"They'll help, but this would be a form of mental manipulation that requires you to work with me." Another squeeze, and Loki moved to sit on the floor nearby. "I...spent a year or so in the dungeons, as a prisoner, in Asgard. My punishment for invading Midgard. I was only broken out, so to speak, by Thor because he needed my help. Once that aid was given, it would've been back to the dungeons with me, likely to rot without Frigga around to try and make me comfortable. She was killed, earlier--and was part of why Thor needed my help." Giving her the brief version.
"In any case, I aided Thor, but faked my death. I did kill the einherjar who came to investigate or capture me, and took his place. I confronted my father, and did manipulate his memory and his mind to forget who he really was. Then I put him in an elder-care home in New York in Midgard, to stay for a while and I ruled while pretending to be him."
None of it was said with any bragging or overt pride. "It was hard, as he was very strong willed and did have magic of his own. But mother taught me well, even if she didn't teach me this." A sigh, and Loki briefly let himself remember. That Odin said Frigga would've been proud. Letting a sad smile come to his face.
"I'm sharing this though, because what I can do is similar but you'll be an active participant instead of fighting me. With your permission, I can place a shield on you that you'd have to 'fight through' to speak to anyone else. For now. I have no telepathy of my own, but we can continue to work with this new wrinkle with our lessons anyways."
