[Thor had not seen Loki this happy or content since they were much, much younger. Before war spoils and things got in the way. Loki when it was just them, side by side forever like he thought it would have been, like it should have been. Loki here, now, seemed happy in some way. He seemed at peace. If that meant staying here forever, Thor was not going to disrupt his brother. Not when he has this.]

Time is like the ocean. It never stays still. It's constant. Some things move through it, some move over it. Nothing stays still forever.

[Thor looked over at his brother, leaning in to gently nudge him, shoulder to shoulder. He wanted to take a portrait of Loki just like this, smiling, so that he could remember it forever. Heroics, he snorted at Loki's usage of the word.]

I am no hero, Loki. I failed. I could not save Asgard. I could not save you. I am not a hero. [Reaching over, Thor patted his brother's shoulder.] But you are here, Loki. For that, I have no reason to leave.
