[dothelokimotion]

Who: Loki + Bucky
Broadcast: No
Action: The Iskaulit Gym
When: Now!

[ loki hadn't sparred in a while. at least not with the people here. too breakable, too weak. and while thor was strong enough, their styles weren't well suited for each other. loki, who preferred striking from a distance while thor preferred to smash things with a hammer.

so he finds himself waiting eagerly, idly twirling the knives in his hands as he waits. ]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki cocks his head. he doesn't seem surprised or shocked by that statement, merely absorbing it thoughtfully. his hand does not twitch. ]

But you are no longer seeking oblivion.

[ just like loki. he too stopped seeking for an end, no matter how many ends find him. ]

It is a hard life but you have taken ownership of the hardness.

[sinistral]

Mmmm...

[It's not entirely accurate, he thinks, but it's not entirely inaccurate either. Loki does make him think, which has been both helpful and frustrating in turn.]

As I hope you'll own your goodness.

[The conversation that had prompted their meeting here is still fresh in his mind. But that's all he'll say about it, instead taking a sudden movement to surge up and attempt to throw Loki off and reverse their positions.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki does laugh, a bright bubble that bursts from his chest as he's flat on the ground. he still tries to swipe his knife upwards, but he doubts it'll get far. ]

Is this a fight for ownership then?

[sinistral]

Do you want it to be?

[They hadn't really set any sort of a goal for the spar, but he supposes it doesn't truly matter. What's more important is how much fun it is to be able to finally let go, catching Loki's wrist with his left hand and trying to press it into the floor.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki hums, tension still coiled in his muscles, waiting to spring, giving him a sharp grin. ]

I haven't decided yet.

[sinistral]

Let me know when you do.

[Until then it's attempting to keep Loki pinned to the floor, hands on both of his wrists.]

[dothelokimotion]

Oh, most certainly.

[ with that, loki swings his leg upward to jostle bucky's hold on him. ]

[sinistral]

[It definitely does jostle his balance, and cuts off any reply he'd been about to make. Not that he really minds; they're here to spar after all, and he tries to compensate for that wobble by getting a forearm across Loki's throat, but he might not be quick enough.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki grabs that forearm, pulling it back before he reaches out with his other hand for bucky's neck, forcing bucky backwards. ]

[sinistral]

[Now they're just rolling around on the floor together what is this even. No one better tell Steve.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki certainly isn't going to tell him, but eventually loki holds up a hand, wiping his brow. he doesn't sweat often, his internal body temperature keeping him cool at all times. ]

I think that'll suffice for today.

[sinistral]

[At least they can agree on the not telling part. That's part of what he likes about encounters with Loki though; the other man seems as private a person as he, and there's a comfort in knowing the times they spend together, the conversations they have, are not to be shared with others.

He's grinning and breathing heavily himself when Loki calls the truce; it's been more of a workout than he'd anticipated, and he's glad of it.]

For today maybe. But I think I'd like to do this again.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he stares at that smile, before he does the smile, tentative but bright around the edges. ]

Then we shall.

[sinistral]

You know how to find me.

[He rolls smoothly to his feet after another moment, and offers a hand up to Loki.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki takes it gratefully, rising to his feet. ]

I do.
