WHO: Thor Odinson & Loki Laufeyson
WHAT: The brothers unite... and most likely argue. Loudly.
WHERE: Outside the Library.
WHEN: After this this
RATING: PG?
PROGRESS: In Progress

Loki was far from happy to learn that his brother, Thor Odinson, had arrived in the mysterious city known as Colligo. While he did not hate Thor, no far from it, he loved his brother dearly, there was a great amount of discontent between the two. Or, perhaps it was merely on Loki's side. He was not jealous of Thor himself, but of the attention, applause, and love that all of Asgard bestowed on the once vain and selfish man. Thor was the king that all of Asgard wanted, which was fine by Loki, he did not want to be king. All he had wanted was recognition and to be his own man, powerful and respected, even adored, by others. Instead he was "Thor's brother", the tag along, the one who had to manipulate to get what he wanted, and was hated for it.

While this realm, this Colligo, was far from what Loki wanted, he was content with the idea that none of the other Asgardians were there. No snide looks, no cold remarks, no anger for making an elaborate scheme to allow the Frost Giants into Asgard so that he could destroy them. A plot that he had never intended, but had to craft because of his brother's recklessness. Yet, Loki knew the rest of Asgard would never see it that way. He would be the brother who betrayed his father, his King, and his brother. In Colligo, there was no such worries, and he was pleased with his position, even if the mortals in the city were annoying (he did not mind the immortals so much). Except, now his brother had come to the city. While Loki could admit there would have been far worse Asgardians to arrive, he was still unhappy that it was his brother that appeared.

Still, they were brothers, by bond if not by blood. Loki would not let his brother wander the streets lost, making a fool out of himself. While his brother had changed, Loki knew that there was still a streak of arrogance and pride within his brother. It was part of who he was. And so, dressed in mortal clothing - similar to the fashion he wore when visiting Thor on Midgard - Loki approached the Library. His hands were hidden by the folds of the coat, his hair slicked back as always, and green eyes searching for his brother.

Other realm travel was something that Thor had discounted entirely thanks to the destruction of the Bifrost. Without it, the Asgardians had no option but to remain within the eternal city. Not that they had any reason to leave. With Lefauy dead and Jotunheim in tatters thanks to his brother's schemes, whatever threat there had been to Asgard within the Nine Realms was now successfully crippled beyond any measure they had been before. With their king dead and presumably no heir to succeed him, they would be working to reconstruct their own realm for eons before considering taking on any other again. It was ironic, really, in Thor's mind that Loki's actions, something which the All-Father did not seem to appreciate in the least, were the very thing that were keeping them safe in the aftermath of this conflict.

But those thoughts were all a blink in his eye now with this new situation facing him. However it had been done, other realm travel had been accomplished in some way, and not only that, his brother that he had thought dead was present as well. To Thor, it was hope and far more than he had had in some time.

Spotting his brother approaching the library, looking very much like the average Midgardian moral to the unknowing eye, Thor beamed as it hit him that this wasn't simply some ridiculous charade. While the words and the voice had all rung true, it had been hard for Thor to believe until setting sight on his brother in the flesh. It took every ounce of willpower within him not to allow the child within him to race down the stairs and embrace Loki out of sheer relief. Instead, he stood at the top of the stairs, hands clasped behind his back and grinning like an idiot, until Loki had reached him.

Loki stopped at the bottom of the stairs and looked up at his older brother. He purposely kept the distance between them, as if it was to be a metaphor about their relationship. At least, with how Loki saw it; being forever in the shadow of Thor, being someone of less worth. In all fairness truth, Loki knew that was not how Thor saw him. Still, the recent events had tarnished his trust in his brother. Loki hoped that out of anyone, Thor would be the one to understand why he did what he did. It would seem to others that Loki would have wanted his brother dead, but that was far from the truth. Loki wanted his brother out of the way so he could, like always, clean up his mess.

With a deep breath, Loki raised his head slightly as if he were still a welcomed son in their father's house.

"Brother," he said, "how long has it been since we last saw each other? Days? Weeks? Months? Traveling through realms without the Bifrost can be rather... disorientating."

	"It is hardly upsetting. Unless I have to babysit you all the time." Loki said dismissively, handing the device back to Thor. They both knew that Even though he made it sound like a chore, Loki did indeed enjoy spending the time with his brother. It would be nice to have time between them that was not judged by others.
