[fiercestwarrior]

And a drow is a dark elf?

[spellslots]

Yup, but from a world like mine. So, uh, my kinda elf, not yours.

[Not some kinda weird alien elves.

Taako shrugs]

I mean, listen, I've probably got a little drow in me, or moon elf, but that shit never really mattered to me.

[fiercestwarrior]

Then I see no reason for hostility. Unless he hurts you, of course.

[spellslots]

[That makes him feel better, and Taako's smile is warm even as he reaches across the table to pat Sif's hand.]

Oh, darling, no one hurts Taako.

[When it comes to relationships, that kind of hurt would require him to give a part of himself that he's not even sure exists, some days.]

You don't have to worry about that.

[fiercestwarrior]

[ Sif uses her free hand to pat Taako's in return. ]

Good. Gutting people is messy.

[spellslots]

Not at the table.

[He's just joking, they can always talk about disembowling someone at the table.]

You would have to get into line, though. Lup's never had the chance to beat up a boyfriend of mine before.

[because of that whole not letting people hurt him thing.]

[fiercestwarrior]

Of course. A sister's right comes first.

Have you only had very well-behaved lovers in the past, or simply not lasting ones?

[spellslots]

The latter one, I don't, uh... [He waves a hand through the air, a lazy, dismissive sort of gesture.] Cha boy doens't really date, or didn't, I guess.

[He's done it twice here, although he realizes in restrospect that the first attempt was a big mistake driven by his loneliness and inability to cope with that.]

And I don't get attached.

[BIG OLD LIE]

[fiercestwarrior]

[ Yeah Sif is going to raise a doubting eyebrow here. ]

How can there be a relationship without attachment?

[spellslots]

I mean, just, I like Rin a lot? But if he left I'm not gonna be heartbroken, I don't get that attached.

[He doesn't trust people not to leave, at least, people that aren't Lup.]

[fiercestwarrior]

I see.

[ She can't judge, feelings are exhausting. ]

And that is something you can control?

[ She could stand to take a few lessons. ]

[spellslots]

Pretty much, yeah.

[He's had centuries of practice, closing himself off to anyone but Lup. Eventually the IPRE wormed their way past his defenses, but that took decades.]

I've heard that's kinda weird.

[fiercestwarrior]

I cannot control what I feel, but I do not let it control me.

[ Most of the time, that is... Sif has become very, very good at setting her personal feelings aside at this point. Also from centuries of practice. ]

[spellslots]

I do not find that hard to believe.

[Considering she's been in love with Thor for years and hasn't said anything about it.]

[fiercestwarrior]

I assume Rin is aware of this... non-attachment?

[ Taako doesn't strike her as someone who wouldn't be upfront about that. ]

[spellslots]

We've both got lives to get back to, he knows how it is.

[Or: Taako thinks they're both on the same page. He is very wrong.]

[fiercestwarrior]

That is good, then. I am happy for you.

Thor has no issue, I trust?

[ Because then he will get a Talking To. ]

[spellslots]

Issues with what?

[He's bad at following threads of conversation sometimes, even when they're his own.]

[fiercestwarrior]

Your dark elf.

[spellslots]

Oh, nah, if Thor had an issue he could suck my dick.

[Taako likes Thor, but he would have zero hesitation to tell Thor to go fuck himself.]

Loki's being... Loki. [a shrug.] I don't think he meant to be a dick the last time, but you know how shit can be.

[It's easy to take Loki the wrong way.]

[fiercestwarrior]

[ Okay, the bit about Thor actually made her bark out a loud laugh. As for Loki being Loki... yeah. She knows how it is. ]

It must be because of Frigga.

[spellslots]

That's what he said, but he's being a fucking hypocrite if it is.

[For someone who's Not Getting Attached he sure does seem upset on Rin's behalf.]

[fiercestwarrior]

[ Understandably upset, Sif thinks. Loki seems to want people to give him an infinite supply of second chances, but he can't even offer a first one to someone who is not even remotely connected to the thing that causes him to lash out? That is low. ]

Yes, I agree. He of all people should know better, but I am not surprised that he does not.

[spellslots]

[Taako sighs, leaning back in his seat; he didn't want to really get into this, because he cares about Loki a lot and he cares about Rin, too, but his friendship with Rin is newer, not as intense as it is with Loki.

It's complicated.

This is why he hates emotions.]

I know I gotta talk to him about it, but I dunno, Rin said he didn't want an apology and the last thing I want is to start shit that doesn't need to be started.

[Maybe it's better left as it, awkward and uncomfortable but not actively hostile. Or maybe he's just a coward.]

[fiercestwarrior]

Getting an apology from Loki would be like squeezing blood from a stone anyway.

[ Sif won't force him to talk, but she also wants to give back to him a little of what he has been giving her, because he has helped her more than he might know. ]
