That's Not What Happened: An Asgardian’s Guide to Norse Mythology [Thursday, Period Three]
"HELLO, CHILDREN!" Thor boomed. "I hope today finds you well!
Today, we are going to discuss Bragi, whom your myths describe as the god of poetry! If we are being entirely honest, however, I would have associate Bragi most closely with... well, I believe the term would be 'bullshit'." Which was entirely different from mischief and lies, of course. But it was possible that there was some connection there to the reason the two of them never seemed to get along that well. "He has quite the way with words, and is often able to make even the most stubborn of souls to do as he wishes.
"Mythology also describes him as a son of Odin, which... I believe I would remember having more than just the one brother!" Which was yet another difference between himself and the Thor that Loki knew, actually.
"So the question I put to you is this: being able to talk others into doing your bidding seems like a fairly benign ability, does it not? One could argue that it is merely a matter of being very convincing! But is it still so benign if what you are telling someone to do goes against their personal beliefs?" He frowned, then, as if realizing the subject matter might hit a sore note given the events of a couple weeks ago. "If you do not feel comfortable answering, it is not required, but if you wish to share your thoughts on the matter, I would like to hear them."

"How strange that so many differences between our worlds exist, and yet this stay the same."
Re: Talk to Thor [TNWH 09/08]
Oh, just you wait until weetinies or something, Thor. JUST YOU WAIT. Then there may well be some eating of words.

"Have you been long on Midgard?"
Re: Talk to Thor [TNWH 09/08]
"A couple of months, before arriving on the island," Thor shared. "And a previous visit, though that did not last very long at all." Something in his expression shifted as he answered Loki's question, though he did his best to keep his tone light, there was a certain sadness in his eyes as he looked down at his younger brother.
