I assume Thor told you?

[st_ratagem]

Thor tells me a lot of things, I tune most of them out. You’ll have to be specific.

[st_arkintern]

About the marriage thing.

[st_ratagem]

Ah, that. Yes. What of it?

[st_arkintern]

Well, isn't that kinda going to make you my uncle?

[st_ratagem]

Norns, no. Why would it?

[st_arkintern]

Because my dad and your brother are getting married?

[st_ratagem]

I propose the two adoptions cancel each other out. Alternatively I assure you there’s very little chance I’ll ever consider Stark my brother.

Two escape routes, take your pick.

[st_arkintern]

Thor already told me I should call you Uncle Loki.

[st_ratagem]

Thor is a troll. Do not do that.

[st_arkintern]

If I don't call you Uncle Loki, can you answer a few questions for me?

[st_ratagem]

That depends entirely on the questions.

[st_arkintern]

Why did you attack New York?

[st_ratagem]

What, specifically? As in why not a different city?

Psychological reasons mostly. No one actually cares if you invade Stuttgart, as a less than random example.

[st_arkintern]

No, not why New York specifically. Why you attacked Earth at all.

[st_ratagem]

I saw no good reason not to.

[st_arkintern]

Doesn't it seem like a lot of effort to do something for the sole reason of "there was no reason not to"?

[st_ratagem]

That’s the only reason anyone does anything in my view: no good reason not to.

Here’s a question: why does it matter? I promise you won’t find my reasons sufficient. Why should you? I unleashed devastating force on your home.

If the same circumstances came ‘round again, the only thing I’d do differently is make fewer mistakes.

[st_arkintern]

Also people cared that Stuttgart was attacked.

[st_ratagem]

And yet, even you asked about New York only.

[st_arkintern]

I live there.

[st_arkintern]

And Puente Antiguo.

[st_ratagem]

Is that what the place was called?

[st_arkintern]

Yeah.

So why do it?

[st_ratagem]

I wanted Thor dead. It didn’t work out, of course. The town was meaningless.
