here's the main event info post for reference! have fun!]

[There's a part of him that's always surprised to hear he has any good qualities at all. So he offers Leto an ironic little bow.]

One I have only because I am so determined to be contrary. [Asgard is not a place that encourages any sort of flexibility.

His lips quirk wryly.]

For all I enjoy numbering the faults of humans, I do owe them for one favor. Those in Luceti were the first I came to know who did not think I deserved to be shamed as a catamite.

Moving to different realities can . . . offer new perspectives.

[ It certainly did, on his part. ]

[He shrugs. In many ways, it's already to late for him in that regard.]

Travel broadens the mind, etcetera.

There is truth in it.

And all the best lies are truth turned ninety degrees.

What is it you seek, Leto?

[ His expression flickers. What was he seeking? Entertainment? A brief respite from the malaise that was eternal life and degradation of his humanity?

Another chance to pretend the noose is not around his neck? ]

Peace. I suppose.

You poor thing, as peace is a lie. [He leans his head to the side.] There is only this moment, and in it, us.

Then I do not know what I am seeking.

[He falls silent for a moment, idly brushing his knuckles against the tree bark again.]

To still the voice in your mind that tells you that the only truth is a lack of meaning.

To no longer feel a world that despises you consume you one red bite at a time.

For the pain to stop.

[ He glances at Loki, quiet. ]

The world is supposed to despise me. That was part of the bargain.

I once bargained my own skin for good reason. That did not mean I screamed the less when they flayed it from me.

True.

But I will not balk at it.

Scream, Leto. You can still scream.

And for you, I shall not laugh.

[ He shakes his head, stubborn. ]

I cannot. I can't do it.

Rather let it fester in to poison. As you like.

[His teeth flash in a grin.] Poison is a very useful weapon, after all. It slays beggars and kings alike.

[ A little sharp. ]

Then I can only hope it does a good job.

It would depend on whom you're looking to kill.

Who do you think?

[He exhales a little sigh.]

Yourself, of course.

[ He nods. He feels very tired. Tired of explaining this, tired of the grief that follows. ]

[This time, because it is not for his own weakness, he offers Leto his hand again, another invitation.]

[ He takes it because he has made a vow. He doesn't meet Loki's eyes though. ]

[Loki tugs Leto closer, enough that he can lean to rest their foreheads lightly together. His other hand comes up to slide through Leto's hair.]

[ He shudders, closing his eyes. He knows what Loki was trying to do and he should push him away. This was against his choice, against his path. What good would it do him or humanity to falter?

But Ruby taught him that life was more than a single choice and future. ]

[Loki closes his eyes as well, tasting Leto's breath. He brushes his thumb through the man's hair.]

You are a beautiful fool. [He breathes it out like a sigh, like a secret shared with a lover.]
