"You don't know what I think," Loki tells her gently. "Not really. I'm the god of lies. You know what I've told you I think. What I have said, I have said in good faith--I often do speak in good faith, even when I tell only a partial truth--but I rarely tell anyone the full scope of what's going on in my head."

"You must follow the call of your nature. I understand that. We are what we are. I only seek to remind you that not all sacrifices are needed. Living is often a better solution to a problem than dying. Even temporarily."
