I ought to forge a crown for you, wrought from ivory and obsidian from the mightiest titans of the universe. As God's older than our Esther once did. And it still would not be enough to express how you possess my heart.

Re: Thor
Re: Thor
I do love you.
Re: Thor
You're all that's enough. I promise.
Re: Thor

Re: Thor
Re: Thor
[ yeah loki catnaps in "his" room every so often he gets it ]

Re: Thor
Re: Thor

Re: Thor
[ das what they're there for ]
You're all I need.
