Status: Private? (Loki, War)
Setting: Corridor outside War's room
Summary: Loki wants to talk to a friend
There was too much bothering Loki lately, his nightmares, Gabriel's warnings about dreams, his illness becoming common knowledge - well, knowledge of two people he wasn't sure he could trust to keep his secret - and the presence of that other who clearly wasn't himself. Sometimes he felt like just grabbing his backpack and leaving it all behind, but he didn't think it would really solve anything. Dreams found you wherever you were, Gabriel and the other would still know, still be able to tell, if he wasn't around and the other would still exist even if Loki weren't here to see him. Besides he had a free room close enough to London that he could see his doctor whenever he needed to. It was practical to stay.
He missed having someone to talk to, though. Maybe talking would help to sort it all out. If only Odin were here!
But he couldn't let Odin know about the cancer anyway. That was the whole point of keeping it secret. No, the only person he could really talk to about all of this was ... actually just a few steps down the corridor from him, but somehow he hadn't been able to catch her alone since her return from her latest business trip. It was time to do something about that, Loki decided and instead of going on down to the bar as he'd planned stopped outside War's door and knocked. Hopefully she was home.
