I see...

Well, there's nothing you can learn in a classroom that you can't learn better on your own. I could probably tutor you if you had some topic of special interest.

Nah, no need. I know everything I need to know to get by already.

[He most certainly does not.]

I suppose that's probably true around here.

it's true everywhere. I know how to read- [Not fluently] -and I know enough math- [Not nearly enough] -and that's pretty much all you need for day-to-day living.

[doubt]

That's enough to survive on, but is there anything you'd like to learn beyond raw practicality?

[He actually thinks about this for a long time, because there IS an answer but it cuts a bit deeper than he'd wanted to reveal to anyone.]

...how to keep from getting blackmailed into doing stupid shit, maybe?

[Loki did see that first memory, so he should have some context for it.]

That's... a tricky one. Generally the best way is to get on the other side of it and be the one doing the blackmailing.

But I don't usually go around diggin' up blackmail. I just want me and my people to be left alone.

That's all the more reason to go on the offensive. You'll need every advantage you can get.

So...blackmailing people to stay the fuck away? Is it really that easy?

Keeping tabs on your enemies is never easy. But eventually it starts to become fun.

[Ah. This is unhinged Loki speaking. Alright.]

Well, thanks for the tip. We'll see how well I can do that.

[Usually his temper gets to him before he can blackmail.]

[shrugs]

I'm always happy to give real tips if the situation ever arises. You could say I have something of a knack for gathering intel.
