hemlock : this is the poison of intense fear. your body trembles, your flesh burns. your limbs won't respond to you. you convulse. you can't seem to control the fear. it seems that it has always lived within you. you hesitate, you agonize, and that breeds regret. sometimes it threatens to overwhelm you, and that frightens you more than anything. but panic is survival mode in overdrive, and something within you knows you must live. creation seems to be the only balm for you. perhaps you survive so stubbornly because you have stories that must be told, songs that must be sung. soothe your stage fright. the path from surviving to thriving is having a good garden to grow in. and you can't do that completely alone.

their gaze does not shy from familiarity, all but belligerent, all the affinity they offer only as deep as the flesh they feign.       “  I expect only more of the same welcoming from the rest of my fellow asgardians, and although they may find me changed, loki, god of mischief, is still a prince of this realm.  ”
