[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. ]

[spellslots]

I am a very good wizard.

[He could get blood from a stone if he wanted, maybe he can even get an apology from Loki.]

Or I could start being a dick to Steve, see how he feels about that.

[fiercestwarrior]

I think he would feel that it is not the same thing at all.

[ Sif, a pillar of the finest Asgardian salt. ]

[spellslots]

Maybe blonde Americans killed my parents, I've got no fucking clue.

[No one bothered to get into too much details with the twins.]

[fiercestwarrior]

Your suffering would still not be equal to his.

[ You have unleashed The Sass, Taako. ]

[spellslots]

[He feels a little guilty about this, but also he's petty enough to enjoy it.]

I dunno, he seems to enjoy my suffering, maybe he'd adnit it's enough.

[Different kind of suffering, but still.]

[fiercestwarrior]

[ No guilt on her end, as far as she's concerned Loki has earned every drop of venom she has in her soul. ]

Making others suffer is entertainment to him, not a cause for self-reflection.

[spellslots]

[And while he knows that Sif has a perfectly good reason, Taako suddenly feels like he's being a little too mean. He scrubs a hand over his face, almost but not quite sighing.]

That wasn't fair, he's never been cruel to me.

[fiercestwarrior]

[ Sif shrugs, understanding the wish to do right by a friend but not particularly in a mood to be gentle herself. ]

You were blowing hot air, and not even at him. Besides, you are speaking to one he has tried to murder and manipulate, you are hardly at risk of tainting a previously favorable view of him here.
