[worldsaway]

He knows it's not what I want, but I told him that he should pursue it, find a home and be happy.

[Thor isn't sure how much he should say. He knows Taako reasonably well, but he knows Loki is very close to him. He's not sure he would appreciate being spoken about, but maybe it will help him.

In a small, guilty way, Thor almost hopes Taako will help Loki stay. Not that it matters.]

I told him that he means everything to me, no matter where he is, but that he doesn't have to be with me.

[spellslots]

[Most people don't like being talked about, especially people like Loki (and Taako) who try to keep everything neatly hidden away, but he feels like this is important.]

You can tell you're the eldest.

[He means that as a compliment.]

[worldsaway]

Because I'm resigned to his behavior by now?

[Thor folds his arms over his chest and leans back on the bench.]

[spellslots]

[He throws a bit of dough at Thor.]

Not what I meant and you know it.

[worldsaway]

[Thor flinches when it hits him, then he crinkles his nose as he wipes it off.]

What did you mean, then?

[spellslots]

You're putting him first, over what you want.

[Taako's not sure he could do it, if he could let Lup go, and he's grateful he'll never need to find out.]

[worldsaway]

As opposed to holding him hostage and forcing him to stay with me forever and ever?

[spellslots]

[Thor gets a look for being difficult.]

As opposed to asking him to stick with you.

[Because they both know that Loki probably would, if Thor asked.]

[worldsaway]

I know better than to set myself up for disappointment. If Loki wanted to be with me, he'd stay, but we're beyond that now.

[Thor shrugs.] If he can be happy anywhere, it's a win. Maybe that is maturity speaking. I think it might be more akin to setting realistic goals.

[spellslots]

[He has a feeling they're reaching the end of this discussion, so he picks up on a less serious point.]

And how many centuries did it take you to get that maturity?

[worldsaway]

Centuries? Ten- fifteen, maybe? [Thor needs to think about that one.]

It only really kicked in after I got banished.

[spellslots]

[He knows he started this, but fifteen is a big number.]

I always fucking forget how old you are, it's wild.

[Taako's got a few centuries under his belt, but that's nothing compared to how long the Asgardians have been around.]

[worldsaway]

I'm not old, I'm not even middle aged. [Thor defends.]

I prefer the term long-lived.

[spellslots]

Fair point. [Taako laughs, holding up a hand in concession.] I know that shit is relative, I'm still pretty young for an elf, but like, I can't imagine living that long, eight hundred is about our limit.

[worldsaway]

You get used to it, but then, I didn't really interact with mortals until recently. I didn't really leave Asgard much at all, unless it was to go fighting across the realms.

[Thor pauses to think.] Do you ever think about the fact that Loki is old enough to be your father?

[spellslots]

[Wait a second.]

Are you trying to make it weird?

[What he's asking without asking is does Thor actually know that Taako's had a big old crush on Loki since day one. Because - that's a little embarrassing?]

[worldsaway]

How am I making it weird?

[Thor has suspicions, and he's curious, but he gets what he wants by acting dense.]

[spellslots]

[As if Taako doesn't know that trick! He eyes Thor suspiciously.]

Why'd you use Loki as the example there and not yourself?

[worldsaway]

Because Loki is younger than me and still older than you.

[Duh.]

[spellslots]

[There are two ways he could go with this, but if Thor is being a shit, Taako wants to get some kinda revenge.

So, mildly:]

Well, if he wants me to call him daddy, he's gonna have to ask me himself.

[worldsaway]

I'll thank you to never use that word again. [Darkly. But like, in a fun way.]

[spellslots]

What word? [Feigning innocence, as he takes step closer towards Thor, he even bites his lip briefly.] Daddy?

[This isn't A Thing for him but he's listened to enough Lana Del Rey to know it's supposed to sound soft and a little husky.]

[worldsaway]

Save it for Loki. [Wait.] Somehow I made it worse.

[spellslots]

So he's into that kinda thing?

[He's going to make it even more worse!]

[worldsaway]

I don't pretend to know what he's into anymore, but it wouldn't surprise me.
