"...lovely," he repeated dimly.
Fandral sank himself into some Midgardian furniture.

"You know, sort of little picture-receiving box. Very primitive, really, but they do try."
He glanced over his shoulder at Fandral.
"Mind your sword. That's real leather."

"I'm not of a mind to mind my sword. I might in fact not mind my sword very near your head in a moment."
His grip on the leather armchair was tight and impatient.

"What was it you wanted to discuss?" Loki said lightly. "Would you like a drink? Honestly, it's not good for much but the taste, but it might be better than nothing."

"...yes," he asked, after a pointed moment and a sharp glare. Things were very intense. He wondered if perhaps he should have sent Volstagg after all.

He went into the kitchen for a moment and returned with an entire bottle of whipped cream flavored vodka.
"Drink up."

Fandral looked at it suspiciously, peered at the front, and then tried it.
His expression was a wince followed by a nonverbal 'not bad'.
"So... it would seem you have some groveling to do, Loki."

"I've already allotted the recommended dose of it to Sif," Loki said, sitting opposite him, splay-legged. "You see, I might have been completely uncaring at the time whether any of you lived or died, but... well, Sif had already suffered at my hands before that. I have to prioritize."

Loki reached toward the bottle himself, but then decided not to and leaned back, studying him a little.
"Was that meant as a comfort, what you said back there about Laufey being the least repellent of them?" he said, voice betraying all the brittleness he was keeping carefully out of his facial expression.

"Well, you must admit, he's got more of a... proper shape, or he had. I understand you killed him. That should have been the extent of it there, don't you think?"

"I had to adapt as things moved along," Loki said, averting his eyes. "I... apologize that you were involved."

"But not that Thor was," said Fandral, temper rising a bit. "After everything you did, do you know how he mourned you? That's what's unforgiveable. Not that we were incidental. That your intention was to kill Thor! Out of every soul in Asgard save your mother, the one who loved you most. To gain power?"

"Power didn't have anything to do with it!" Loki snapped, suddenly facing him again with wild, hollow eyes. "I never intended to keep the throne- Odin was supposed to wake up after I'd handled everything-"
