[ Woodhurst has certainly taken its toll on all of them. perhaps he should intervene at some point, tell her that she needs to sleep, but she's the head of her own boat, and she'll steer it where she wants to go. there are other people to account for, and messes that need cleaning up. ]
[Maybe he'll get angry. ... But she has to ask. (Whatever it means, she didn't ask anyone else about the ethics, she just kept the remains of their samples. Somehow... she didn't think that would be possible with Loki without him somehow finding out.)]
What project could have use for the blood of the god of chaos?
[ the answer is no. he's seen what Doom can do, what Reed, Stark and poor influence did. it caused chaos. the clone that had come from the endeavors of those scientists had wrought havoc upon the world in Thor's name, parading his face while the void swallowed them whole.
Thor was a god of thunder. Loki was a god of chaos.

My blood is unpredictable. The result that you mean to use it for may not be the result that you get. Even if you do........... Yours may not be the only hands upon it. Sorcery is not science, and I'm a being of magic and myth.
that whatever he would become would bring security. Sieglinde is a child, his mother a goddess grown. he could not resent her the same way he did his mother.
there's been too much madness brought by his blood already, and the possibility of what can be done. Doom was a sorcerer and a scientist, and he had wreaked havoc upon them (with Loki's aid, of course, but that was a dark time). ]
It's tempting. Tempting enough that Sieglinde knows without a doubt that she would do it, if it weren't for the fact that Loki knew exactly how good a liar she was.]
You mean to use my body to further your own goals and expect me to comply without question? Trust is not the underlying factor in mistakes made in the best intentions.
[ and a good twister of words, too. he knows this game. ]
Scientific, magical- all breakthroughs involve using someone or something! We used Rammsteiner to cure the Bristol virus, and my goal is no less important than that.
The last time Asgardian DNA was used with the best of intentions, Thor was cloned and set against those who he would have called friends. That clone, with Thor's face, and Thor's name, killed for those good intentions. All to keep innocents safe. I lent my blood to this mission under ALASTAIR's insurance, I can't indiscriminately consent to its use outside those confines. Your cure will have to be found on your terms. My blood will not be the savior for your cure.
[ there were too many variables, to may problems that could arise. he had been exploited too many times, and even now he felt like the pressure came from the same place: divinity would make everything better.

Serious?
Alright, I'll bite. :)
[ totally serious smilie. ]

But it's text. It's fine. She doesn't look weak.
Gets straight to the point.]
Must I destroy your remaining blood sample?

What?

I can promise that it would not be used in a way dissimilar to this mission. To help find a cure, and prevent needless deaths.
[But was that enough?]
no subject

Even if you do...........
Yours may not be the only hands upon it.

If there's a chance that sorcery will make do-
[but that's her failing, isn't it]
no subject
It will not have the outcome that you'd like it to.
[ he knows it won't. it will go badly. ]
no subject
I cannot die with this unsolved. No matter what it takes.
[She can't.
But she knows what she can do, and one of those things is die.]
no subject
[ his mother had thought that.
that whatever he would become would bring security. Sieglinde is a child, his mother a goddess grown. he could not resent her the same way he did his mother.
but it brought back memories. ]
no subject
Maybe it's just another hint that she wasn't meant for it after all. That sort of thing, it wasn't as important as duty, in the end. She knew that.
So maybe it was just selfish to try.]
So that is a "no"?
no subject
You'll need to find another way.
[ firm no.
there's been too much madness brought by his blood already, and the possibility of what can be done. Doom was a sorcerer and a scientist, and he had wreaked havoc upon them (with Loki's aid, of course, but that was a dark time). ]

[So-]
no subject
[ the answer, of course, will still most likely be no. Woodhurst was personal. ]
no subject
If I do not find a cure, who knows how many could die.
[By the thing she herself had created.
Maybe that's the most important detail. But if she doesn't have to go that far... she doesn't want to say it.]

[She fires it off without a moment's thought, glad still a moment later she had chosen text and not voice-
There's no point, is there? Arguing at this point-]
no subject
Consider your sample destroyed. Unless you care to collect it yourself to ascertain I am not lying.
no subject
[ but she wanted something else, desperately. ]
Blood has strong magic. If you use it, it won't be difficult to find out.
no subject
How nice to be reminded.
