i;; piracy

[postocular]

[ Normally he wouldn't condone piracy, but right now, whatever. Carl's feeling feisty. Then again, they definitely took a camp at gunpoint for their weapons. Nobody died, but that kind of made their group land pirates, right? Same difference. ]

I dunno. You could make them fashionable again? [ Says the boy whose wardrobe is at least 70% plaid.. ]

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki twirls the tiara absently. ]

That seems like a lost cause.

[postocular]

It's possible. Going to sell them? Somebody's bound to want it.

[dothelokimotion]

Possibly. Collecting trinkets is a bit much for the Fleet.

[ Loki doesn't want to make a life in this place. ]

[postocular]

That's what I thought, but you do it faster than you think.

[dothelokimotion]

[ He frowns. ]

I would still prefer not to.

[postocular]

No, I get it. You don't want to get attached.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki stiffens briefly. ]

Does anyone?

[postocular]

It's harder, but everyone needs people.

[dothelokimotion]

I rather not need people. It simply complicates everything.

[ Needing his family, their approval, had always made things worse for Loki. ]

[postocular]

Maybe it does, but when shit happens, who has your back?

[dothelokimotion]

Who would? Why would they?

[postocular]

Why wouldn't they, Loki? You're still a person. A pretty good one, from what I've seen.

[dothelokimotion]

[ ??? ]

I highly doubt that.

[postocular]

You know I've got your back..right?

[dothelokimotion]

You . . . have mentioned that before.

[postocular]

I'm serious, though. All you need to do is say the word and I'm there.

[dothelokimotion]

[ . . . ]

I will consider it.

[postocular]

Family isn't always blood. Comes in all different shapes.

[dothelokimotion]

I've never had any family of blood. So I wouldn't know the difference.

[ It all amounts to the same thing. To be discarded or used. ]

[postocular]

Honestly? Blood doesn't necessarily mean better. You could have parents or siblings by blood, but if they don't give a shit about you, then that just means you're tied to them.

You can make a family your own with people you choose.

[dothelokimotion]

I've had a family chosen and a family of blood.

Neither wanted me. What difference would it make if I did the choosing?

[postocular]

Because they're people you want in your life that want you back.

[dothelokimotion]

[ You drive me mad sometimes brother, but I've always wanted you around. I still do. Thor had said that, not long ago. Thor was the only one left, all that Loki has. ]

Perhaps those people exist.

[postocular]

They do. Sometimes it just takes a while to find.
