Connected to the theft of our names, perhaps...

[survivaltricks]

. . . and it means re-summoning that ram demon and beating it up is out of the question.

Figures.

[the simplest solution is not the correct solution 8(]

[literal_trainwreck]

For now.

[pauses]

We're about to see more death from now on. Death that we won't be able to reverse.

[survivaltricks]

[sitting up again, leaning back on his hands]

I don't think Blossom is stupid enough to try asking that— that thing— for any more favors.

[which is a roundabout way of saying he is not accepting that as truth just yet]

[literal_trainwreck]

The beast and its little pink puppet aren't the only things that can kill. We will need to strategize accordingly.

[no avoiding it!!]

[survivaltricks]

[. . . oh]

[his fingers curl into fists]

Are you suggesting the other groups might go after each other? For no reason?

[literal_trainwreck]

I hadn't intended to imply anything so specific, but it's naive of you to think they won't be given reasons.

[survivaltricks]

[he wishes he could argue, but--]

[. . .]

[a sigh, and Lupin rakes his fingers through his hair, a visible show of frustration]

So what would you have me do, then?

[literal_trainwreck]

[dead serious]

Whatever you need to.

[survivaltricks]

[. . .]

I'll protect the members of this team. I've already made that promise to Odin, and I'll make it to you, too.

[especially in the wake of-- well. whatever happened with Blossom and the ram demon]

[but he stops himself there, because he isn't about to acknowledge that he may have to harm someone else to do it]

[literal_trainwreck]

[Loki gets what's going on there, but deems there no need to push him any further]

...Good.

For my own part, I intend to see this through to the end.

[survivaltricks]

[a wry, lopsided smile at that]

Somehow, hearing you say that is comforting.

[literal_trainwreck]

I should hope so. You know better than anyone what I can do.

[survivaltricks]

[he isn't saying that because Loki is capable (although that does make him a good ally), but he won't point that out aloud]

[a small wave of his hand]

What do you think of the rest of our team so far?

[are u making friends]

[literal_trainwreck]

They seem useful enough. I don't foresee any issues in working with them.

[a high compliment]

[survivaltricks]

[FROM SOMEONE LIKE LOKI. . . YES]

[he is making friends]

Good.

I like them.

[literal_trainwreck]

You've never been especially discriminating.

[can't say there's no bite, but less bite than usual]

[survivaltricks]

[no offense taken at all. in fact, he seems amused]

I'm discriminating when I need to be.
