[This time he moves forward, closing the distance between them so he can lay a hand on Thor's chest. It's a gesture of comfort, because laugh or not, it's clear when it clicks and Taako can't offer anything that will help with this, only a small gesture of comfort.]

He's a piece of work, we both know that. He was trying to spare you which is fucking stupid, I told him you'd figure it out eventually.

[He'll feel guilty about this later, about leading Thor to the conclusion, but it's only sped things up. This was inevitable.]

[Thor wants to back away when Taako closes the distance between them, because it seems to solidify everything in a way he wants to avoid. He finds himself frozen in place, with just enough movement to look down at the hand on his chest.

The ringing in his ears is back, and suddenly the petty little game he'd been playing with Loki is completely irrelevant. As if it never happened. As if that's not why Taako is here in the first place.

Loki's story hadn't really added up, but Thor had been willing to accept it. This adds up, but Thor isn't so willing this time around. Loki has betrayed him a hundred times, and he was sure he'd betray him a hundred more, but he'd always be around to do it.

Thor swallows hard, when he looks back up at Taako his eyes are wet with tears. Never really the sort to shy away from feeling his emotions or grieving openly, he doesn't care if Taako sees him cry.]

I'd much prefer it if you were lying, Taako.

[spellslots]

I know.

[Isn't that what Loki was trying to do anyway? Cover up the worst possible outcome with a lie that's only the tiniest bit less awful. Better that Loki is a traitor and alive than a good man and dead. But this isn't the sort of thing that Taako can condone, this sort of secret between siblings.

It's too close to what Lucretia did to him. Better to never have known Lup, than to know she's dead.]

I'm sorry.

[worldsaway]

It’s fine.

[Thor says, brusquely. With the overbearing air of it’s not fine hanging over him. He has a hard time making his eyes meet Taako’s for the moment, the shock is making it hard for him to have a definitive reaction.]

I should prefer that he died a hero rather than living on as a coward and a traitor. [He says, as if he needs to tell himself that.] I don’t know that I do.

[spellslots]

[It's not fine, but he's not the sort of person who's going to point that out, not in a situation like this.]

I get it, bubbale, I do. But I think-- uh, I think this way is better for him. As much as I fucking hate it.

[After everything that Loki's been through, falling back into those shitty habits would sunk him back into self-loathing a lot worse than death has.]
