Loki made an indistinct sound and swiftly produced a knife from somewhere inside his mantle.

Fandral made an involuntary sound of shock, or possibly of being very into it.

"Shut up-" Loki snapped hoarsely. He sounded panicked, and was shaking pretty badly.
He cast the knife down as quickly as he'd produced it and dragged himself off, looking like a spooked animal.

Fandral sat up, looking concernedly after him. "It's not going to help if I touch you, is it?"

"I don't know," he shouted, rasping with panic. "I don't know what I want, other than to get away from all of this-"

"Should I leave?"

"I did care, you know," he muttered.

"Now, or then?"

He stopped and tried to catch his breath. It didn't do a lot of good.
"I was happy then. I could throw myself into it and forget everything else. I could forget myself. That was always the trouble- no matter what I did, I was still myself."
He made a miserable gesture toward Fandral.
"I played at being your maiden. It was happier than being myself, even then."

"Loki," he said softly, internally beginning to be extremely fearful of what was going to happen. The last time Loki had had an identity crisis it hadn't gone well for any of them.
But he no longer felt certain Loki would violently shrug him off, so he very gently put an arm over his shoulders.
"All those who love you love you for your own sake, you know."
He wanted to bring the fiancee up and perhaps urge him to speak with her, but he realized given what had just transpired between them, they hadn't even been thinking of her. This would probably only cause Loki to react even worse.

"Do they?" he said, looking back at Fandral again, finally. "I have been playing at being Thor."

He decided to do it as it was the only aspect of Loki's life that was not tainted by Asgard.
"And your fiancee, does she love Thor or does she love you?"

"Well, she doesn't love Thor," he said, with a resigned laugh as he clasped his own hands together.

Fandral leaned back and paused, letting out a shaky laughing exhale of breath he had not realized he was holding.

"I swear that this is not how I intended that today might go," said Loki, laughing now because he did not know what else to do.
