No, she's Leah. That doesn't change the fact that Hela was Leah, and I see no reason to blame her for my actions. I'd like to help her, rather. All of them.
I've asked Loki if it would be alright if I didn't return with the rest of you, once we figure out the nature of this dimensional spell, obvi. Instead, I want to travel to the ancient past, when stories were still new.
That's where I sent Leah before I died. She hated me for that... [Despite the subject matter, Loki's smiling as he speaks of her.] But I thought, if I went back with her, even if I couldn't be Loki anymore, at least she wouldn't be alone.
You would give up your place in the larger story for her?
[ It's the kind of hopelessly romantic thing that perhaps she should expect from a child. But then, isn't his role in the story over and done with at this point? ]
[His expression is serious and resolute, a rarity for Loki. But it’s clear he’s telling the truth and though he has the stories to prove it, he doesn’t feel the need to ramble on as he usually does. His word should be enough.]
[ It's very romantic, and earnest. But Angela worries about a boy so young devoting himself so wholly to a girl, that he would abandon all other freedoms for her. ]
And if you arrive in the distant past, and she does not care to see you? What if she does not appreciate your sacrifice?
I don't care if she hates me, she has every right to. I only... I want to make sure she's not alone. And I want to tell her that I'm sorry, and that I lied.
And once it does, Leah and I shall live happily ever after as Asgard's Number One Couple!
[He needed to do something to lighten the mood, okay.]
I actually told Ikol this before, but it's not about the kissing at all. Leah and I are... I'm not sure how to explain it. It sounds far too tropey to claim we're the only ones who truly understand each other. Still, we are fiction so perhaps it's fitting that we stick to our tropes.
Ikol used to- When he was a rude little bird, I mean. It sounds strange to imagine the grown man you and I know doing this now, but he would tease me about how my past self was much better with woman.
And when Leah... when she returned to Hela’s form, Ikol’s way of comforting me was reminding me that a romantic relationship was problematic if the myths ended up being true. As if that’s all she was to me.
I cannot speak to how Ikol was as a bird, as I was not there to witness it. But it seems to me, he had a rather simplistic view of things.
[ She wishes they were having this conversation in person, rather than over the distance of a phone connection, so that she may take her littlest brother in her arms and hug him. He is trouble, of course he is, but he is also innocent and she worries that his heart may be broken someday. ]
Love is many things, but never simple. It takes many forms, which is something you, as Loki, should know well.

No, it wasn't Karnilla. She is co-ruler of Hel now, having wedded Hela.

Same as the Thor here is my brother, even if he's a thousand years or so older than the one I remember.

This is a noble intention, Loki. I hope that you are able to see it come to fruition safely.

I do not know what you have been told, but love is not all about the kissing. There is much more to it than that.

[Loki that’s not what she meant]
While still being love at its core.

That is not what I meant. I mean that love does not always have to be about romance or sex. There are many ways to connect to someone in intimacy.
You love Thor, do you not? That is a familial love. One of love's many forms.
