[When Loki hears the news of the Godzilla's demise, it takes a moment to sink in. There were doubts when a handful of the refugees wanted to run out and play hero, especially with their lack of abilities (for those who had them). He expected Thor to come back content on his involvement at best, broken and nursing his own failure, at worst. This? This is better than the best, and it's worthy of celebration. I's hard not to be pleased, hard not to congratulate; it's Thor's victory post the fall of Asgard, and Loki's sure that he's reveling in it.

Then, comes the booze: all different bottle shapes and sizes, some dark with lighter liquid, others opaque filled with something that has a more amber tint. It's unloaded carefully by all of them, messily lined up on the frames of one of the cots..

Thor looks to be almost a different creature than the moping, sullen thing he'd been since they arrived in the safehouse. Getting to his feet he stands taller, shoulders held back, a bright look in his eyes. Loki backs him up, tinking a metal spoon against one of the bottles to get everyone's attention. As Thor speaks he looks around the room, seeking out the eyes of everyone present.]


Seven days ago we were strangers. We were brought into an underground bunker, unsure of who we were and how we had come here. Some were angry, some afraid, others unsure. It's thanks to the aid and kindness of Gaby and El that we survived at all, here in this foreign city. Today, we have proven we will not merely surivive here.

[Thor hasn't met everyone here, but that's ultimately not the point. In his mind they are in this together, for better or worse. There is a 'we' who celebrate together now just as much as there is a 'they' who are responsible for their being here.]

Today we have repaid Gaby her kindness. Today we have protected not only her people here in the safehouse, but the people of the city. Today we have proved our strength to ourselves, to the city, to any who are watching us. Today, we set fear in the heart of our captor. [He seems to relish that last one most of all.]

Seven days ago we had little to celebrate. Today we raise a toast—[Up goes his bottle, held high and triumphant.] To us! To what we have done today! To victory!

[Loki chimes in, shaking the little bottle in his hand.] To New Amsterdam!

[Thor's arm is held high while others raise their drinks, then Thor upends his to drain it in a long pull.]

Hm?

[ following Bellamy's gaze, his eyes settling on Thor being obnoxious and boisterous, laughing at something that someone else said and showing his biceps.

they don't look like brothers, do they?

there's a wry smile that curls on Loki's lips.
]

Ah—yes, the two of us are brothers.

[ it's not too hard to find out, so he lets it drop without hesitation. ]

You couldn't tell, could you?

No. It didn't occur to me.

[ Maybe if given enough time, Bellamy could have picked out some sibling resemblance. Or just recognized some shared thread of camaraderie and affection that he and Octavia had once had. But it's still a strange thing to be confronted with: siblings, unaware of how odd their existence would be in another time and place. ]

Is it better having him here?

[ Should Bellamy feel more or less worried by Octavia's absence? Measuring that against anyone else would be foolish, but he's groping for any kind of reassurance he can get. ]

[ there's half a shrug in response and he tilts his head at him. there's a fondness between the two of them that Loki is unwilling to give up, even though he knows that in displaying it, he may show vulnerability.

Thor has always powered through it.
]

Sometimes it's better, sometimes it's worse. It depends on how loud he gets.

[ he says cooly, but he means that first part. it's good and bad, but worth hanging on to. ]
