Before the battle, Loki has something to say to you..... Contains: Confessions, Kissing, Encouragement NOTE:This is an old Patreon Exclusive audio from 2021 that I've released to the public, so the sound quality along with the character voice is different from current audios! ~Audio Transcript Below~ Loki: May I have a word with you? -pause- Alone? Come.....it won't take much time.....but I prefer it to be a private conversation...... -longer pause- Have a seat...... -deep sigh- I'm......as alright as I will be......for now....... -pause- May I....take your hands? Thank you....... -soft kiss- -inhales deeply- For most of my life I've never quite been afraid of what's to come.....of what becomes of me.....It's always.....been about my own safety, my own concern....and now.....I find myself entrenched with more...... I've never needed the time to stop and think hard  about the consequences of my actions, because in the long run, while it may not always work out as I plan.....I've gotten quite good at surviving things I shouldn't have..... I don't know if that's the case anymore......It isn't.....the case.... -pause- It concerns you.....because you are the one to have changed my mind on the subject....... Please.....before you say more.....allow me to say my piece...... I fear as though if I don't speak on it now, it will consume me completely. It already feels as though it's taking up my entire being.....and I need to expel it....no matter how it's received...... -pause- -chuckles- I suppose what I feel is fear.....a fear that I have not felt before.....well....at least in this capacity..... -pause- ......Rejection...... -deep, shuddering breath- May I kiss your hands again? -softly- Thank you...... -soft kiss- Holding your hands.....touching you....it grounds me.....it's kept---it keeps me strong...... -chuckles weakly- I may perhaps be stalling.....but.......I suppose what's coming is inevitable......and if we are parted.....by temporary or.....more permanent means.....I do not wish it to be without saying what I need to say...... -deep breath- -a whisper- I love you.......quite ardently..... -pause- -breathless laugh- I confess my love for you, and the first thing you say is that what I've said reminds you of a character from a book? -sighs softly- That is.......just like you..... So....unexpected a reaction and yet I find......that it makes perfect sense.....how you live life....the way that you tackle things.....the way that you see the world around you, never fails to astound me.....to take my breath away...... I suppose that's part of the reason I fell in love with you...... -pause- Yes I was serious about that......quite. -pause- You don't need to say anything at all.......unless you would like me to release your hands.....and that you don't return my affections, I wouldn't want to-- -gasps into a kiss- -pulls away softly panting- You--? -chuckles softly- I suppose.....the idea of possible impending doom.....puts to light the true longing one feels in their soul...... Here we are.....two fools who spent too long tip-toeing around one another...... -pause- May I have another kiss? One I'm prepared to give and receive? -chuckles into kiss- I'm afraid that now you've allowed me this....I will be insatiable......never have one's lips felt so good against my own....so....correct.....as if this were...... -kiss- -through a smile- The sheer joy I feel in this moment is.......ineffable.....I cannot......you've rendered the trickster god with the tongue of silver......useless..... -pause- Oh but in the best way...... -pause- I suppose we'll just have to survive.....for one another.....for ourselves.....I came into this thinking pessimistically I must admit......that you would reject me.....but then I would be free to be reckless and whatever happened to me.....happened However now.....I find myself....motivated.....in a way that hasn't touched me in......what feels like centuries...... I want to go out there and......win.......not just for me.....but......for us...... I feel bolstered....as if......our coming together has given me wings with which to fly....... I want us to walk away from this......and go home.....together....... -kiss- Together.....from this day forward we are no longer separate.....we are together......and they will have to take it from us.....and it will not be easy........ We are powerful and dangerous apart.....but together.....I feel as though we are.....Unstoppable...... -kiss- I love you.......
