Who: Leto + You
Broadcast: Video
Action: N/A
When:

[ The video flickers on to Leto sitting on his bed, kicking his legs briefly. He grins when the video starts recording, pushing himself onto his feet. He tilts his head, that odd bird-like movement he often exhibits. ]

I have heard some interesting things of late, so I thought I'd put the question to you all. When you fall in love, can you only love one person? Can you fall in love with multiple people? Is love something you find yourself stopping after just one?

[ And it is a war Loki will never end. ]

I know better than to ask.

[ action ]

[complicatedliar]

That would be a first. [Snort.]

Re: [ action ]

[precedented]

[ His lips twitch, despite himself. ]

Knowing and acting on it can be contradictory. If I acted on all that I knew, there would be nothing left to do.

[ action ]

[complicatedliar]

Yet in this case you do, as you know better than to ask, so do not. [Shrug.]

Re: [ action ]

[precedented]

If I do not ask, who will?

Will you remain quiet until the end of days?

[ action ]

[complicatedliar]

No one, I suspect.

Have you known me to be silent at all?

[It depends on how one defines silence. Another of his contradictions, he supposes. He can talk all day and say nothing at all.]

Re: [ action ]

[precedented]

[ Leto gives him a dry look. ]

You are silent on what matters, and you are skilled in the art of deflection.

[ action ]

[complicatedliar]

[A brief grin.]

Does anything matter at all?

[It all matters so much, and not in the slightest. Holding conflicting viewpoints is an art.

But yes, he is very good at deflecting.]

Re: [ action ]

[precedented]

Yes, Loki. It matters.

[ action ]

[complicatedliar]

[Though the question is more if anything matters to Loki. Some days more than others.]

And that is why you've still a heart left to be broken.

Re: [ action ]

[precedented]

[ He laughs. ]

It is the day I die. What do I care if my heart is broken then?

[ action ]

[complicatedliar]

Perhaps if you were wise enough to have no heart, you'd manage to survive. [Snort.]

Re: [ action ]

[precedented]

[ He laughs. ]

Survival is not my business and I can do that easily enough. More easily than anyone else here. You survive to spite those who said you cannot. But are you surviving or living?

Re: [ action ]

[complicatedliar]

[He laughs softly.]

I am biding my time. Perhaps I shall eat death's heart.

Re: [ action ]

[precedented]

[ Leto stays quiet at that, an odd, telling silence. For Leto, when all time is open, all deaths are open too. The where or when rarely matters when he can see it all. ]

Perhaps.

[ action ]

[complicatedliar]

[Sidelong look.]

How shall I die this time?

Re: [ action ]

[precedented]

[ He counters fluidly, with a smile. ]

Are you not already dead?

[ action ]

[complicatedliar]

[Loki simply spreads his hands as if to say, What would you have of me?]

Re: [ action ]

[precedented]

[ Leto shrugs. ]

Best not to ask me questions I will not answer.

[ action ]

[complicatedliar]

That would be very boring.

Re: [ action ]

[precedented]

Ah, but it does save on time.

[ action ]

[complicatedliar]

Time is one thing I do not lack.

Re: [ action ]

[precedented]

Are you sure?

[ When others talk about time, it only serves to depress him. ]

Re: [ action ]

[complicatedliar]

[Amused:] Oh dear, so I'll be dying soon, shall I?

Re: [ action ]

[precedented]

[ He rolls his eyes, faintly annoyed. ]

For a God, you have a very provincial view of time.
