[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.]

Re: [ wilderness ]

[precedented]

Someone has to be.

[ Someone had to accept the agony, his sister's voice drifts over him. He misses her intensely all of the sudden. Ghanima could make sense of him right now. Would fix his dilemma. ]

Re: [ wilderness ]

[complicatedliar]

Shhh. There are many fools.

[He continues to stroke Leto's hair with his thumb. His other hand, he curls almost protectively around Leto's fingers.

He remembers, now and again, what it was like for a different him to be interested in protecting others. Even if in small ways.]

Re: [ wilderness ]

[precedented]

[ He sighs, letting himself relax. It was Loki. Leto could trust Loki. It didn't matter what he saw or heard. He presses his forehead closer, his palm resting against Loki's chest. ]

Re: [ wilderness ]

[complicatedliar]

[Loki covers Leto's hand with his own, lets one finger trace the line of tendon and bone idly. He wonders what the man might sense there; perhaps the icy blood that flows through him, the inhumanity of it. There are subtle differences, between hearts.

At any rate, he holds his tongue on any comforting lies that tradition might demand he offer. They are both past such childish, patronizing things.]

Re: [ wilderness ]

[precedented]

[ They're a juxtaposition. Leto is a desert creature. He is heat and sand, the whirlwind. He destroys everything in his path, to make way for the new. He holds no expectations, he has no rules. Loki was nothing like that, ice and poison. He holds power in his voice, a power that turns inward.

He did not expect them to collide in such a way. ]

Re: [ wilderness ]

[complicatedliar]

[The benefit of being fundamentally chaotic is the ability to surprise even people like Leto. Hel, Loki manages to surprise himself at times, though he does his best not to show it.

Of course, this has become something as inevitable as gravity in its own way. He moves his head to place a feather-light kiss on Leto's temple.]

Re: [ wilderness ]

[precedented]

[ He huffs, a small laugh. ]

Are you trying to bless me?

Re: [ wilderness ]

[complicatedliar]

[He chuckles, very softly.]

And if I were?

Or would you rather I kiss you elsewhere?

Re: [ wilderness ]

[precedented]

Best not tempt fate.

[ But he leans to kiss Loki lightly on the lips, the gift of thanks. ]

Re: [ wilderness ]

[complicatedliar]

[Loki slides his hand forward to cradle Leto's cheek and kisses him a a bit more firmly in return, though goes no further than that.]

Some day I shall tempt fate from its burrow, so that I might kill and eat it.

Re: [ wilderness ]

[precedented]

[ He pulls away gently. ]

I shall be waiting for that day.

Re: [ wilderness ]

[complicatedliar]

[Loki lets him go. Probably a miscalculation on his part, to have gone even that far, but he's also not going to second guess himself too heavily where Leto is involved. The element of chaos is all he has.

But he does indulge himself in letting his hand linger just a bit longer on Leto's cheek.]

I am here to do the filthiest of all work.

Re: [ wilderness ]

[precedented]

What is filthy can be beautiful.

[ Like sharing a little joke. He cocks his head at Loki. ]

Re: [ wilderness ]

[complicatedliar]

To those with eyes to see it.

[But he does smile for that, because it is funny.]

Re: [ wilderness ]

[precedented]

It is enough for those who can.

Re: [ wilderness ]

[complicatedliar]

[Foolish, but he can't help but trace the line of Leto's cheek with light fingers at that.]

Is that what you see?

Re: [ wilderness ]

[precedented]

[ He leans into the touch. ]

Part of it. What I see is endless.

Re: [ wilderness ]

[complicatedliar]

[Loki treasures that little movement. It's still a rare thing for him.]

The infinite comes in different sizes. [Did Leto see this? He thinks not all of it. He's still managed to surprise or annoy him a bit at times. He reads him keenly.]

Re: [ wilderness ]

[precedented]

It varies. Sometimes the path is narrow or it is wide. Ultimately, we all go through the crucible.

Re: [ wilderness ]

[complicatedliar]

It's a mathematical truth, like all the best sorts of truth. [The only ones he really likes, when he comes to it. Though there's still an art to breaking those truths in a useful way.]

Re: [ wilderness ]

[precedented]

[ He chuckles. ]

Never have I heard a term such as "best" for a truth.

Re: [ wilderness ]

[complicatedliar]

If you think there is only one grade of truth, that might be much of your troubles there.

Re: [ wilderness ]

[precedented]

Grade sounds far too much of schools and rules and things I never had much patience for.

Re: [ wilderness ]

[complicatedliar]

However you like to call your hierarchies of truth.

Rules were made to be broken. But schools have their uses... at times.
