Where did Thor put my journal?
[That is an excellent question, Jane. And might have more than a little to do with the fact that Odin is not Odin. Or that Loki!Odin's telling of the conversation in the throne room went a bit differently.
Which may be apparent from the confused look on the Asgardian girl's face.] He said my father had forsaken Asgard.

You could stand on Mew Mew.
[she grins]
Shorty.
A lot of people are abused, that doesn't make you special, or justify taking your anger out on innocent people.
You should be happy you were adopted and not left behind to die. From what Thor has told me you were raised as equals, both loved by your mother and your father. There are people who never have parents, Loki. People who grow up feeling abandoned and unlovable.
My mom left when I was only six months old. Did I grow up, hunt her down, threaten her and everything she held dear and then nearly demolish an entire city because of it? No, I didn't. So stop acting like a child having a tantrum, throwing his toys out of the stroller.

Well then he lied. Which doesn't sound like something he would do.
Thor wants to keep the role he has now. He doesn't feel like he can protect everyone from a throne, and I don't blame him. You know him, he's always been more hands-on. Can you imagine him standing in safety, ordering troops into battle without joining in?

Thor would have to be there to put it in the right place. And if Thor were there I could just have him get it himself.
No. No I cannot. Honestly, I can't imagine doing it myself. But someone must one day rule.
[The Midgardian is right. Odin would not say such a thing if it were not true. Something is wrong.]

Thor is an idiot, and sometimes dead is better. My false-father hates me, Frigga is too spineless to really help me, and Thor himself barely notices I'm there unless I'm making trouble. This is true in every world I've been to, and thousands of years of it is not good for a growing boy.
I don't take my anger out on innocents. Asgard has no innocents. Jotunheim was a mercy kill; the planet was falling apart without the artifacts that Odin Gallows-God had stolen from them. And your little world was never attacked by Loki of his own free will, but by that of the monsters in the Void.

I think maybe I should call Thor and tell him to get back here. It sounds like you guys have some stuff to work out.
All convenient excuses. You know sociopaths can justify any behavior, even the most heinous.
I can wait. I don't want to bother him.
Yes, I know that well. Odin is a sociopath, after all. *And he taps the pool of venom where his eye should be.*
But I'm fairly sure that I would know if I had no empathy. Thor is much closer to sociopathy than I am--he regularly kills hundreds of people because someone called him names. I was the one who spent my life trying to talk him down.

In that case... no need to stand here the whole time. Let's sit down.
[And have a super awkward getting to know each other chat.]

Thor's not like that, not any more. He's changed, you just haven't spent any time with him so you haven't seen it yet.
[She witnessed the change herself, from arrogance to humility and self-sacrifice. It was seeing that, and learning what was in his heart, that made her fall for him.]

Yours, perhaps. Although I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him, and that's not exactly far. A thousand years of mindless evil does not end in a week.
Any evils your Loki did were forced by others, or done during a complete mental breakdown. Can you truly hate him for that?

Blaming others is an easy excuse. No matter what, you always have a choice. And it looks like you always choose yourself first.
[Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuper awkward. But hey, it was bound to happen sooner of later, right?]
Thank you. [She moves farther into the room, taking a seat at the table and drawing one leg up under her.]

Never did I chose myself first. Everything I do is for my children. Although if your Loki did I cannot blame him, for no one in Asgard is worth choosing before us. Not even Frigga, though she sometimes tried in her helpless way to be kind, for a woman who truly cared about the world she lived in would have stabbed her tyrant husband while he slept.

Wow, you are seriously trapped in your own delusion, aren't you?
[Jane joined her at the table.]
Um... do you want anything? Water, coffee... god listen to me I sound like a stewardess.

What delusion are you talking about? I have been stripped of them, rather: the delusion that I could ever earn Odin's love, the delusion that having to earn love is normal or acceptable, the delusion that Asgard could ever care for someone who isn't a musclebound brute.
You have only seen one side of the story. Why do you assume that nothing beside remains? When I have venom for eyes and scars for lips, what makes you think the things done to me were false?
But then, you claim we all have choices. In that case, lets do an experiment. I shall drop a baby into a tank of sharks, and we shall see if the baby chooses to live.

Just the fact that you would suggest that proves how barbaric you can be. You were not a baby when you made the choices I'm talking about.
Oh, I wouldn't actually do it. I have children of my own, after all. But the point is made: other people's actions can remove your choices.
Okay, okay, maybe there's like a step ladder or something at the lab we could get.
The point is not made. And I'm tired of listening to you try to justify what somebody else did. If you don't want me to judge you on our Loki's actions, then we should stop talking about this.
Or, we could just get Thor to stop taking my stuff.
