Just a bit boring lately, is it not?

No worries, fair citizens of the Port. Portians. Porters? Either way, entertainment might be- ah- forthcoming.

If I fix it, do I still have to apologize? [He hates apologizing. And he's not really sure he can summon sincere.]

Fine. I shall not turn him into a fruit.

[Audio | Private]

[magnetic_magpie]

Yes you still have to apologize. [Life lesson kiddo.]

You'll leave him be.

[Audio | Private]

[doeswhathewants]

I am not entirely sure how sincere it will be. [He's just being honest.]

So long as he leaves me be.

Imagine being in his situation - someone picking on you, knowing you cannot fight back, about something you cannot control, because they are bored. And keep thinking on it until you can summon some sincerity.

[You are making him pull out Dad-voice Loki. Look what you did.]

I'll see that he does.

[Audio | Private]

[doeswhathewants]

....I might be able to summon a touch of sincerity. [The Dad voice combined with Jubes' disappointment ... he's just going to go live under a rock for a little while.]

Good.

[Wait until Mommy-taichou finds out.]

[His life is over. He cannot handle this much actual guilt. Nooo.]

[magnetic_magpie]

[Don't misunderstand - they still love you. But being a bully is wrong and they want that lesson to stick.]

[He's just going to be in his room. Staring at the wall. For a while.]

[magnetic_magpie]

[Good. He'll come check on you in a few hours.]

[Audio | Private]

[doeswhathewants]

[He'll be here.

Sulking.]

[magnetic_magpie]

[About three hours later, there he is, knocking.]

Loki?

*action

[doeswhathewants]

[Just the sulkiest tone ever] Come in.

[And the sulk is strong with this one, sitting on his bed looking chastised.]

*action

[magnetic_magpie]

[Magneto walks in, sitting down beside Loki, hands resting on his knees.]

How has the rest of the evening gone?

*action

[doeswhathewants]

Devastating. [Said with all the teenage conviction that things will never be okay because people are disappointed in him. Which means they expected better of him in the first place. Which means ... a lot.]

*action

[magnetic_magpie]

[He reaches over to put his arm around Loki's shoulders. They do expect better. But Magneto knows what it is to have to start over, to try to find a better path than the past, and he knows what it is to fail.]

About what I expected then.
