up; it has every time before, usually to yell at them to get off. This time, the room seemed to accept Loki's place in things and let him be.

    Now, however, that his focus was upon her, the little fire-figure stirred. There was no real transition between awake and asleep, one moment the flame was banked low - the other it was flaring to a respectable height. "Oh," and she smiled at him. "It's you."

    He smiled, trailing fingers cautiously over the glass, careful not to burn himself. Rather, he enjoyed the warmth. Was greedy for it, really, a relief from the constant sensation of cold that never left his bones in contrast to the heat of his own magic.

    Of all forms she could have taken, this seemed quite appropriate. "Indeed it is. Hello, love."
    touchofrogue: (And the Fire Said...)

    [personal profile] touchofrogue 2015-10-27 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
    If Rogue had any say about it - and she rather did, in this place - her fire would not burn anyone... unless she wanted it to. And she did not want to hurt Loki. Instead, she smiled at his address.

    She stepped closer, flickering over the coals. She moved close enough to the glass that she could peer up at him, but the glass maintained its pleasant heat. "Hello, Loki."

    She didn't need to say love in return. His name was enough.

    "Have ya been here long?"
    complicatedliar: (Default)

    [personal profile] complicatedliar 2015-10-28 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
    He heard it, felt it in all that warmth. "Just long enough to have a little rest on the couch," he says, tone teasing.
    touchofrogue: (And the Fire Said...)

    [personal profile] touchofrogue 2015-10-28 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
    "Really?" she smiled, somehow managing to look a little bit abashed even though... yeah, fire. "Maybe you should have a seat on the armchair instead."

    Considering he was still crouching by the coffee table and all...
    complicatedliar: (you smug little shit)

    [personal profile] complicatedliar 2015-10-29 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
    Loki chuckled. "I am rather fond of that couch, you know." But sure, he took the hint and sprawl on the chair in his habitual indolent pose. He idly moved one foot in the air.
    touchofrogue: (And the Fire Said...)

    [personal profile] touchofrogue 2015-10-29 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
    "I am too," a little wryly.

    It had been broken, she remembered now, a few months before he'd gone.

    But he wasn't gone now, and the couch was here now, and she'd much rather focus on that, and on the way he looked, comfortable and lounging on that chair. She had a nice view of it, despite the table with the unfinished puzzle next to the armchair. The framework of the puzzle was complete, and there were a few pieces scattered on the table, but more pieces appeared to be simply... missing.

    "Would ya like anythin' ta drink? Eat?"
    complicatedliar: (giggley)

    [personal profile] complicatedliar 2015-10-29 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
    "I've never said no to a glass of wine," he said. "Even when you threw it in my face." An oddly nice memory, that. Beginnings. He looked at the jigsaw puzzle. Without thinking about it, he reached over to put one of the pieces in place.
    touchofrogue: (And the Fire Said...)

    [personal profile] touchofrogue 2015-10-29 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
    Rogue laughed. "I did not throw it in your face--"

    But then he touched the jigsaw puzzle and the room around them faded to a pasture. The air is heavy, heat and humidity, and your long hair is sticking to the back of your neck. You are on the ground, on your back, and the creature you had been staring at with such wonder has transformed to something huge and terrifying as opposed to large and marvelous.

    The horse, its black coat gleaming, snorts at you.

    Sore and jolted from your fall, you roll away, looking to run if you can make yourself move...

    And then he was back in the armchair, the scene fading with the scent of crushed grass.

    Loki drew his hand back as if he'd been burned. "My apologies," he said. "I'd no idea that would happen." He'd been trying to not intrude. The entirety of their relationship was built on a very tenuous sort of trust.

    But mentally, he cataloged the memory; Rogue had told him about it, he was fairly certain. Back when they'd still been circling each other, when he'd wanted to get her the horse and they'd almost argued about it. Nothing that new, but for the experience of it.
    touchofrogue: (And the Fire Said...)

    [personal profile] touchofrogue 2015-11-01 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
    "That's okay," she said. She didn't really like it when people people touched the puzzle, but... after all, it was missing most of its pieces. There were only about a dozen scattered pieces outside the framework. "I... can't say I don't mind, but most people've had a long time pokin' about the place before I woke up. You can too, if ya want."

    There was a peculiar sort of fear that came with offering someone who already knew her so well deeper insight, but... it wasn't fair that others would have seen and he didn't, because he was respecting her privacy.

    Who knew, it might even be good for them? When it came down to it, Rogue wasn't afraid of him.
    complicatedliar: (Default)

    [personal profile] complicatedliar 2015-11-01 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
    Loki began to stand, then relaxed back down into the chair. "Do you truly wish it?" he asked. "Because most have treated you in such a fashion does not mean it is right for your lover to follow suit."

    She was more important to him than to any of them, he'd wager.
    touchofrogue: (And the Fire Said...)

    [personal profile] touchofrogue 2015-11-01 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
    Rogue grew slightly behind the glass, tall enough now to lean her elbows on the edge of it and rest her chin in her hands. "Now I'm just kinda curious as ta what you'll pick."

