Hello there, my dear fellow captives. I've missed you all so very much, and I'm sure the feeling has been quite mutual.

[ Loki sounds positively playful and is quite cheerfully smiling as he addresses whatever audience he might gather, though there's a contrasting uncharacteristicly careworn quality to his body language. ]

Blessed with good fortune is Loki, let me tell you. Though there was a little peril to my very soul for a few days, a clever rescue cleared that all right up. It put some things in perspective here, I think. Strange how it is I find myself with most everything I could possibly desire save that aforementioned threat of what I think may have been potentially erasure from reality.

By the by, my brother is here in duplicate-- handsome, muscular fellow, likes his hammer. You'll all get along well with Thor, everyone does. That goes especially for people that don't like me, few though you may be.

So how was your week? What did I miss? Was it terribly interesting?

I'd not suggested that it was him in particular that was the issue.

[ Just blame puberty for this, Thor. Boys his age can be moody.

Thankfully, he seems to shake himself mostly out of his fit of pique. Time for a change of topic, and a rather abrupt one at that. ] So how do you fare today?

[Moody indeed.]

Well, though not as well as you, given your evident jubilation. [He'd been going to post and say how nice it was to see him so happy.]

[ The act is harder now for some reason. He still has that dread of discovery, the mixed jumble of feelings towards Thor, but knowing only abstractly that he should hate himself and actually doing so were two very different things. It isn't easy to sort out.

That was dangerous when the last thing he could afford to do was turn his brother on him (and still he thought it possible), but he could fix this and hesitates only briefly. ] It would be hard to. There's nothing but reasons for Loki to be jubilant today.
