toteshammered.livejournal.com"HELLO, CHILDREN!" Thor boomed. "I hope today finds you well!
Today, we are going to discuss Bragi, whom your myths describe as the god of poetry! If we are being entirely honest, however, I would have associate Bragi most closely with... well, I believe the term would be 'bullshit'." Which was entirely different from mischief and lies, of course. But it was possible that there was some connection there to the reason the two of them never seemed to get along that well. "He has quite the way with words, and is often able to make even the most stubborn of souls to do as he wishes.
"Mythology also describes him as a son of Odin, which... I believe I would remember having more than just the one brother!" Which was yet another difference between himself and the Thor that Loki knew, actually.
"So the question I put to you is this: being able to talk others into doing your bidding seems like a fairly benign ability, does it not? One could argue that it is merely a matter of being very convincing! But is it still so benign if what you are telling someone to do goes against their personal beliefs?" He frowned, then, as if realizing the subject matter might hit a sore note given the events of a couple weeks ago. "If you do not feel comfortable answering, it is not required, but if you wish to share your thoughts on the matter, I would like to hear them."
