Summary
"Arsene." Loki hitched his fanged greatsword on his shoulder. "God of Shadow." His voice lilted at the end, just shy of a question.
Akira smiled, because that wasn't true. It wasn't a lie, either.
"Loki," he returned, rather than admit he didn't know. Not his own dominion, and certainly not Loki's.
"What's your name?"
Not his title or god-name, the one mortals knew. The one that was more true than any epithet, and certainly not something his enemy should know.
"Akira."
"Akira," Loki repeated the name slowly, testing the sound. His voice dripped down Akira's spine.
Loki smiled, sharper than his sword, and Akira hoped it was because he enjoyed the taste of his name and not because he saw Akira tremble.
"And yours?"
Loki laughed, dropping into a crouch and ready to lunge, sword still indolently slung on his shoulder. "Why don't you try and deserve it?"
