At What Price Respect

Verity in the forum? Not a strange sight. Verity without coffee? Rather less common. Verity slumping, exhausted, into a couch? Unusual. Verity covered in scrapes, bruises, and dust? Definitely strange.

"Help isn't if it's forced on someone. This is true. Someone not in possession of all of the facts cannot give fully informed consent. This is also true. But nobody can be forced to listen." Of course Verity has things on her mind. Who here doesn't? "How do you reconcile that? Is ignorance truly bliss? Or do you do what's needed to save someone despite their choices?"

((A note before you come to play with Verity: she's got a magic spell stuck in her that lets her always know when someone is lying to her. This includes sarcasm and knowing when someone believes something to be true when it isn't. This doesn't include lies of omission. She can also see through illusions. Please respect this; if your character is trying to lie to her, please make that known so she can react appropriately. [I completely understand this isn't going to be everyone's idea of fun.] Thanks.))

Loki is certainly not shy, so... be weary (or delighted?)

This Loki was old school. He liked nature. Even though there was plenty of new things to see and learn about, he'd been an adventurer before his fall into destruction and he always thought more about discovering new land and places before he thought about looking poking his head into a store but then again, that was an entirely new concept to him.

"Mm," he hummed and looked up at the sky for a moment, "Well this is all so new to me, I remember small villages and Thor's beloved vikings. Little homes serving ale and mead. Certainly no cellphones! You Midguardians got clever indeed."

He smiled bright with a shrug, "what do you like? I shall follow your lead."

His sentence finished with a small yet dramatic bow.

And that would be an interesting conversation when it came. No, this Loki was not brother to Thor. He was friend to Thor, once. He was not bound by Aesir people. He was a proud Jotunn, and free to move about as he wished. Well, until he was tied up with the entrails of his dead son. Details.

"I do not think they live anymore in my world," but he wasn't entirely upset by that. It was what it was.

Loki nodded and followed the way she spoke. It wasn't caution. He did nothing but explore new places after seeking the mountains. He was happy to see trees and fields although. His Jotunheim was beautiful, not a dark wasteland of ice.

"The world is so strange now. you said youra is in trouble, is a Loki behind that? It is a Loki's wont."

He doesn't even know if the realms are still in one piece- actually, he isn't entirely sure how he got here but considering everything, he's not really surprised. Loki wasn't.. sure he cared if the other realms survived. He was, in some way, still angry and.. other things. Nevermind any of that, though!

His smile died down when she spoke again. It seemed like such a.. well, it seemed so natural that he didn't quite understand why it would make someone so sad. Loki's were Loki's.

He frowned and moved forward to gently grab her hand. Leaning in, "I'm sorry, that Loki's are like this."
