[Action, November 21]

[Teddy glances up from his sandwich to give a half smile.]

Just don't overdo it, okay? He got really overwhelmed with everyone telling him he should get back into it the day he said he was done. [He sets the food down for the moment, instead raising his hand a bit to gesture lightly as he speaks.] I do want him to get back into it again, but only on his own terms. That's why I told him I was okay with whatever he decided to do. I wasn't saying I was totally fine with him giving it up. But that I'll stand by him no matter what choices he makes, and I'll try to help him make the right ones. When he's okay enough to be making them.

But we both know he will never actually feel ready.

[He gives Teddy a crooked smile.]

One never does.

You're right about that.

But he can be less scared. More comfortable with himself. Right now, he's not... either of those things. [Teddy doesn't show much emotion with Loki, but right now, he casts his eyes downward, expression showing all his concern and solemness.] He just needs to recover as a person before he can recover with his powers.

[Loki idly draw patterns on the tabletop with one finger.]

He's a magician, Teddy. The idea that he is at all separate from his powers is an illusion. We are not men who happen to have magic. It is our blood.

[He shrugs.] But perhaps it is an illusion that will do him good in the short term.
