[It's hard to say if Loki's genuinely serious, or if he's heightening it to make it sound like Hiro's really needed just to get the boy to cooperate, but maybe at this point Hiro doesn't even care. He hardly waits for Loki to remove a cookie or two from the tray before his hand reaches out to snatch one, chewing on it as the god speaks.
He doesn't like to lose either. That's one of the similarities they have and knowing that they're running out of choices doesn't exactly settle well with him.]
...then yeah, I'll do it. We'll talk to Jason and figure out a plan for...whatever it is Morla told you we need from them. That sounds fair, right?
[ no longer did Hiro have the luxury of the fuck up, in this case, there was no fucking up. there were no second chances when it came to the dwarves and the cult, and Loki knew it. it's a rare thing with the god of chaos was so clear cut, but to further the next step, they needed help, and they weren't going to wiggle their way into the domain of the dwarves alone. ]
It'll be less about what you learned and what chances you've earned, and more of your will at work.
[ he chews on the cookie and speaks with his mouth full: ] No pressure.
[A roll of the eyes follows that.] Funny how both of you have said that to me in the last week. [He hasn't even finished his first cookie before reaching for a second. Stress eating? Maybe. Who knows. It's hard to say what's really running through his head now that he knows how important this whole thing is.]
But in that case, I'll do whatever it takes to get the answers we need. You should know I don't give up that easily. Trust me. I've got this.
[Whatever "this" is. But whatever Morla's sending them after can't be too hard to obtain.]
