[things get wobbly with thor. there's love, hurt, devotion, angst, and a general sense of instability that drags the relationship here and there in any given moment. but this? jude helping to carry his weight and tapping him, in a way his mind can't help but decide is "friendly," against his slightly bruised ribs?
this he understands. it isn't quite something to name, but it sits well in his bones, more than enough to etch his crooked version of a smile solidly in place.]
Not to be dramatic, [or, in a very real way, almost entirely but not solely to be dramatic,] but I expect I should entirely perish if he got his hooks in you.
[loki has so few things that are properly his own (at least, of his own reckoning). this, nameless, was a fairly prized bullet on his dismally short list. in moments of pique (and blood loss), certainly something worth asserting a jealous guard over.]
Although not so much for your sister. Who would win, would you wager, in a courtship between them?
[is courtship a battle? loki couldn't say, but it's always appeared to be, from a distance.]
