"I disagree that we are all being tested. I believe there are a few who have made a deal …. to come out of this a little better than others." Harley notes softly. "You can see it... if you watch carefully. They don't struggle like any of the others. They have all their ducks in a row... even right now."

"So why strip down only a certain few?" Harley knows she isn't asking the right person. But she doubts the right person has any notice of her.

She leans into the snake nuzzle with a soft sigh. "I know you weren't. You see me in a way few others do."

"I want to support you... in the change you seek, Loki."

"And I hope it will be the former too." She presses a soft kiss to the top of his snake head. "I will continue to believe in you too. And... still believe in a possibility of 'us'."
