âjust   fuck off with that.â cathryn doesnât mean to be so harsh, but, well, she hates hearing that. it only sounds like bullshit to her.
âyouâre doing wonderfullyâ, what a load of shit. cathryn would much rather have someone tell her how awful sheâs doing. how sheâs constantly fucking up. at least theyâd be honest.
not this. justâŚnot this. âmy life sucks. iâve done everything wrong and yes, iâm going to question everything i do because everything i do is stupid.â she cuts loki a look before looking back at nothing with her arms crossed. âjust go. i donât need your help. go give it to sam, he needs it more than i do.â
"Alright, first of all, I'm catering and hosting your wedding in less than a week, you do not get to tell me to fuck off, or I will absolutely boot you out to a twenty-five dollar reception hall and Applebee's for dinner."
Maybe that's a little harsh for Lokiâshe doesn't mean it in the slightest and would never do that to Cathryn, but here she is trying to cheer her up and it's not working. Then again, Cat has a point in that she and Sam are very, very different, and require different approaches.
"Second," she continues, "by the time I was your age I had murdered one of my brothers and made a blood pact with an eldritch goddess that would radically alter my life and turn me into some kind of apocalypse trigger, so in comparison you're doing much better. You are getting married, you have a baby on the way, and if you don't drop the attitudeânot just with me, but with your life in generalâthen you'll end up the way Sam was, except he actually has the sense to take help where it's offered, and the rest of your life, baby included, will suffer for it. Would you rather have that?"
