"Perhaps. But I have done terrible things. I had reasons that made sense for them to me, but I was angry and hurt and confused and scared. Then I went into even worse situations, but have somehow come through it all. Thor and I are...better. Somewhat."

Though Loki tilted his head a bit, as he looked at Kaiba. "Thank you." A pause, and then back to story-telling. "Odin fell into his odinsleep--a state where he must have his body rest to restore his power. He'd been putting it off for so long anyways. Shortly after I confronted him. Mother and I weren't sure when, or even if, he'd awaken."

Now he raised that hand from the water and scrubbed it down his face. "I never wanted the throne initially. It was offered, while Father was asleep--but I wasn't sure I should accept. Mother convinced me, and then...well. Then I wanted to just prove that I could stand with Thor, or Father. To make Odin proud. I was not much better than my brother really."
