The Unquiet Thought, Interlude 2
Some kind of note here? I don't know, I'm tired.
Interlude (Thor)
Shadows flicker on the wall. The half used candle sits on his bedside table beside Mjolnir.
There are some things Thor can appreciate about Midgard, some things he can love whole heartedly, and there are others that he will never prefer over the ways of his home, such as the flickering of a flame’s light over the dull steady brightness of a light bulb.
He rolls his shoulders, his neck. Watches the flickering on the runes of his weapon, hoping the familiarity will calm him.
Loki is not acting like himself.
As a youth he had been quiet, Thor could remember that, but there had been a wit that developed as they grew. Sharp, and clever.
And missing.
Sometimes he wonders…
No.
There is something wrong, and he will discover it. When it is fixed all will be well again.
Starting with the clothes.
Thor had realized that evening that Loki was wearing the same clothes (the tunic kept under his armor and a pair of leathers) that he had since he was brought to the tower. Perhaps if he was provided something new they would make Loki feel himself again. Thor will go out and purchase such clothing in the morning.
He tries to remember what Loki’s preferences had been before and starts to make a list.
