Loki/Balder
There stands the Mistletoe slender and delicate, blooming high above the ground. Out of this shoot, so slender to look on, there shall grow a harmful fateful shaft.
The Mistletoe struck Balder and pierced him through and through, and he fell down dead. And that was the greatest misfortune that ever befell gods and men.

Sigh, this turned into less of a “stabbing” and more of a “dear Balder, you seem to have a tree growing out of your chest, let me just get that for you.”
Dedicated to thirdsonofasgard and xpermafrost, because I get so much enjoyment out of their antics.

That is not an answer. Do not call me ignorant when I’m merely choosing not to believe your lies. This constant hostility between us is counter-productive, and you know it.
Counter-productive? Counter-productive is you questioning my ever move! You know me well enough to know that I do not move forward without plans. I suppose, however, if it would shut you up, I shall reveal some of my plans.
This is a conversation I will only have with you in person.
Yes, I do know you have plans at all times; all I ask is to be made aware of them, and not to be treated like a clueless pawn. I gave you my allegiance, I want for you to succeed.
Very well.
Enough with the lies; it’s not like you could care less if I were in danger or not.
What are you planning?
You ignorant animal.

To me it just sounds like you’re trying to safeguard your dignity; if you truly have a plan, then disclose it to me.
I have told you what you need to know. Anything more would put you in danger.
Enough with the lies; it’s not like you could care less if I were in danger or not.
What are you planning?
That was a crucial part of my plan all along, you foolish god.
And now you’ve jeopardised everything; do you think he won’t find your wretched spawn wherever they are should he be inclined to strike you where it hurts the most?
I have jeopardized nothing. This too is part of the plan. Do you really think me so naive and reckless? Every thing I do has a purpose.
To me it just sounds like you’re trying to safeguard your dignity; if you truly have a plan, then disclose it to me.
You lie. And you know it. You treat most like disposable pawns; you’ve no care for what is yours unless there is sentiment. Would you really go as far as letting him command you just to protect a possession?
Don’t take me for a fool, Loki.
You must take our son away from all this.
That was a crucial part of my plan all along, you foolish god.
And now you’ve jeopardised everything; do you think he won’t find your wretched spawn wherever they are should he be inclined to strike you where it hurts the most?
I told you once before; your threats do not intimidate me. I will choose whichever words I please.
Tell me you’ve a plan, and that you didn’t jeopardise everything we were working on because of your sentiment towards your wife.
THERE IS NO SENTIMENT! I merely guard what is mine.

… Sentiment.
Choose your words carefully. In this form, I can easily destroy you.
