Call/voice message whatever

[thecoolerloki]

Have you found a dwelling yet?

[deemed]

[ don't mind thor he's doing weights while talking to you ]

Not yet. I have my eye towards Central City, though.

[thecoolerloki]

Okay.

... I think I'll stay in Sunset Falls then.

[Which is the real purpose of this call, but easy enough to frame it as that he prefers one location over the other.]

[deemed]

[ ah. there's a pause as thors sets down the weight in his free hand

and then another pause, to get his voice under control. ]

If you wish to stay with Strange, you've only to say so. You are-- of an age to make such choices for yourself.

[thecoolerloki]

Am I? I'm not sure the All-Mother would agree with you.

[deemed]

Strange is responsible enough, for a mortal.

[thecoolerloki]

When I moved in with him, I only agreed under the circumstances that if you were to arrive, I would of course live with you instead.

[deemed]

Then you ought to speak with him again, and make your wishes known to avoid any misunderstanding.

[thecoolerloki]

He and I have spoken, we're very good about that sort of thing.

[deemed]

And if I ask him, he will agree?

[ there's no suspicion in his tone, but he knows his brother. ]

[thecoolerloki]

That depends, what do you plan on asking him?

[deemed]

That you have expressed your desire to continue staying with him, even though I am here, and that he has agreed to it. If you have not, my hotel room is spacious enough to host you until you have had such a conversation with him.

[ you can do it, loki. talk to people. ]

[thecoolerloki]

Aye, he'll agree with that.

[He's good at talking to people, just not Thor!]

Are you lonely, brother?

[deemed]

[ another pause, and he's surprised ]

What makes you ask?

[thecoolerloki]

I merely wondered if that's why you wish for us to live together.

[deemed]

If I feel the need for company there are many here I can call on. You are my brother, Loki. That is the reason why.

[ it's not the whole reason, of course not, but he's not sure he can articulate the tangle of feelings and reasonings that exist between them ]

[thecoolerloki]

Did you ask my elder self to live with you then?

[deemed]

Would that be a good idea, in your opinion?

[ that's a no ]

[thecoolerloki]

Of course not, but he's your actual brother.

[deemed]

And you are not?

[ there's an implication there that really hurts ]

[thecoolerloki]

I am as much your brother as the old man is. What that means is up to your interpretation.

[But this is getting a little heavy for a phone call so he adds,]

I still call you my brother despite you looking nothing like the boy I knew. You're far too tall and old and I remember him being much more annoying.

[deemed]

The height and age I cannot change overmuch. But I will work on the rest.

[ he can be annoying ok ]

[thecoolerloki]

I might be able to help with your appearance. Except then you'd have to come live with me and Stephen, and attend school with me as well.

[deemed]

Perhaps best to avoid that. I always was a terrible student.

[thecoolerloki]

I would help you, since not only am I the smartest brother, but the kindest as well.

I think it'd be great fun.
