[dothelokimotion]

[ loki frowns. ]

None of those appeal to me. I have done plenty of that sort of activity in my youth.

[brooklyn_boy]

[No wonder he's bored.]

What about shopping? There are knives around.

[dothelokimotion]

[ dryly. ]

I have other interests than knives.

[brooklyn_boy]

[Smiling.]

Blue aliens? The color black? Thor?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki flinches at the mention of blue aliens, closing his mouth abruptly. ]

I don't wear black that frequently.

[brooklyn_boy]

[Steve sees the flinch and winces himself. Idiot.]

I meant Stitch. Not...

[dothelokimotion]

Not me? Or my kind? The monsters that apparently the Fleet is hunting down below?

[ he smiles wanly. ]

Don't take it to heart. I know what you meant, Steve.

[brooklyn_boy]

[Steve's face goes tight.]

Don't do that.

[dothelokimotion]

Do what, precisely?

[brooklyn_boy]

Call yourself a monster and then wave it off like a joke.

[He frowns and moves in a step closer to lower his voice.]

People can surprise you if you let them.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he chuckles. ]

You worry too much. No one is calling me a monster. I'm well aware of that.

[brooklyn_boy]

No one except you.

[Still he falls back with a shrug.]

I worry about my friends. Not gonna change. Sorry, pal.

[dothelokimotion]

[ that's what you get when a culture calls your kind monsters while you were growing up! ]

It's not much of a concern of mine anymore.

[brooklyn_boy]

[He makes a face but lets it go.]

Whatever you say, Loki.

[dothelokimotion]

[ it's true. to some degree, loki has accepted himself. though where he'll take it, no one knows yet. ]

I believe I dod.

[brooklyn_boy]

[He nudges his shoulder into Loki's]

So you're here doing nothing for the whole month? Sounds boring.

[dothelokimotion]

[ a light shrug. ]

I can find ways to entertain myself. You need not concern yourself over it.

[brooklyn_boy]

[He rolls his eyes and moves to grip Loki's shoulders.]

Loki. Bud. I'm not concerned. I'm your friend and I wanna make sure you're not just sulking around when you could be having a fun.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki blinks, surprised. ]

I'm not sulking.

[brooklyn_boy]

What do you call it, then?

[dothelokimotion]

[ he frowns. ]

I don't know. What does it matter if I keep to myself?

[brooklyn_boy]

Does it make you happy? Being alone?

[dothelokimotion]

[ his frown deepens. ]

It does not make me unhappy. I won't deny that I enjoy it all the time, but I am . . . picky when it comes to company.

[brooklyn_boy]

I'm touched.

[He drops his hands and reconsiders.]

Was there anything here you wanted to do?

[dothelokimotion]

Not particularly. As I said, the planet does not appeal to me much.
