What's brought this on?
If you've suddenly remembered some awful thing you did in our youth, I accept donations to my bank account to ease your guilty conscience.

[fairhair]

I am attempting some sincerity, Loki, the least you can do is honour that.

[thecoolerloki]

This is my way of being sincere back. You should know that by now, yes?

I don't know what you could possibly have to apologize for, anyways.

[fairhair]

For my absence these last days. I am aware there's not much use I could have been, but I shouldn't think that excuses me.

[thecoolerloki]

Do you refer to your promise to my brother?
I've considered the oath meaningless since the day you swore it, so no harm done.

[fairhair]

We were once friends and may yet still be something like friends one day again. You will continue to vex me, I'm sure, but you are dear to Thor and so I would take it upon myself to keep you from harm regardless of oath. And with Lokis now seemingly in abundance, I find myself more endeared towards the ones I am more familiar with.

[thecoolerloki]

Perhaps then, you'd like to apologize for what you said to your other friends when outside of Thor's earshot.

[fairhair]

You would only find it disingenuous.

[thecoolerloki]

I care little what you think of me, Fandral. But should you ever doubt Thor again, I will haunt you.

I can no longer take care of him, so I need to know that he will have his friends at his side, no matter what future lapses in judgment he might have.

[fairhair]

Am I now to swear an oath to Loki?

You know that whatever disagreements I have with Thor, I will come back to his side.

[thecoolerloki]

I believe the proper phrasing is "dying wish" rather than "oath" in this case.

I worry for him, is all.

[fairhair]

Then let ya hope he doesn’t find himself in to much trouble before I can return to him.

[thecoolerloki]

He's Thor. He'll find himself in whatever last bit of trouble the Ten Realms has to offer.

[fairhair]

Truly one of his more admirable qualities.

[thecoolerloki]

Thank you for checking in on me, BTW.

Dying is a very tiring ordeal, it turns out.

[fairhair]

I am glad you seem well recovered. Sincerely.

What is BTW

[thecoolerloki]

It's short for By The Way :)
Modern Midgardians love shorthand in digital communication, so it would be for the best if you took it upon yourself to learn it.

[Niceness out of the way,]

I guess we've learned Allspeak isn't a cure for old age though :3c

[fairhair]

Jest all you want, but I have seen how Loki ages and I can take solace in the knowledge that time is much kinder to me, even if it's another Loki and not you that will have to suffer it.

[thecoolerloki]

LOL no arguments there, the old man was almost as ugly as Laufey. It's part of why I was so afraid of growing older.
