I do not believe that to be true. It cannot be. [Because if it were, then there really as no redemption for Loki. Part of him recognizes that this is a rather selfish thought process, but he can’t help himself. All he’s known of Ethan, other than the attack of course, is that he is a nice man who Loki has enjoyed spending time with. Loki is very new to friendship and he is loathe to give any up. Especially since Hob isn’t angry with him either. If the actual victim is forgiving, then that’s all Loki needs.]
And if you were a complete monster, would I be stand here trying to speak with you instead of simply killing you where you stand? Would my, as you call him, gentleman caller be asking me not to do such things to you? Yes, you have some sort of condition that makes you do terrible things, but that does not make you terrible. [He stops for a moment there because Hob doesn’t truly know him like that, doesn’t know what he’s done, what he’s capable of.]
May I ask, have people you cared for, that were truly close with you, left when they found out about your condition? Or do they stick by you and try to help you contain the beast? [Partially he’s making a point, but it is also an honest question. He needs to know, if he tells Hob about his past, what is the likelihood he’ll still want him around?]
You see? After only a few months, there are people here that want to help you. Even I, who dare I say have a wicked temper, want to help you. I thank you for the tip on the silver, but I hope to never have to use it.
[He’s about to continue when Ethan moves and is suddenly on his knees. Loki quickly moves to him, now placing his hand on Ethan’s shoulder as he had intended to do to him.] Perhaps I should help you back inside. I did not realize you were wounded as well.
