Ky’s excuse is met with a weary sigh, brows sinks above his eyes until they furrowed in irritation, a wave of fresh annoyance washing over his face. If the reason for why Ky wasn’t there could be attributed to Mephisto’s instruction, Thor thought to censure the devil about it at a later time, show him a sample of the maddening rage that consumed him in his grief. Berating him for not letting his grandchild experience a war which put reality itself in the crosshairs.
Had he been placid before, Thor abandoned such ways in favour of reprisal. Visualising ways with which he could next attack Thanos whilst keeping him alive, the thunderer’s gaze snapped to Ky when he mentioned his brother. Had he said anything extra after ‘kill you again’, he didn’t hear it. For talking ill of his deceased brother had brought the god to his feet, a menacing gleam in his eyes as bruised hands clamped around the half-breed’s throat.
“Speak poorly of Loki again and I won’t hesitate to rip your head off.” Jaws locked together, Thor’s voice was calm, but laced with a dangerous undertone. Changed by his misfortunes, he resembled a powder-keg; fit to explode should the wrong words be said aloud. “You know nothing of his final moments. Of the courage he showed when staring at the face of his own death.”
Pressure increasing around Ky’s neck, Thor’s hold eventually slackened, his mind realising what he was about to do. Appalled, he releases the man, stumbling backwards whilst staring at his own hands. He almost didn’t recognise them.
“That will not be an easy task. With all of the infinity stones in his possession, he could have gone anywhere.”
it was a reaction he didn’t expect. not truly at least. all ky knew about the situation was that it was dire and that nothing could change it for the moment. not unless they found thanos, bargained with him, and brought people back. truth be told, he didn’t care about the universe, but bringing back everyone on earth? yes, he would enjoy doing that – become a hero…. even if such a thing was beneath him in all regards.
still, ky would have took death to be a blessing; if he could die that easily. if only… maybe he wouldn’t have been around that long, but all the same, a smirk spread across his lips as his throat was squeezed. something had happened. that much was clear – even as the grin formed, he knew that much. if he had the ability to laugh, he would have, and maybe even changed into his true form just out of spite.
however, he knew this wasn’t the time… nor place for this. not now, not when all he wanted to do was figure out how to reverse this. well, attempt to reverse a good portion of the damage at least.
a reason to why the moment he was let go, he lifted an eyebrow, and rubbed at his neck. he wanted to ask more about what had happened, but just by mentioning his brothers name… he knew that it wasn’t going to be an easy task. nor a clean one at the very least.
“i didn’t mean any disrespect.” a lie, he fully did, but ky also knew what loki was capable of. though, he decided to drop the subject for the time being. “it’s just that what i know of the situation is limited.” he might have watched things from his grandfathers realm, but he didn’t know everything. not really.
“i’m,” a deep breath escaped his lips, “i hate to say it, but i’m on your side… for this.” rather, ky was willing to put aside his violence towards the god of thunder. at least for the time being.
