[ being the god of mischief and lies meant that he was good at making mischief and lying, and while there were lies and omissions that definitely passed him, he knew the very obvious route of diversion made by a fourteen year old boy. (he remembers being a familiar of a fourteen year old boy, and while said fourteen year old boy was himself, it made it just as easy. but at that time he was more encouraging to his lies than calling them out.)
Loki follows Hiro at a swagger, tucking his hands in his pockets and watching him excitedly point out this and that and generally admiring the architecture while Hiro chatters away. occasionally he leans over to Hiro's height as if he's trying to see something from his point of view, almost to the point of over-exaggeration. he notices the discord in the plans, the occasional two-room versus multiple. ]
The Baron of this Spire. I didn't know you had your doubts to his intent.
[ he sounds a little distracted, but nonetheless curious. ]
[He couldn't lie very well to Tadashi either and he knows that this will (probably) come back to bite him in the ass later but it doesn't matter now. What matters is leading Loki through the spire and occasionally he wants to reach back and bat at his face to get him to stop seemingly mocking him. In the end though they stop on the stairs and Loki's statement causes another pause.]
I don't really know what his intent is. That's kinda the problem. I know what Ariadne does and why she has her spire, but I don't know what Edgar's doing with his.
[Save for the things Saber told him.]
I would like to trust him, but...you know. [Trust is hard.] It's like Billy said. Everybody has their own plans and agendas based on politics. I don't want to be blindsided. Saber and Ariadne are different.
bouncing into a project without knowing the full intent of the one who bore it. it was Saber's request, of course, but that still left them all a little blind. ]
But you believe in Saber's intent.
[ more politics—he was certain Saber was getting something out of that to fulfill her agenda. it was just where those agendas aligned. ]
He hasn't told you anything? You are his architect. You'd think that he would ... ah, at least allow you the details, even if it was under different circumstances.
[ the rush to build because of Caer Scima, he could also understand the implications of it. ]
Yes. [No. Mostly, at least.] I believe it enough because Saber believes in me. She actually asked me to come do this on the first night I got here like...literally right before I met you.
[He's not stupid enough to believe Saber's not getting something out of this...but he's a little stupid enough to believe it won't be that bad.] He told me about the work he's done already and not to mess with the mountain trolls. [Shrug.] I don't think he knows much of Saber's plans either and he's...he's nice, but I'm not sure he really gets everything about the construction.
[It doesn't help that Hiro probably threw in a million terms and examples that most people couldn't keep up with.] I think I'm working for her more than I'm working for him.
