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

I think it'd be great fun.

[deemed]

Would it now?

[ thor's not against the idea by any means ]

[thecoolerloki]

It would! You'd certainly be my brother then.

[deemed]

No matter my size, I am your brother.

[thecoolerloki]

But you would be a way more fun brother if we were the same size.

[deemed]

[ thor doesn't answer that right away, because he's had time to look back on reflect on whether he had been a fun brother ]

I don't believe we've ever been the same size. I recall you were always much scrawnier.

[ he's teasing ]

[thecoolerloki]

You should be careful. I might actually cast this spell and make you the scrawny one.

[deemed]

I believe the last time you tried that it did not go so well.

[ as with everything to do with the past and their childhood, the memory is hazy. it might have happened, it might just have been one of the stories told about them. ]

[thecoolerloki]

Then I'll ask Stephen to cast it.

I think you're afraid, Thor. Afraid that everyone at school will like me better than you!

[deemed]

If a spell is to be cast, I will do the asking. One needs time to adjust to the idea of having to live in your shadow.

[thecoolerloki]

I was never given any time. And I had a much larger shadow to contend with.

[Not Thor's, for once, but his past self's.]

[deemed]

[ with an attempt at gentleness which-- doesn't come as easily as thor would like. ]

And so you understand, better than others might, the need for it.

[thecoolerloki]

I understand, better than others might, how hilarious it would be if suddenly everyone treated you like a child too, especially if your mind remained that of an adult.

[deemed]

Remind me to tell Strange we need to encourage greater empathy in you.

[ but he sounds amused again ]

[thecoolerloki]

He's a doctor, not a miracle worker.

[deemed]

There's small enough difference between the two, sometimes.

[thecoolerloki]

BTW, I bought him a chicken. I left it in his room as a surprise.

[deemed]

A chicken is the sort of thing that requires discussion ahead of time, brother.

[thecoolerloki]

And it seems there was a good deal of discussion, yes? A popular conversation topic with you two.
