At What Price Respect

[brave_heart_verity]

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.))

An interesting conversation and a chance for a lot of sharing stories. Not a bad deal in her book. Except for that bit where he ends up in a cave, she doesn't like that part.

"No society can last forever." But she's probably descended from Vikings a little bit, so doesn't every civilization live on in a way?

She's never visited the other realms. Loki bringing a moral home to visit wouldn't have gone well at any stage in their friendship. Buncha snobs.

"I... don't know. I don't... really understand what's happening. It's possible one of them caused it. There are two. Were? I." Oh dear, now she looks like she might cry. "It's complicated."

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."

She's going to be clinging to that hand, just for a minute. "Not all Lokis. It doesn't have to be that way." Metaphors she's not so good with, but metaphysics is easier. Concepts of time and being she can understand. And she knows it didn't have to be that way.

"Everyone can change if they want to. The future isn't immutable. That's how we ended up with two. One was from a future that wouldn't happen. He wanted to make my Loki do terrible things."
