Loki knows that he is cursed. His children are cursed. Ragnarok will come, no matter what, and it is on his head, and his children, and the cycle shall continue on.

Liars are not to be trusted, even when they speak the truth. Children of the Liesmith are judged before ever they are met, for his blood runs true. So say all.

Even the most human of his children, son of a mechanic, raised in an eyesore of a town – now that they know, Thor's companions will look for lies on his face, in his voice. They will look for falsehoods and twisted tales and all of the favor he gained before will be lost beneath the knowledge that Loki Silvertongue carried and bore him unto the world.

Mama, the child calls through shadows and flame. Stop worrying. He laughs, wolfsong thrumming in the sound. What will be, will be,the child says firmly.

Yes, Loki replies. He does not want to destroy the world, not at all. And whether the end comes or no, there are still plans and plots to be finalized, allies to woo, and mortals to mark as beyond touch.

Thank you, he says to his son, before turning his gaze again to the minions waiting for his command.
