Funny. I thought I was enlightened.

[trickor]

You've had but a taste of power.

[stupidcupid]

And you know what? It sucked.

[trickor]

You are a follower, not a leader. This is of no surprise to any.

[stupidcupid]

Yeah, but it wonders to your beauty sleep.

[trickor]

No need to worry?

[stupidcupid]

You don't control power. It controls you.

[trickor]

That...is surprisingly astute of you.

[stupidcupid]

Soldiers know how power work.

[trickor]

Of course.

[stupidcupid]

Do you?

[trickor]

To lead is to understand. Thor learned the way of the soldier; I learned the way of a king.

[stupidcupid]

Some king.

[trickor]

You know nothing.

[stupidcupid]

I know enough to say killing off your own subjects does not endear you to anyone. But it's a very mortal thing to do, I'll give you that.

[trickor]

There are so many of you; what difference would the loss of a few make?

[stupidcupid]

The loss of a few make the many rise up.

[trickor]

Interesting.

[stupidcupid]

You've seen it work.

[trickor]

What I saw was the loss of many making a few rise up.

[stupidcupid]

Then you weren't looking in the right places.

[trickor]

Mm. You speak of Agent Coulson.

[stupidcupid]

Actually, no, I wasn't.

[trickor]

Oh?

[stupidcupid]

There were people on the ground, doing damage control. Saving people. Normal, ordinary people, risking their lives for strangers.
