Re: [quicklog: thor and loki, asgard's dungeon]
[Though Loki refused to answer why, the answer came soon enough in the conditions he'd laid upon Thor's release. To be alone, to be cast out, to have nothing - when Odin had done the same he'd been cast to Midgard, his people never believed him guilty of crimes.
Loki wanted him separated from his friends on Earth, from any other realm where he might find allies. There would be no talks with the dwarves of Nidavellir or conversations with the court of Vanaheim. He was to be alone. As he had never wished for his brother, but as Loki had wished for him. Cast out and removed from the path to Asgard's throne.
He blinked slowly and took a step back from the golden barrier separating them. Yes, he had wanted Loki at his side, and he at his. He had always hoped to have that again, but now that hope curdled into something else, and anger that normally ran hot as lightning, ran cold as permafrost. He gave a little shake of his head, a denial for all that he was feeling, but it still chilled him and made his palm itch for the handle of Mjolnir.] The next time I see you, I will kill you. [He said slowly, clearly, without the raging snarl that so often accompanied his anger.] Get out of my sight.
