I refuse to believe it.

[captainkink]

[laughs]

I was a repeat offender. I was in jail a couple of times.

[trickor]

How has that any bearing on your lack of compliments?

[captainkink]

It has plenty to do with it. Either I was written off or treated like being pretty means I lack brains.

[trickor]

But you don't. Did you simply...allow them to think that way of you?

[captainkink]

Yeah, I let them think whatever they want.

[trickor]

Did it not frustrate you?

[captainkink]

What was I supposed to do, tell them otherwise? Like they would believe me.

[trickor]

Sometimes, it pays to be underestimated.

[captainkink]

Does it? At what cost?

[trickor]

When one is underestimated, opponents do not expect the knives that then come up from behind to slide between ribs.

[captainkink]

At what cost, Loki?

[trickor]

[quiet]

[captainkink]

Because I don't think it is.

[trickor]

[touches his cheek]

You've proven yourself now, though, haven't you?

[captainkink]

Captain of a star ship now, remember?

[trickor]

Yes.

[captainkink]

I'm not done proving myself but that's fine. I have miles to go.

[trickor]

People will be wiser than to so underestimate you again, at least.

[captainkink]

We'll see how it goes.

[trickor]

I have every faith in you.

[captainkink]

[... taking his hand and kissing it]

I know.

[trickor]

Already you've achieved such greatness... I suppose it would be redundant to say I expect more.

[captainkink]

Never.

[trickor]

[kisses him, slowly and languidly]

I expect great things from you, Captain Kirk. Your name will be one that the world never forgets.
