[counterstep]

( likely not in loki's book still, yet still— )

of?

[bornofthedarkness]

The worth that comes from your opinions of me.

[counterstep]

having the support of a warden affords privilege
even an ally in the right light

i don't make my decisions based on the opinions of others
what's fair or right is grey

[bornofthedarkness]

( Hm. Well played. ) What do you know of Asgard?

[counterstep]

just the midgardian myths, as loki calls them
mostly the bullshit about how they're the heroes

odin's painted picture where he's a victim rather than a perpetrator

( even in the human myths, loki was a victim of odin's hubris. oddly parallel, even if the truth for the loki bucky knows differs greatly. )

[bornofthedarkness]

Such traits are not exclusive to Odin. Their kind practically birthed from the blood of war. ( Poetic, he realizes, but you know how myths are. Shit is weird. )

[counterstep]

i understand you're from one of the other realms, right?
they said he brought peace to the realms
but starting war is the furthest thing from peace

[bornofthedarkness]

It can be believed as peace when you've oppressed enough people into submission.

[counterstep]

the people of your realm too then
why?

[bornofthedarkness]

Do I look Asgardian to you?

[counterstep]

racism, then?

[bornofthedarkness]

( Let's revisit something: ) You understand I am of another realm but this is not precise, we are from a universe before. Odin carries the weight of his father's sins and follows, from what little I've seen, close to his footsteps. What fresh sins and illusions of superiority he creates for himself is not known to me but I imagine it not far from his predecessor.

[counterstep]

so a cycle of destruction, then?
for what reason?
these things don't happen without a reason

[bornofthedarkness]

A question for them.

[counterstep]

i don't think loki knows

what's your best guess?

[bornofthedarkness]

Power, of course.

( Oh, speaking of Loki: ) Have you wondered what inspired such a man to return home with them the child of an enemy?

[counterstep]

( not knowing of the frost giants, only scandinavian naming culture, bucky hasn't knowledge of laufey being an enemy or that loki was taken in by means other than adoption. )

wait
what?
he took someone's kid?

[bornofthedarkness]

Of course. Whether it was something Laufey cared about is undetermined but the rivalry between Jotun and Asgardian is lengthy, I doubt it was arranged.

[counterstep]

loki isn't asgardian?
jotun
that's

( shit, he can't remember all the other realms. he read the story so long ago. )

which realm is that?

[bornofthedarkness]

Jotunheim.

[counterstep]

( he scours his brain. thinks to check the library real quick, in case there are resources. doesn't. )

giants?

[bornofthedarkness]

Correct.

[counterstep]

loki isn't a giant though
so he can't be jotun

[bornofthedarkness]

Certainly not by height he isn't. ( Ahahaha. Anyway: ) You're right, by all accounts he is Asgardian isn't he?

[counterstep]

how is he jotun?
is he really laufey's kid?
