[ that's a little curious, but Loki just quirks his head when he looks at him. ]

Generally yes. You're talking about mortal perceptions. Those are based only on a few aspects of reality, there would need to be something a little more extrasensory to break through it. Illusions are built on possibilities between those lies and those truths, but it's enough to make anyone wonder if reality that's experienced isn't based on the same.

[ there's a shrug from Loki, he kinda sorta had his own experiences with that one. lies and truths were second nature to them, weaving stories between what is and what could be was his MO. it was a form of trickery that he played to, just as well as he played all the grays that shaped his own world. ]

Ah, but it's always more fun when someone dislikes the prospect of trickery.

[ more of a reason to do it. ]
