[ for a moment, nico's eyes close, his brows furrowing as if he's warring against something within him. he is. it's his grief he's fighting and though nothing can bring his sister back, loki's words breathe life into a realization that nico has never had before. he recalls what he knows of loki's past and understands, then, that loki is speaking from a place of experience. how many times has loki been reborn as someone new? after the old man was the boy and now the young god that sits before him. if anyone knows what rebirth means, it's him.
slowly unwinding from his position, he crawls towards loki. six months ago, he wouldn't have been able to bring himself to do this because six months ago, he was still struggling with accepting who he is. now, he can cast aside the doubts and fears about being accepted because he knows he is. so he reaches for loki's free hand and entwines their fingers. ]
Father wouldn't appreciate that much you know. [ wryly spoken as he shyly looks up at the godling. ] Thank you.
