RP post: sandbox side continuity with reindeer-games!Loki in -- in the forge

[ostro_goth]

Teja is in the forge, cleaning up shelves and throwing away notes of past projects, and broken things.

Paper goes in the fire, metal goes into the crucible.

While he does so, the Goth is deeply worried, and broods. There has never been such a dangerous being in the cells as Loki is. If Teja could only hate him, then there would be much less reason for this gnawing dread in his heart. But Teja respects Loki still, as a god of his people, and one that the tales have dealt a harsh and unfair deal, at that.

Teja would see him redeemed, and stand out in the sun and know that he is free in this place: - not a god and ruler, but free from his bonds, like any other.

But chances are, if any takes down the magic barrier, and opens that cage, then this place is doomed yet again from the uncontrollable rage of a completely crazed god.

Teja would give him a chance, but cannot risk endangering all whose safety is his duty.

At least, the god was reading the last time Teja checked, from afar.

There is none here that Teja knows of, none! that might tell with any certainty when it may be safe to let Loki go. For what healer of broken minds may gauge a god??

Teja sighs deeply, his heart filled with pity, and throws another page of provisional book-keeping upon the fire.

"True, but the scale and scope of that can be changed. He's in pain and full of anger and needs to be shown there are other ways to approach relationships."

[ostro_goth]

"I know not that relationship is the right word here," Teja says. "He does not see any others in relation to himself, except so far down he can hardly see them."

[balancingminds]

"There is no other word to use. All interactions are at their heart relationships, which require building connections and trust."

[ostro_goth]

"We have bitten off a thing that will take quite some time to chew," Teja says. "But yes, that should not deter me or you."

[balancingminds]

"Yes, as I said before this will take time but I think he can change."

[ostro_goth]

Teja nods.

"Would you have tea, as long as the rain lasts?" he offers.

[balancingminds]

"Thank you, yes," Then he'll go inside and face the problems waiting in his world.
