Old Habits Die Hard (Loki)

[st_hotflashes]

By the time Liz reached her room, she felt dizzy. It took her three tries to open the door before she got it to work properly and when she was over the threshold, she suddenly sobbed loud. Back pressed against the door, her feet slid out from under her and she ended up on the ground, crying - the sort of cry that involved your whole body.

She didn't want Peter to have to break Annie's heart. It wasn't fair to either of them for them to be here and have to deal with complications, so clearly it would be better if Annie could just spend time with Peter and Peter wouldn't have to skirt around the issue with Annie.

This was for the best, even if she felt like her world had been hollowed out.

It didn't seem like the kitten had any objections - as much as a kitten could, anyways - so Liz settled on Shadow as his name. "I'll make sure to get you something special for listening."

Liz felt as though the kitten had done a lot to calm her down and she was grateful to him.

Loki purred. Why not? She was a good thrall, after all - despite her tendency towards masochism, she was ready to submit to proper authority. And that was really all he wanted in a thrall.
