[dothelokimotion]

Who: Loki + You
Broadcast: Yes!
Action: SS First Breath
When: Right now!

( feed: action )

[ the feed turns on and you're not sure why. all is quiet on the ship front. there doesn't seem to be much activity on the first breath, even this late. all is silent. until you hear a crackle. suddenly ice speeds its way over the walls, ceilings and floors of the ship, instantly freezing everything along its path. everything is coated in silvery, sharp ice, cold to the touch.

and for a moment, a shrill scream echoes throughout the ship before going quiet with the feed. ]

( much later: video )

[ loki turns the feed on. he looks queasy and ready to drop off right then and there, but he clears his throat, coughing as it hurts. ]

My apologies. It seems I lost control of my magic. I will immediately see to any repairs. But perhaps people coming by should mind their step in the meantime.

[ he looks like he has more to say, but he ducks his head, turning off the feed. ]

[In another time and place, Thor might have been too. Gladness has fled from his heart though, chased out by death and loneliness and horror. If it is to come creeping back it hasn't made it yet, too soon after everything has happened to return to him. It's a wounded, hiding thing.

He feels Loki's head drop onto his shoulder and is only grateful that he won't have cause to see the dampness on his cheeks again. He tips his own head sideways to press his cheek into Loki's hair.

He says nothing.]

[ it's hard not to find that disquieting. thor has never been one for silence and even though it's not a pointed one at loki, it's hard to shake off the concern that was starting to bleed through, even though loki is not in the best shape to deliver it. but he curls his arms around thor gently, keeping him there. ]

And I'm . . . I'm here.

[If it were anyone else, Thor would be aiming to fill that silence, fumbling though the attempt would be. With Loki though, he just doesn't have the will to find his optimism. Not today.

There's an undeniable ache at Loki's words, ones that always ring close to his heart. Thor's weak to it.]

Yeah. I know.

[In this life outside of life, Loki's here. Thor would be a liar if he ever claimed it wasn't a relief he sorely needed. He circles his arm around Loki's shoulders and breathes out, allowing himself to take refuge in the knowledge.]
