Loki glared at the journal, then shook his head. Asking Thor that particular what-if had been a mistake, and he'd realized it immediately after writing it. It was annoying, though, being asked the same question over and over again, as if the answer was going to change the twentieth-plus time. And it had never really stopped being concerning, verging on worrying, how clingy his brother tended to get, lately.

They'd been in battle before. Loki had even been injured before. It hadn't led to endless repetitions of ARE YOU OKAY before. One, maybe, immediately after the battle. But not... this.

A good indicator of how upset Thor really was: would he use the door or make a hole in the wall?

Either way, Loki wasn't actually in his room at all. He was on the roof above his room with his journal, a thoroughly non-magical blank book slowly filling up with astronomical observations and other thoughts, and a pen.

It takes some time for Thor to find him; he did bang on the door for a minute or two until he eventually just ported inside using the combined powers of Stormbreaker and the Bifrost. He wasn't there. He'd even checked the wardrobe. Not to make sure he wasn't hidden in there, but to be sure that Loki hadn't simply transformed himself into the wardrobe.

He had not.

Thor ported from place-to-place, going to all the places his brother frequented; eventually, he ran through the list and started looking other places: the pool, the stables, and then finally the roof.

"Found you!" he exclaims, just as the rainbow light dissolves from around him. He promptly sits down next to Loki and steeples his legs in front of him like a boy. He gives his brother a light punch in the shoulder.
