I just love using anger as a coping mechanism instead of letting myself feel sad cause thats Pathetic™
Such assurance, however slight, is received positively. Thor finds reason to smile, though the gesture is strained and burdened with the weight of loss. “Nor do I,” he echoes, if out of a need to let the universe know that the god of thunder has no plans to reunite with his loved ones in Valhalla. He could never bear the agony of meeting with them again, until he’d made good on his promise to avenge them.
A sight nod is given to show that he had heard Ky’lar’s remark, after which his attention shifts from the trivialities of conversation to taking action. His eyes light up with a blinding energy, sensitive to each charged atom that floats in the air around them as he holds the axe aloft. He’d observe Heimdall initiate the Bifrost’s teleportation power plenty of times before, but had only called upon it a few times himself.
Within seconds, a torrent of light washes over the duo, carting them off to some faraway place. Thor knew that the bridge needed a fixed destination in order to operation, so he had thought of the furthest star system away from the Earth that he knew of and set course for it. A system that was as insidious and light deprived as the baneful thoughts that currently sought to overtake the benevolent deity’s typically approachable demeanour.
The power of the Bifrost was something Ky hadn’t experienced before. True, he’d been through other means of travel, but nothing like this. If Ky was a bit younger, he would have been asked several questions about it, and how it worked. The only problem was now – being older – he knew that while it was amazing… somethings were best left unanswered. More so given their current circumstances.
While the trip went as planned, Ky had to admit he hadn’t been to many other worlds, and his knowledge of the universe as a whole was lacking. He’d been to Earth and most notably Mephisto’s realm. There had been some others, but nothing like this – or maybe he’d just forgotten what the others were like.
Still, to be so far from Earth… it was breathtaking – more so for Ky as there was a bit of curiosity there. He wanted to explore and to know how this world worked. Hell, he’d want to explore the entire place, but this wasn’t the time nor place for it. No, maybe next time, but not now.
Not when Thanos’ snap and Thor’s failure was still fresh in the God’s mind. Ky may have been cruel, but even he knew his limitations, and wasn’t going to cause something out here. Not when it was just the two of them; he didn’t have to put up an act out here. Nor did he believe it was necessary.
“You think it reached out here as well?” He asked, trying to at least get some sort of dialogue going. It may not have been the best thing to do at the moment, but Ky didn’t know much of what happened. Hell, he didn’t even want to know, and yet some part of him wished everything was just a dream. “—- it’s quiet.”
“ I have never done charity – never will. I might sometimes… decide to help, but that?” He rolled his eyes. “Yeah, no – I don’t care about them, their lives, or anything about them. If I decide to… let’s say save a few lives? That’s done due to the fact it’s needed – once i’m done? It’s up for fate to have the last laugh.” A pause. “As I told you before… i’m not a hero. Nor will i ever be.”
❛ can’t or won’t? ❜ he knew it was one of those two, but as to the exact one? he didn’t know. still, there was use in pressing the subject. ❛ there is a difference. ❜
now, that was the question wasn’t it? ky couldn’t exactly pin-point it at the moment, but he had an idea as to why. suppression of his tendencies was difficult – if he went too long, they started to show up again. he may not have been as strong as he claimed, but he was hoping to keep his hated , and anger in check for just another hour.
the only problem with that was he didn’t get the chance; he was already getting angry. white hot anger that wasn’t directed at teddy, but rather something else. something… he just couldn’t put a finger on at the moment. “— nothing.” a lie, he already wanted to rip their throat out just for asking, but he said he’d keep his cool… at least for a short while longer. “i’m fine… really.” another lie, but he doubted it mattered too much now.
“i just have a…. “ he let a deep sigh escape his lips. “it’s difficult to explain, but i’m fine. it will be fine.” or so he hoped at least…even if all evidence suggested otherwise.
He completely sealed when the other clenched, hand stopping in its tracks and only resuming it’s very gentle motion after he’d gotten the go ahead, “If you want you can lay your head in my lap and I can play with your hair. Feels nice I promise.”
When the motion was resumed, Ky leaned his head back lightly, but not all the way. No, he’d do that soon enough as his eyes closed for a few moments. “You should do this more often.” Or at least when he was able to – not that Ky would complain as long as Peter kept being gentle. “I might come to enjoy it.”
❝ do you need help finding something? you seem a little lost. ❞ more like out of place. that isn’t to say that she knew absolutely everyone around, but she took advantage of the times that her corner of oregon got sun, which meant that she had a pretty good sense of the typical crowd around her usual spots. shielding her eyes from the sunshine and putting her notebook back in her backpack, she smiled politely at him.
❝ you’re not bothering me i promise. already read over my notes on this book five times today. ❞ just in case he was a shy person that didn’t like asking for help and would further lie and say that they knew what they were doing to make sure they didn’t inconvenience someone. when jessica didn’t have a lot of studying to do, she made sure she knew her notes down to the punctuation to ensure a 100% on the quiz. especially literature. she loved reading, but hated all of the questions teachers asked.
out of place was one thing, but for ky… it was a usual day of the week. it had only been about a year or two since his life was thrown into shambles (quite literally) in some cases and moving around was easy – more so than anything else. if he stayed in one place too long, people started asking questions, and wanted to make him feel welcome. something that ky didn’t believe he needed. not now and certainly not ever.
“i’m not lost,” he said rubbing at his temples for a few moments. “far from it actually.” in-fact, he was running…. running away from everything. maybe he’d eventually find himself, but for now? no, he’d just keep going until he found what he was looking for – so far? he’d found squat, but maybe one day he’d find what he was looking for. just not today… just not here.
“— don’t you have school or something?” he then pulled out a bottle of whiskey from his bag. “maybe a boyfriend you can bother… unless you can point me in the direction of the oldest church or even graveyard in the area.”

* NERO WASN’T ENTIRELY SURE, why his brother angered this demon so much ( nor did he truly care !!) but even he couldn’t help but be amused at the way Ky’lar seemed dead set on killing his brother. ❛ uh huh , this will be a SPECTACLE. ❜ Nero was already reserving his spot with popcorn and a front row seat.
‘perhaps.’ it didn’t matter to ky; he just wanted the brother dead. that way, maybe he could prove he was worthy of a throne. maybe the throne in all reality, but for now, he’d settle on just some respect. true respect – not respect done out of his title alone. ‘only time will tell if it is a… spectacle.’
“Well, I’ll give you a hint about a majority of them. All they need is a leader, some powerful looking figure that can lead them like sheep. There’s only a handful of demons with actual opinions and ideas, like me.”
“They need a leader as they are simply meant take commands and follow orders.” A roll of his eyes – it felt like he’d been through this conversation several times before. For that exact matter… he sighed. “It doesn’t matter who leads them; most demons -even with brains- don’t think that far ahead.” He then snorted. “ Then we find ourselves in this pitiful situation. An idiot on the throne and then… just us.”
