^{The very mention of a family member had him pause. Thor couldn’t think of anyone in his family who would align themselves with a demon. His parents wouldn’t be so reckless, and his brother might have considered dabbling with darker magic, but he was confident that Loki wouldn’t betray them like that. He was about to dismiss that claim when he caught Heimdall’s eye, and the slight downwards dip of the head told him that he shouldn’t take the stranger’s words lightly.} 

                   ^{“And who would willingly choose your side? You spoke of
                    bringing harm to my people in search of this relic. Why
                    should I trust the word of one who brings potential death
                    to my people?”}

^{He might not have seen the point in continuing this conversation, but there was something in the stranger’s words that made him curious. He wanted to know WHO the stranger was referring to. He’d heard of threats coming from within, but the possibility of that threat coming from his family was something he hadn’t expected. Thor might have ignored that bluff if he hadn’t had thought of how Loki tended to align himself with morally grey characters. He hated himself for doubting his brother, but he needed to be sure.}

            _{“you shouldn’t. no one should.”}

_{ky’lar wasn’t going to give into lies. doing so would have lead to more questions and the possibility of landing himself in a cell. he used every single possible resource to get here; to actually step forth on a place that was known as myth. not that it mattered now, this conversation was getting… nowhere in his mind, and it was why he had to up the stakes. at least slightly.}

             _{“trusting me is mistake.”}

_{one that no one would soon forget. a reason to why he was making sure thor knew exactly who he was dealing with. not out of intimidation, but rather out of the safety of others. he may have thought himself above such petty things as morality, but addressing the facts was in everyone’s best interests. including his own.}

                _{“however, if given the chance… i can be quite persuasive.”}

_{among other things, but he wasn’t about to say that now. not when he knew there was a very high likely chance that he would be dumped on a random planet. or worse… sent back home. all the same, he knew there was no avoiding it. not now at least.}

                     _{“i can assure you of that.”}
