"Were you taught all emotion was weakness, or only certain ones?" Loki was curious. "I've viewed sentimentality as foolish and weak before. I'm still not given to it very much, though I can fake it well. But I've stopped trying to fight that I do have moments of it." He explained, with a wry smile. "I'm used to it not over-ruling me, thankfully. It just means I'm more dangerous."
But the laugh was very good and had Loki brightening. "Then let you and he just be that. Who cares about other definitions but the ones you both use. SO long as those align, you'll be good."
Seto's steps were lighter, like a burden had been lifted from him despite the continued serious subject matter. "Only the positive ones. Anger, hatred, and paranoia were encouraged. Anything that kept me isolated and driven to attack was good for business."
Now that he spoke it aloud, it sounded...pretty bad. But that was the past now.
"I was supposed to keep the family business going, to make the heirs he couldn't. I radically changed everything else about it...so I guess my being gay doesn't add much to my list of crimes."
Loki made a noise of affirmation then, when Kaiba confirmed which emotions he was 'allowed'. Nor was Loki surprised, given all he'd learned. It just made him sad for the other and his lost childhood. Things Loki was trying to help give the other now, so that creativity wouldn't die.
"I doubt they're crimes to others, only to him. And frankly he doesn't sound worthy of merit other than being a greedy warmongering piece of bilgesnipe droppings." A pause. "You're far better than him, and worth far more."
"All it took was being effectively kidnapped to a world we never imagined, hmm." Loki mused, but accepted the shoulder nudge. He was smiling though, and glad he could provide guidance and help for the other.
