Being injured doesn't help my mood.

Such frail creatures that take entirely too long to mend. So very sad and pathetic.

[freshoffthefarm]

An apology would work wonders.

[justabitoffun.livejournal.com]

So you're asking me to lie to you?

[freshoffthefarm]

Yes.

Failing that, fix it for me.

[justabitoffun.livejournal.com]

[Loki is silent for a moment.]

Fixing it would cause questions to arise. And I'm not in a gracious mood, besides.

Do you still want your lie?

[freshoffthefarm]

The injury caused questions to arise. [It was a grumpy answer and so she nodded.] Yes.

[justabitoffun.livejournal.com]

And now there are lies in place for that. Would you have them disrupted? Tsk. Bad form.

[He looks straight into her eyes with completely dead ones of his own, and intones:] I'm sorry.

[freshoffthefarm]

[She waits long enough, just long enough to raise the question of whether her smile is as much a lie as his apology, but it looks sincere. Very sincere.]

Thank you, Loki. I appreciate that more than you know.

[justabitoffun.livejournal.com]

[His eyes watch her sharply but his expression does not change.]

As you say.

[freshoffthefarm]

I'm glad we've cleared that up.

[justabitoffun.livejournal.com]

...Certainly.

[freshoffthefarm]

[And because she can, and partly because she knows full well he didn't mean a word of it, she steps forward and ignores the pain in her shoulder to put her arms around him.]

[He stiffens immediately beneath her embrace and does not reciprocate, simply stares ahead as he waits it out.]
