I still think calling them the Nameless Lands is redundant.

. . . I do not understand . . . who is "they"? Why can you not go somewhere else?

[thatboyisamonster]

Oh, I could go anywhere.

But I would not belong.

[hyanaimne]

You belong with family. Whether it is with your true family, with your brother in Asgard, or—or with me, with me and mine.

[thatboyisamonster]

I killed my own family.

[hyanaimne]

And yet, you say your brother will find you.

What do you want, Loki?

[thatboyisamonster]

Thor is not my brother.

[hyanaimne]

. . . what is he, then?

[thatboyisamonster]

How should I know? He is no concern to me.

[hyanaimne]

. . .

Loki.

[thatboyisamonster]

What.

[hyanaimne]

Lie better.

[thatboyisamonster]

I beg your pardon.

[hyanaimne]

Do you really think I believe that? That you do not care about your brother?

[thatboyisamonster]

He is not my brother.

[hyanaimne]

Why? You keep insisting that, and yet give no reason.

[thatboyisamonster]

We are not related. Odin took me from a warzone to use me.

[hyanaimne]

[not . . . expected]

. . . what does Thor think?

[thatboyisamonster]

Obviously, I haven't had the chance to ask.

[hyanaimne]

Then perhaps when you have the chance, you should.

. . . but even if you are not of the same blood, it does not mean you still aren't brothers, Loki. And you care about him, regardless. Yes?

[thatboyisamonster]

I am not answering that.

[hyanaimne]

[she shrugs] You do not need to.

. . . if you will not come with me, I will stay with you. For as long as I can.

[thatboyisamonster]

Why?

[hyanaimne]

That is a foolish question. You know why.

[thatboyisamonster]

You have other things to attend to.

[hyanaimne]

Yes, and?
