[He doesn't know Billy, and doesn't know how far he'd go to help someone like Loki.]

I know. I'm a technopath, remember? Easy enough to stalk that little video call.

I'm scared of demons. You should know that. And the thought of what one might do to you, not just with your powers, but to you, scared me. Hell, even my boyfriend reached out to warn me that you were potentially possessed.

He says hi by the way. Sorta. More a nod while he's refilling my drink.

Oh, bad news. Next time I see you, I'm hugging you. No arguments. You scared me. Do you know how powerless a guy like me feels when it's problems with gods and demons and magic? I can't touch ANY of that.

[thecoolerloki]

Oh, right.

And hi Balthier.

[That's a little gift to confirm he did read through David's letters.]

That seems acceptable. Before that, though, there is something else I would tell you. If that's alright.

[helpdesk_hero]

[Yeah, he knew you did. Brat.]

Of course. Just... let me apologize first. I didn't think my words would make you cry. I just wanted you distracted so I could get help.

[thecoolerloki]

That's what I wanted to talk about too. It's alright, BTW.

Since I wanted to tell you that I do hate Thor.

[helpdesk_hero]

Yeah. I heard that. But we can love and hate people at the same time. Pretty easily.

[thecoolerloki]

I cried because admitting it makes me feel like I am bad. And I don't like being bad. I should be good and I should love him.

But I feel the same way about him that I feel about Loki.
Which is to say they're both awful older brothers.

[helpdesk_hero]

You deserve better brothers.

[thecoolerloki]

Tyr and Balder are even worse lol

[helpdesk_hero]

I don't remember my sister's face, except through the memories of others. Or her name. But I'm told I can be a good big brother, if you want one.

I expect a No if I'm honest, I don't think you would want that from me. But if you would consider it, I warn you I am protective. And I cook too much for people. And sometimes I'm a condescending asshole, but I usually respond to being told that by stepping back, thinking about it, and agreeing. And apologizing.

[thecoolerloki]

I mean this as no offense to you whatsoever

But I'm sorta over adopted family members at this point? I have enough, and I do love them, despite everything.

[helpdesk_hero]

Literally no offense taken.

You're still getting hugged.

[thecoolerloki]

And I shall deal with that when the time comes!

[helpdesk_hero]

And for the distress you caused me, your 'dealing with it' will be standing there and accepting it.
