[ it's such a bizarre statement that loki has to pause to absorb it all. it's not untrue, it's just . . . beyond anything loki could have ever imagined before for himself. he swallows it down, his throat tight. ]
I will of course stand with you, yes? As the head of our household and your beloved brother, it is my right.
[ And obviously Thor wants to do it. He wants to watch Loki marry this man and find a lasting relationship. Surrounded by his new friends. It is more than he thought his brother would get, in truth, and a pleasant surprise. But this is Thor so he can't help but grin. ]
And here I thought you had no interest in liking or caring for humans.
I also think someone cautioned me on loving one too. Who could that be?
[ Thor is only teasing. He didn't consider it a real problem when Loki was poking at him over Jane. That's years removed from now and he is only too happy for Loki to change his mind. It didn't factor into the reality of his relationship anyway. He is enjoying prodding at Loki over it though. ]
So I think you might be, what's that word? [ Thor gestures at Loki. ] Starts with W, ends with rong.
[ loki's eyes narrow dangerously at thor. he recognizes it for the gentle teasing that it is, but thor can only take it so far until loki's hackles are raised. ]
What difference would it make? I'm already dead. Do you think me so foolish as to believe this wedding will change my fate?
[ Thor turns to look back at Loki and laughs, knowing he's embarrassed him and not caring even a little. That's his prerogative. He's gone through a lot of emotions in a short amount of time, from grief and acceptance of lost to joy and playfulness, but he's an emotional man. It happens. ]
We are not making invitations. I'm willing to let some people know but I'm hardly making it a huge affair.
[ this is a bold lie. loki is going to go all out for his wedding but whether people show up or not is unimportant. what is important is that lawford and loki get the wedding of their dreams. ]
As if you would ever be subtle when throwing a party, please.
[ He knows you, Loki. ]
Invite all your friends, they'll be glad to be there. We've all been suffering these fake marriages and engagements here, having at least one of them be real will be a nice change of pace.
So between the two of you, you will have several guests. I am certain the Sarano have excellent wedding opportunities, since they care so much for it.
[ Far too much. Thor is married twice over. Not that he's really talked about it since it was accidental and whoops his own fault for being too affectionate with others. ]

Your heart beats. You are alive, brother. Your beloved lives here too. That is what matters now.
no subject
Yes. For now.
Let's not get carried away.

[ Thor shoots him an amused look and pulls his hand away. They are both very theatrical in their own ways. Asgardians have a flair for the dramatic. ]
Let's not be negative. You're getting married in the here and now.
no subject
I'm getting married.
no subject
Loki's getting married, universe!
no subject
no subject
Would you rather me lift and spin you again?
no subject
No. Absolutely not.
no subject
So what is the plan with the wedding? Should we make invitations?
[ Thor should not be allowed to make invitations. ]

How many friends do you expect me to have?
no subject
More than you think. Besides, this William of yours has friends too, yes?
no subject
Most likely. Of course anyone he wants is allowed to come.

You like planning events.
no subject
As if I'd let the Sarano design my wedding.
no subject
I meant locations. Of course you'll plan your own wedding.
no subject
[ that's the most important part, to him. that lawford receives all that is his due. ]
no subject
[ They won't be on Sarano forever and it seems like a good idea to get it done here since they'll be back in space. ]
no subject
It won't take me long. Just the right elements and some magic to ease the way.
