Fair enough.

[He'll even try to stay on the topic at hand for now.]

How did you meet?
complicatedliar: (all according to plan)

[Action, March 26]

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2013-04-05 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
I see. So not exactly an ordinary meeting. And I imagine things simply proceeded from there?

We met upon my arrival here. She found me before I'd made my way into town. I suppose we got along all right until I told her my name, and then she wasn't terribly pleased. She rather disliked me, I think.

I'd gotten that impression. It was expected. [He shrugs.]

I thought she was at least interesting, as mortals went. But I've always rather liked women of her sort.

Not at all the stuff of romance. I had no desire to form any sort of attachments with anyone, let alone mortals. Quite the opposite, in fact. [He gives Billy a crooked smile.] How things change.

[He laughs.] There is prickly, and there is active dislike and distrust.

I suppose finding out that sort of commonality would form quite the connection.

I can only imagine, really.

[His smile goes wry. He doesn't really have an automatic in group or commonality like that. He never fit in to Asgard, and he certainly never could have found common ground to call upon with the Jotun.]

It doesn't sound terribly pleasant for you lot, from what the both of you have told me. And it is quite similar in that way.

I don't know anything of mutants in my world. No, I meant your worlds sound quite similar.

[He smiles crookedly.]

I wouldn't really draw a similarity with myself. While I have always been treated as if there is something terribly wrong with me, no one but that bastard Odin knew the cause of my supposed defect. [Which is both better and worse, in its own special and horrible ways.]

[Loki shrugs.] It is what it is.

[For his part, it would have been nice to not be so alone, and while Rogue has said there are some issues with other mutants, she's obviously found quite a bit of happiness being amongst them. On the other hand, from what he's seen of the Jotnar, he certainly never would have found any welcome there.

And glad of it.

A change of subject seems to be in order, and it's his turn to ask a question. It seems odd to be asking for things that seem so inconsequential, but he knows that they are actually quite important.]


What is it you like best about Teddy?

[Loki finds it very cute, really. Probably because he's rediscovered his own ability to be a bit goopy when no one's looking.

Though he doesn't necessarily understand the whole wanting to be a better person thing. Mostly, Loki just wants to be Loki and the problem is he's having a devil of a time figuring out just who that is.]

I am glad for you.

I... don't entirely know.

[Loki smiles sheepishly.]

I did not wish to give up. So I... played the long game. Though do not misunderstand me. I did not think it a game. But rather... I decided to approach the matter with patience.

And I refused to simply... go away. I offered myself to her time and again in the hopes that she would finally see something that she could like.

[He falls silent for a moment, mulling things over.]

I have never lied to her. And she knows that I have never lied to her. Even when I would have liked to.

[Loki shrugs, amused. He knows he's the God of Lies. He's made of lies, really.]

I suppose it shows I am trying, very hard.

[He falls silent for a moment before saying quietly:]

I want there to be one thing in the boundaries of my life that I know to be true and real.

[That's what the honesty had been for; he knows that if Rogue likes him, it's not simply because he's manipulated her in to doing so. And he knows his feelings for her, as strange and ill-defined as they might be, are true as well. They are not a story he's been raised to believe, a whisper in his ear, a voice in his mind. Their relationship is not a thing lied into being by anyone, not even himself.]

[Loki snorts quietly.]

Yes, well, I make a pig's ear of things anyway often enough.

[He smiles, about as goopy as he ever gets, himself.]

But it is real.
