FORWARD DATED TO THE 30TH. VIDEO. UN: LOKI

[selfimage]

[ standing amid the outer rim of the forest are two (possibly) familiar looking godlings. the one with the long hair is smoking a cigarette and pointedly ignoring the events transpiring in front of him, while the younger one clad ostentatiously in green enamel scales and a golden diadem seems to be giving the stink eye to an innocent looking pigeon.

the dark haired green one shakes his finger, flicking away some dried blood. ]

Ah—do we declare a state of emergency? [ he drawls with a sigh, bright green eyes fixing back on the camera. ] Before the I told you sos begin, we're missing one very volatile halfling mage. It seems that he's consorting with demons and the like.

Please return him if you see him, and try not to kill him.

[Back to the elusive Arthur.....and the mysterious Ahad.]

He's been well-hidden lately. It won't be easily tracking him down.

[dailydouble]

My methods are rather unique. If he has any familial feelings, I will be able to locate him.

[strictdiscipline]

'Familial feelings'?

[An echo of his words, largely because they make no sense to her in the context of the message.]

[dailydouble]

[ Well, he had hoped that she wouldn't question it. Now he'll have to explain something, at least. ]

If he cares for his brother. I am...sensitive to that.

[strictdiscipline]

[Sorry to disappoint, Ahad. If it's any comfort, the true nature of what he can do doesn't register fully on her and as interesting as it.]

Another type of magic?

[She'd believe him if he said yes.]

[dailydouble]

That's close enough, to what it is.

[ There are enough that consider gods to be magical beings, for him to get away with agreeing. ]

[strictdiscipline]

[One more question then, before she releases him back into his preferred comfort zone.]

How do you distinguish between Arthur's feelings and those of others around this place?

[dailydouble]

[ He blinks, initially unsure of how to answer the question. ]

I focus. [ It's as simple as that. ]

[strictdiscipline]

[Well, yes, but—]

And that allows you to distinguish Arthur's feelings for his brother from one of the townsfolk who might feel strongly about their sibling?

[dailydouble]

Does everyone feel the same about their siblings? I've had enough exposure to Michel and Arthur to feel the difference.

[strictdiscipline]

I wouldn't know., I've never had siblings.

[Not that she feels strongly one way or another about the subject. That's hardly a fact she can change now.]

I'll take your word for it though.
