[Loki rolls his eyes and crosses his arms over his chest as he continues to glare. Everything Ethan says merely makes Loki dislike himself more. Or at least dislike how he had dealt with similar situations. He finds himself wanting to be more like Ethan and considering he’s still quite angry that Hob was injured, that is causing quite the amount of inner conflict and turmoil. He starts to pace as he begins to speak in return.]
I did not think you meant to deter my anger, and that is part of the problem. I can see you really mean this, that you feel awful about what you have done. You are consumed with guilt, that much is obvious. And just how do you do it? I do not understand. [The frustration, on top of everything else, is now also clear.]
That’s just it! I know nothing of the sort! The things I have done in my life, the people I have hurt by sheer numbers would make what you’ve done look like child’s play. On top of that, you try to make amends, you attempt to apologize. Whereas I only managed to make matters worse. I cannot, in good faith, punish you when I did so much worse. I just… I cannot have this happen again. I know you attempted to thwart this before, but clearly that did not happen. We must come up with a plan to avoid this ever happening again because next time, a simple promise to those I care for will not stop me from tearing you apart.
[Loki stops and runs a hand over his face. He feels tired, exhausted really. He hasn’t been sleeping well at all an it is only getting worse, but this conversation has really worn him out.] If you do not deserve forgiveness for what you could not control, then I do not deserve anything I have for what I did of my own volition.
