Oh, aye, I can tell you your \u2026 sentiments. But not always why, or what you would do with them. :swirls the wine in the glass: And yes, I feel, strongly. Overwhelmingly, sometimes. I can understand a desire to stop thinking.<\/p>\n

But I would not be without it. :takes a clip out of her hair and starts to play with the river of it as it comes down over her shoulders: Just like my hair, it\u2019s so much a part of my self-identity that to lose it would be to lose myself.<\/p>\n

They tried, once. I had rather burn, suffer, for a thousand years than not feel.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThey?\u201d Loki tilted his head to the side, curious. \u00a0He took another long drink. \u00a0\u201dWho would try such a thing?\u201d \u00a0He tried to steady himself from distraction as she dragged her fingers through her hair. \u00a0Her words echoed softly in his mind\u2026he couldn\u2019t imagine embracing such lifestyle. \u00a0He hated his own emotions, hated the way they fueled him, made him weak, hasty. \u00a0It was a rare luxury to even consider the feelings of others.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

She shrugged, avoiding looking at him. \u201cPeople, people around me. To feel so strongly \u2026 it\u2019s not ordinary. It frightens people. There are drugs \u2014 I felt like I was walking in a world of cotton. Muffled.\u201d With a shudder, she tossed the rest of the wine back and held the glass out to him. \u201cYou think you\u2019re finding my weaknesses, don\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Loki chuckled a bit. \u00a0\u201dMy dear, I am the God of Mischief. \u00a0I picked apart your weaknesses before we even sat down. \u00a0It\u2019s simply what I do.\u201d<\/p>\n

He flashed his most charming smile.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t entirely true; people were constantly surprising him. \u00a0But he quickly dismissed any such thoughts. \u00a0They were not beneficial to his pride. \u00a0He finished took another drink and poured one for her. \u00a0\u201dBut enough about you<\/em>. \u00a0What can I tell you of my own secrets?\u201d He smirked at her expectantly.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“Shall you whisper them in my ear, lest anyone else know them? Or maybe you’ll try to kill me, after I’ve drunk enough of this wine to satisfy you. Just to protect yourself.” Her mouth curled in a one-sided smile. “What do you want to tell, darlin’? What’s so hard to carry you resort to drinkin’ and a smart-mouthed firechild?”<\/p>\n

She set the glass aside and rose to stand immediately before him, looking up the foot of difference. Very close. “What are you running from? Tell Summer.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
