[ i - for your au needs ]

[ A Loki that fell to Earth is a Loki that still enjoying living. Earth gave him opportunities to step away from Thor's shadow and be his own person. True, he wasn't much of a prince or a god as he drifts among mere mortals without a blink of an eye, but it is preferable to the treatment of the Nine Realms. When he awoke, changed by the chalice, Loki was smart enough not to panic even as the doubts crept in. Instead, he devoted himself to the work. He weaved in and out of the Gramayre Institute, the Communal Housing and wanders around Riverview. His manner is polite if not a little distant. His clothes range towards more casual shirts and slacks, and his hair is much shorter.

You might also spot him sitting near the fountain, casting small illusions for the group of children nearby, of green dragons and golden heroes or at the market, eyeing their selection of jeweled daggers. ]

[ ii - can you feel the love tonight? ]

[ Loki can deflect magic and bullets with ease. His physical prowess is nothing to scoff at, despite his slighter frame. So when the repellent drifts over, Loki was certainly not prepared to fight the very air itself. By the time he realized what had happened, it was too late. He had inhaled it too sharply and felt his limbs loosen. The tension that's always hung over him like a heavy aura has all but dissipated and Loki is all twinkling smiles and calm demeanor. You might have bumped into him accidentally as he stands there and he turns, contrite. ]

My apologies.

[ Loki shrugs. It lacks his usual alien grace and seems more . . . human. ]

Think nothing of it. A paltry sum on my part.

Why horses?

[aeturnus]

They're gorgeous, aren't they?

[ Beautiful creatures for sure, but... It's not really an answer, and Romulus knows better than to not answer. ] They remind me of—safety.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki hums thoughtfully. He hasn't seen his own steed in years. ]

I suppose they do represent a wild strength.

[aeturnus]

They're a great many things.

[ He'd wax poetic if he understood how, but it's all just jumbled up emotions without much avenue for escape. He seems rather content, though. ]

What of those things you made before?

[dothelokimotion]

[ He blinks, tilting his head. ]

Which things in particular?

[aeturnus]

The...

[ He frowns, brows furrowing in thought. ]

It was something like a lizard.

[dothelokimotion]

[ His expression clears up. ]

A dragon. Fire-breathing lizards of ancient lore. Very rare to see in person.

[aeturnus]

How do lizards breath fire? Do they also use magic?

[ Magic. Science. Biology. All kinda the same to him right now. ]

[dothelokimotion]

I suppose it depends on the dragon. Magic is in their blood, but I imagine science can explain the process more effectively.

[aeturnus]

They can be the same?

[ After talking with Tony, he just wasn't sure... ]

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki taps his chin. He's been among mortals long enough to have his own explanations ready but he still encounters confusion. ]

What cannot be explained is often a science that is beyond mortal grasp.

[aeturnus]

Which makes them... levels of the same thing?

[ That makes sense to him. There's just a lot he doesn't know in order to even form baseline understandings. ]

[dothelokimotion]

Yes. They are not so far apart.

[aeturnus]

Then it's possible to learn all of them.

[ It's said with a bit of wonder, because boy howdy would he like to learn all of the things someday. Pipe dreams are still dreams, and those are worth just having, aren't they? ]

[dothelokimotion]

You might need more than one lifetime to achieve such a thing.

[ It's blunt but not cruel. ]

[aeturnus]

I... may have more than one.

[ It's quiet, thoughtful, like he doesn't want to believe something that he knows is true. At this point, it's hard for him to deny what everyone's been stepping around, what his brother has already told him their whole lives. ]

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki peers at him. He cannot sense any magic and yet . . . ]

What makes you say so?

[aeturnus]

People here keep asking how old I am. To... compare. And—I have other evidence.

[ It's hard to explain? He's never really had to explain it before. It's just been. ]

[dothelokimotion]

I have never known a mortal to outlast their natural lifespan.

[aeturnus]

It would be natural. I just... I'm sorry, I don't know how to explain.

[ And he ducks his head, eyes to the ground despite it all. ]

[dothelokimotion]

[ His gaze is still coolly observant before it breaks. ]

No matter. There are many mysteries involved in this place.

[aeturnus]

[ He sighs softly, then nods. ]

Your magic is fantastic. Probably not a mystery to you.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki turns his palm downwards, a shower of stars from his hands. ]

I would not be so sure of that.

[aeturnus]

[ Yeah, he's watching that. Steps closer without getting too close. ]

How do you mean?

[dothelokimotion]

Just that there are things even magic cannot reveal.
