Full monitoring? No, nothing's leaked yet.
But it doesn't have to be in full view to be potentially damaging.

[ maybe he just won't admit that he's hurt. ]

[fledges]

[Yeah, this sort of seems like more than just a friendly "watch what you say" warning.]

hey, what is this really about?

[ he's concerned he can't trust her with this, if she didn't think anything of it. what else doesn't she think anything of? it's not something he finds so easily approachable. ]

Which part is unclear?

[fledges]

i get that you want me to be more careful about what i say, but it seems like more than that. like something else is bothering you, too.

You divulged to someone who had their knife to my throat on a whim.
That's enough.

[ and the worst part? maybe he deserves it. ]

[fledges]

[Ah, crap.]

i'm sorry, loki. i really am.
i wasn't trying to share anything personal. i was mostly making fun of myself.
i get that i screwed up, though. i shouldn't have brought it up.

[ and he knows he can't ask for more, especially not from Kate. he was already tipping dangerously across the ice, trying to find the right places to put his feet. while he wasn't in Asgard, somehow this still all managed to follow him. ]

I know you weren't going for anything personal.
That's the worst part.

[ that it's a slip, and he could be revealed due to a misplaced joke. he's not sure if he's really mad at her or mad at himself. ]

[fledges]

oh, loki

[She feels absolutely terrible.]

it won't happen again, i promise you
no more slips
can i do anything to make it up to you?

[selfimage]

No.
I'll think of something, I'm sure.

[ but that sounds more dangerous than promising. ]

Perhaps Ojiro won't notice.

[ but he knew that Sniper was not one for oversights. there's something gratifying about taking a few steps closer to the pit and staring down over the edge of it, leaning with his feet over it. ]
