Brunnhilde! You didn't try to talk him out of it?

I cannot control him anymore than you can, Thor.

He promised he was changing. He said he didn't want to be king of anything anymore.

He doesn't know what he wants, besides attention.

(She was being a little rude about it, sure. But she didn't want to lead on that she had some sort of feeling for Loki when she had some sort of feeling for Thor.)

He was getting plenty of attention for his plays. He didn't need to take it farther. He put us all at risk.

I hope you're just ranting and not placing blame on anyone but Loki, your majesty.

Brunnhilde, I don't blame you. I am Loki's keeper, not anyone else.

(He sure liked using her real name. It felt... intimate.)

Neither of us are at fault. Loki is unpredictable and well, Loki. I've not know him long and I know him well enough to kind of expect this behavior.

[ He does like using it a lot. It's a sign of trust between them. ]

I know he is unpredictable. It was just like talking to the old Loki, claiming lies and chaos are what he is. I thought he left that behind.

(It's very special!)

I know it's not our job, but maybe we should take better care of staying with him when we visit planets. He wants to act like an idiot, we'll treat him like a child.

It's not your job, it is my job. I was so close to dragging him to the brig, which would have been very bad for us, but he kept fighting for the right to mess with these people. He threatened to stay here and take over. It's ridiculous.

Do you want comfort or solutions. Help me help you. I want you happy, my king.

I'm trying to focus on stopping this storm, but I think it may be out of my hands. That happens on alien planets, I should have known better.

(She knows this is forward, but she really doesn't care.)

I can help you calm down.

If you're being suggestive, that'll only rile me up.

[ Hey, having sex with her is not calming. Which is fine by him, normally. ]

I think I can control it to a shorter storm. Then perhaps, although I am in a temper, my friend.

So that's a maybe

I need to try and at least make this a short one and then help clean up. So yes that's a maybe later.

You'll be able to find me, if you need me.

[ It's several hours later, after the storm is done, after he guiltily helped clean up everything he could. He didn't apologize directly to the Sarano because it seemed dangerous to admit he's responsible for something. It could cause an international incident. But later when he's weary and a bit downtrodden, he messages her again. ]

Where are you?

(Since she's not a queen, and she's not really of any high standing with the Sarano, she's staying on the ship. Brunnhilde replies pretty quickly.)

On the ship. Bored out of my mind, Thor. Are things better?

The storm is over, I helped clean up.

[ Guiltily. Honestly, everyone seems like they're ready to just move on with the party anyway. It only inconvenienced them, not ruined anything. But he still feels bad about it, and frustrated he let it get out of his control. ]

Are you still offering that distraction?

Always, my king.
