She was right on both counts. Not only would he do whatever hastily chosen thing he wanted to despite her warnings but it was going to blow up in his face like it did every other time he failed to listen to her advice. She was not the blissfully ignorant girl he treated her as, in his heart he knew it. But when did Loki ever listen to any counsel besides his own?
"—And if you’re wrong?" He asked in a much calmer tone. "What if you are wrong and we’ve all sealed our fates by standing by and doing nothing? This argument was going in circles, his doing more than hers. Invoking a prophecy from the oracle was stupid. But there was that nagging worry in the back of his mind that told him knowing was better than being kept in the dark like this.
"You know I do not believe in fate. I put no stock in prophesy.” Yet here he was fearing those very things.
"When is dinner?"
She made no sound as he continued to challenge what she had said for she would just be repeating herself in a tone that could have only been described as begging. She would have begged him to stop pushing, begged him to just let it go if she thought it would do any good but she knew her husband and she knew that when his mind was set on something he saw it through. At least, until he found an answer he was satisfied with and with an oracle, that could take him weeks.
"The entire point of fate is that it always leads to the same end no matter which path you take. It is wiser not to challenge it lest it decide to punish you for testing it," she shrugged and with that rose to her feet, wanting to say no more on the matter. Instead, she focused her attention on the food she had been preparing before he had returned home.
"Twenty minutes." Her voice curt and cut off.
