[ man, did Loki just appear in your quarters ]

Comments

[thatboyisamonster]

Oh dear. Does that mean I don't have to kill anyone? What a pity.

[scienceping]

I request that you also disarm yourself.

[thatboyisamonster]

And why should I? I haven't actually changed my mind about killing people, I was lying.

[scienceping]

Because I would speak with you in private.

[thatboyisamonster]

Fine.

[ his armour and Gungnir vanish ] Lead the way.

[scienceping]

[looks at him for a moment before he turns, heading out of the observation deck, leading them to a smaller conference room. the small crowd that's gathered parts for them, giving Loki a wide berth.]

[thatboyisamonster]

[ smiles sharply at them, showing his teeth ]

[scienceping]

[some of them back up even more. but the female yeoman is also there, not flinching this time though.]

[thatboyisamonster]

Aren't you a pretty thing?

[scienceping]

[they back up even more, but the yeoman just crosses her arms, staring straight at him]

"I suggest you keep following Mr. Spock."

[thatboyisamonster]

And do you know what happens to people who offer me suggestions? Do you think you're safe?

[scienceping]

[she shrugs]

"We're in deep space, we're never really ever safe out here. But that doesn't mean you frighten me."

[thatboyisamonster]

[ grabbing her throat ]

How about now?

[scienceping]

[she does flinch a bit, but she still looks straight at him, a hint of fear but also steeled with defiance. Loki's threat prompts others into action though, either pulling away or trying to step in. but Spock's raised voice stops them all.]

Loki. I would speak to you in private.

[thatboyisamonster]

[ considers snapping her neck briefly before dropping her ]

If I were you, I'd remember that space isn't always about the things you see. But the things you can't see.

[scienceping]

[she coughs briefly when she's dropped, hand going to her throat, but she continues to look at him straight on, insubmissive.]

Yeoman, report to sickbay. Lieutenant Hendorff, you will escort her and then report to Captain Kirk.

[a big burly man helps the yeoman up, glaring at Loki the whole time, but he walks with her down the hallway.]

If you would join me within this room, please?

[thatboyisamonster]

[ following ]

[scienceping]

[the crowd disperses s Loki walks in, Spock closing the door behind them]

Was that strictly necessary?

[thatboyisamonster]

[ shrugs, not answering ]

[scienceping]

[... small sigh. moves towards the table, sitting at one of the chairs.]

[thatboyisamonster]

[ he stands, crossing his arms ]

[scienceping]

You may sit, if you wish.

[thatboyisamonster]

I prefer to stand.

[scienceping]

[small nod. quiet for a long moment before speaking quietly again.]

... It was not our intent to hurt you.

[thatboyisamonster]

But you did. In spades. You created something I can never intrude on. You have a future, Spock. And you've made sure I can never have a part of it.

So why should I let you have it?