    She smiled at him. "We could set a limit? Start with three? If it gets too weird, I'll tell ya to stop."
    complicatedliar: (Default)

    [personal profile] complicatedliar 2015-11-01 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
    "If that is what you truly wish," Loki said. "I have never been one to resist my curiosity without good reason." Like wanting to get laid ever again, for example.

    He rose to his feet. Of course what he found most curious on first glance was the broken mirror. It was something that resonated with him.
    touchofrogue: (And the Fire Said...)

    [personal profile] touchofrogue 2015-11-01 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
    "I'm really mostly just a tour guide, here." She paused a moment and considered. "A tour guide and a guardian. An' maybe a bit of a representation, I guess."

    A quiet, crackling laugh. "You're already inside of me, so go right ahead."

    He'd already seen more than enough that he could put together what he wanted, and she didn't currently see a reason to hide from him. That was not her current function. So she was not hiding, was not hiding =her purpose or even her perception. There wasn't room for anything false in the flame.

    As to what he would see in the mirror, besides the cracks and facets and shattered reflection of the candles and his face, well... that depended on where he would touch. Would he reach for a shard? Or a crack?
    complicatedliar: (Default)

    [personal profile] complicatedliar 2015-11-03 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
    Well, that was good enough permission for him, then. He was a curious creature, and the only reason he'd even given her that much care was because Rogue was in particular special to him. Anyone else? He wouldn't have bothered.

    It was one of the shards he reached for first, wanting to examine it, though careful to not cut himself.
    touchofrogue: (I'm Radioactive)

    [personal profile] touchofrogue 2015-11-04 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
    The room faded away, and for a moment, Loki was linked with the girl who stumbled into an alley, her sleeve torn off, one pale arm gleaming in the streetlight.

    [You are sitting with your back against the wall, breathless and trembling and so afraid and angry and scared, you didn't even know your body could hold this many feelings, this many voices...

    You hear someone approach from the alley, and suddenly there is no more confusion - only anger.]


    Abruptly, he was outside her body then - able to only watch as the confrontation with Mystique and Rogue played out. The scene would begin to fade after that, as Rogue assumed Sabertooth's form... though if he continued to hold on, he might make it to the rest of the night, right up until the time the professor began to deal with Rogue's psyches.

    Though Rogue's mind was too confused, too angry for any clear thoughts about this memory to remain, the feelings were there. The anger. The hurt. The betrayal. The... slowly seeping in bone deep gratitude and relief as at last Logan reached out to her.

    [personal profile] complicatedliar 2015-11-04 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
    Anger, he knows well. Hurt and fear and betrayal as well. It's odd, being in her head like this, disorienting, then experiencing it from the outside. Disorienting, but he had witnessed this sort of thing happen to her before.

    And obviously much more disorienting for her.

    His reaction was a sharp inhalation of breath and then a step back from the mirror.
    touchofrogue: (And the Fire Said...)

    [personal profile] touchofrogue 2015-11-04 01:20 pm (UTC)(link)
    Unbeknownst to Loki, a fresh piece for the puzzle has just appeared on the table behind him.

    "Ya alright?" the fire said quietly.

    [personal profile] complicatedliar 2015-11-06 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
    Oh, he'd notice as soon as he had a reason to glance that way. He had an eye for such things. "Yes," he said. "It's just a bit shocking to find yourself seeing from someone else's eyes so abruptly."

    But interesting. Very, very interesting.
    touchofrogue: (And the Fire Said...)

    [personal profile] touchofrogue 2015-11-06 02:39 pm (UTC)(link)
    A very quiet, wry laugh. "Tell me about it."

    Have you ever wondered what Rogue's powers felt like when she absorbed someone, Loki? Because that... that was very much like it.

    "I'm not sure which one ya saw unless I try," again, simple, almost tour-guidey. "I just know all the ones in the mirror are important."

    So he can try again... or move on. The guest's choice.
    complicatedliar: (reflections still look the same to me)

    [personal profile] complicatedliar 2015-11-20 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
    Obviously, she knew that far better than he. He simply chuckled, shaking his head.

    He considered the question, but even in such strange circumstances, he was bound by his promise of honesty. "An alleyway. A confrontation with... Mystique." He wasn't about to just call her your mother even if he knew the relationship. Of anyone, he knew how sensitive such things could be.
    touchofrogue: (And the Fire Said...)

    [personal profile] touchofrogue 2015-11-22 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
    "...oh." Well. Yeah. That was... that... "Guess I can see how that'd be real important, yeah."

    She sighed quietly, leaned against the glass that kept her from burning her own room down.

    "Don't think many of the memories in there are real happy."

    Of course, some of them probably were and she smiled a little at that thought. "Except for a few really good ones, maybe."
    complicatedliar: (Default)

    [personal profile] complicatedliar 2015-11-25 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
    "Important and pleasant are two very different things," he observed. They both knew that concept well.

    "That is the way of things, is it not? 'Tis the pain that carves us into our current form. We are cut like diamonds." What else could a silver-tongued person hope to say about that? Though he was curious, what good memories there might be.

    "I don't suppose there's a way to sort out one of the nicer ones."
    touchofrogue: (And the Fire Said...)

    [personal profile] touchofrogue 2015-11-26 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
    "Not in there, I don't think." Well. "Though... well. Maybe if I try while you try again? It could happen."

    She was trying to exert more control over her mind, after all.
