(no subject)

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?

[A small hand gesture, another sort of, as you will. He's not arguing Jotun semantics with Leto.]

The world I see is not the one most others do, and certainly not them. It was something Frigga knew. [Because Frigga had seen the world in a very similar way, through the lens of magic.]

Better than I knew.

[Because this is something one never knows, until it is too late. His last words to her still haunt him. And he knows that no amount of blood let in vengeance will ever change that.]

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2016-04-21 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
That I did.

[He considers for a moment, eyes still closed.] She would have liked you, I think.

Though thought you a bit silly.

[She'd accused Loki of being silly at times.]

Really, is that the sort of magic you practice?

[Delivered so mildly. Not from what he's observed. He's never seen Leto take such a direct control over physical reality, but perhaps the man just hasn't wished to do so.]

She was very kind, always. The goddess of hearth and home.

[He smiles.]

And oh, but she was fierce to those who crossed her hospitality.

I see the world outside of myself differently, rather than the world within my skin. [It isn't something that can be described, only experienced.]
complicatedliar: (itching at an old wound)

[ action ]

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2016-04-21 08:33 am (UTC)(link)
The world you define seems enough to die for. [A little, throw-away hand gesture.

He finds it so odd, Leto's remarks about skin, when he hates his own skin so very keenly at times.]


Magics are the greatest part of me. [Before the tricks, before the lies, there was always magic.]
complicatedliar: (head tilt)

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2016-04-22 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm. We could have that argument again, but I find myself disinclined today. I'd hate to wear it out so quickly.

[Crucial? Now that is an odd thought indeed. He's always in his own mind been the pewling runt, fighting tooth and nail to keep from being eradicated by a universe that hates his very existence. The opposite of being crucial, really.]

Ah.

I'd have to see the weave of such fabric and see if it suits first.

The sound of rules shattering is ever music to my ears.

The thought of being so crucial... perhaps less so, for I am a feckless thing. [He grins. Oh, but he does thirst for... not so much importance, as validation. Power.] Though if there were not magic in the universe, it would be a colorless place indeed.

Oh Leto. If only you could see through my eyes, you might understand.

I lived for a time with all the magic torn from my blood. And I lived for another time with my eyes blinded. Given the choice, I would take the latter.

'twould benefit you to see differently.

Looking at things sideways tends to be enlightening.

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2016-04-24 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps some day I shall trust you enough to lend you my eyes.

[Likely not. That would require the level of trust he gave only to Frigga, and then only too late.

Trust he'd offered to Rogue once, come to think of it. So perhaps not as impossible as it could be.]

Beautiful fool.

[Speak to him so sweetly, Leto, and you will turn his head.]

[He considers for a moment, then holds out his hand to Leto. It may be the time for some small measure of truth.]
