Kiersten and Loki sat on the couch, bored. There had been a long period of awkward silence between the two, and Loki wasn't really one for starting a conversation.
"So who exactly are you?"
Loki stared at Kiersten with a questioning look. "I am afraid I do not understand," he replied. Kiersten looked at him and sighed.
I mean,whoare you? I know you're Loki and you tried to take over and whatnot, but you didn't just magically appear here without a past. I want to hear it."
Loki growled. Of course, it was only a matter of time before she asked about that. Mortals, always so curious. Kiersten looked at him, concerned.
"You do not need to hear my past," he told her bluntly. He was in no mood to elaborate upon his past, not at that moment, and likely never. Although Kiersten was a friend, he didn't intend to recall his past in the slightest. It was not something he enjoyed to muse upon himself, if he could help it.
"Well, it would be nice if I actually knew about you. My opinion of you right now essentially amounts to former-evildoer, freeloader, and somewhat visually attractive," Kiersten quipped. Loki glared. Clearly, tact did not exist in Kiersten's dictionary.
"Mortal, you call me a former-evildoer? I am not entirely sure your description fits. And besides, I have no desire to tell someone like you about my history."
Loki's hostile air did nothing to dissuade Kiersten. "Noted, I complimented you by calling you 'somewhat visually attractive', so remember that. And what do you mean, someone like me? Look, I'll listen, okay?" Kiersten wondered what exactly what it was that caused him to refuse to answer. Surely his past wasn't that terrible...
Loki turned away. Kiersten reached out for him, trying to get Loki to look at her. Loki grabbed her hand. "Do not touch me, mortal."
"You know, I thought we were over the mortal thing?" Kiersten asked. Loki tensed, inadvertently tightening his grip. Why was she so vexing?
"Ow, ow! Get off!" Kiersten jerked her hand away, inching farther from him. Loki blinked at her. He hadn't realized...it wasn't his intention to hurt her. So, even while cursed as a mortal, he was still a monstrous Jotunn after all.
Kiersten got up from the couch. "You know what, whatever. Sorry I asked."
Loki looked at her, a twinge of sadness evident on his face. Though he thought of apologizing, nothing came out of his mouth.
A.N: Sorry for the long wait and shortish chapter! I've been sick and working on applications and contests for school things. But I promise that the next chapter will be better and posted sooner. There's going to a bit of a change of venue in the next chapter..
Also, thank you guys for all the reviews and favorites and follows and reading this. You guys are awesome.
And is anyone besides me stoked for Thor 2? Saw the trailer and started freaking out. Especially considering that Christopher Eccleston is in it (Any Doctor Who fans out there reading this? If so, hi!). And Loki's hair is so long it's funny. I think they don't know how to cut hair on Asgard.
