Re: Action, May 4th

"No. I did not play at being hero." If Thor thought that of him, he still understood nothing. "I ended the fight. Because that is what I do, Thor. And I do it very well."

Loki glared at him. "You are like a child playing games with honor! The moment to negotiate is when their only other choice is seeing their own blood. He who holds the knife dictates the terms!"

"Parlay is not made with a knife to one's throat! Any assurances made under threat of death is not one that would be kept. An oath made at knife point is no oath made in truth!" There were ways to handle situations like this. Attempts at reason failed, true, but death like this, death because of this shattered what little goodwill his actions had made in the first place.

"I am no more a child than you were when you stole the books in the first place! To Hel with the fool that would prevent Loki from enjoying his books as he will. How dare anyone choose what he may or may not do!"

Hah. Well at least one point had hit home. "Fear is a powerful motivator, brother. It seemed time to try that, since every sort of reason had failed on that unreasonable bird!"

Loki poked Thor in the chest. "Oh, I see, it would be all right to steal from me one of my greatest joys, for it is mine and you disdain it. But will you steal it too from my little brother and sister? Well you aren't just punishing me, you thick-headed ass, and would that I had known my life was not worthy enough coin to purchase even the mean happiness afforded in this prison!" Another poke. "Oh, the honorable Thor, who mocks others for loving what he does not value and thinks them fools for wishing to protect it. So noble! Next, I shall let the owl take from me my lady, for surely I am not allowed to defend those rare things that make me feel even a modicum of joy! I had forgotten that I am supposed to be of Asgard, and the world will only spin so long as I am filled with misery." And a third exceptionally firm poke.

Had he not pushed his brother away to avoid further chest poking? had he not attempted to give them both some distance so they might cool their heads? Was that all for naught? It was.

"Do not touch me again." He growled, lightening splitting the sky, fists clenching at his sides. They had fought enough. They were both frustrated. Weary. They were being unreasonable and unkind to one another. They need not do so. And then the poking. The mockery. The words upon words outlining an oaf, cutting away at what goodwill they have developed for one another- and one.

More.

Poke.

He saw read, fist snapping out at Loki's mouth, an incoherent growl twisting his lips, lancing through his throat. "ENOUGH!"

Well, Loki thought as Thor's fist hit its mark squarely, he'd certainly won this argument.

And this was very familiar.

And ow.

He snatched at Thor's wrist to keep from being knocked over. The blow split his lips. Yet despite that he smiled, and then laughed. "You always were a bad loser!"

At which point he decided to punch Thor in the nose.

[stopmjolnirtime]

"And you a FOOL-" Any further commentary was cut off by a crack of bone against his nose- twas not broken but it was enough to bloody him somewhat. It only served to further enrage him. To press him into lashing out again, aiming for his brother's eye. "And ever have been!"

Re: Action, May 4th

[complicatedliar]

Loki dodged, so the fist caught him a solid blow on the cheek instead of the eye. "Fine words from a hen!" He aimed for the nose again.

"COW!" He snarled and took the next blow in stride, swinging for Loki's smug mouth. He would knock the bloody thing from him if it were the last he might do.
