I haven't forgotten. How could I?

[ He places his hand on top of Loki's ]

She wishes to meet you. Since you have had such a good influence on me whilst she has been... away.
precedented: (Any road followed precisely to its end)

[personal profile] precedented 2016-07-04 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ That surprises him. ]

Is that wise?
complicatedliar: (totally not up to something)

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2016-07-04 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
Am I not the god of good life choices?

[Really, Leto.]

I cannot say it thrills me, to so have a part of my life that is yours to crush if you wish. But it is no different now than it was five minutes ago. [Since this entire odd friendship--yes, we're still mentally calling it that, for plausible deniability--began, he's been well aware that Leto could bring him no end of grief if he chose to do so. It's been a rather disquieting factor, but oddly compelling as well, since he would wager Leto needs him as much as he needs Leto.]

I think you clever enough to avoid one person with an entire moon or the entire fleet at your disposal, should you wish it.

[ He winces. Messing with people's love lives was not something Leto took pleasure in. Normally, it wasn't an issue. He was the secondary love, the dirty secret. He never minded that. But monogamy apparently brings its own issues. ]

I could not do that to her.
complicatedliar: (well all right then)

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2016-07-04 07:50 am (UTC)(link)
I am glad for her sake, though I wonder now what you could do to me with a song in your heart.

Don't let your imagination run wild with you. There is always the possibility, but it does not mean it treads upon reality.
complicatedliar: (all according to plan)

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2016-07-04 08:04 am (UTC)(link)
My imagination but balances any lacking in yours.

At any rate, I have passed her wishes on to you.
precedented: (And when it has gone past)

[personal profile] precedented 2016-07-04 08:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ His lips twitch. ] And mine is hideously lacking.

If that is her wish, I shall accommodate.
complicatedliar: (giggley)

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2016-07-04 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps your destiny is to bring out the best in others.

[He's... really not sure how he feels about that. On one hand? Trying to explain to Rogue why Leto is mysteriously never available will begin to look like avoidance after not too long a while. On the other, Leto can destroy him and Rogue with a few words--though of course then their own friendship would take an orthogonal course into revenge, and Leto is wise enough to know that as well.

Though he does wonder if Leto's death wish has much of an opinion on this matter. He huffs a laugh.]


Perhaps I shall tell her Leto is the name of my imaginary friend. [He can't, without violating the most important promise he's ever made. So he shall see how this plays out.]
precedented: (Parting with friends is a sadness)

[personal profile] precedented 2016-07-04 08:22 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure any imaginary character you devise would be richer in character and backstory.

[ It feels dangerously close to lying, something Leto has never enjoyed. Though he could do it easily enough. He sighs. ]

I will not tell her anything.
complicatedliar: (concerned)

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2016-07-04 08:33 am (UTC)(link)
Somehow I doubt that. You know how I see you.

[Leto has made no promise of honesty to Rogue. The idea doesn't really bother him, in that regard. And he has still not yet crossed that line in a way he cannot mentally get around. There is nothing to hide, when viewed from that angle.]

Have you regrets, now?
precedented: (A fools wrath is heavier)

[personal profile] precedented 2016-07-04 08:37 am (UTC)(link)
No, Loki. At least none which are mine. I worry about you and her. Who else?
complicatedliar: (wings)

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2016-07-05 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
It is a curious thing for you to worry about. But I am... glad for your concern for her. I do ill at caring for others. [It either was never in his nature to begin with, or he's lost the knack of it somewhere along the way.]
precedented: (A place is a place)

[ He shakes his head. He knows that and he's not bothered by that knowledge. But Leto is always conscious of time and the narrowing paths. ]

Time hides nothing from me.
complicatedliar: (grin and a sideways look)

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2016-07-06 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
That, I no longer quite believe.
complicatedliar: (no light)

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2016-07-06 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
I have keen eyes.
precedented: (Do you wrestle with dreams?)

[personal profile] precedented 2016-07-06 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
So what do you see?
complicatedliar: (lost the right to hold that crown)

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2016-07-06 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
Shall I show you again?
precedented: (A million deaths were not enough)

[personal profile] precedented 2016-07-06 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ His smile is mysterious. ]

I don't think that's necessary.
complicatedliar: (I'm impressed)

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2016-07-07 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
You assume it is the same from moment to moment.
precedented: (And when it has gone past)

[personal profile] precedented 2016-07-07 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ He pauses, considering that. There was truth in that. ]

Then show me.
