[Eliot opened his eyes to look at Loki again with a pained gaze. He was sorry that his deception had hurt the trickster so deeply.]
It wasn't a lie... not all of it.
[Believing he was walking the last legs of his life, Eliot didn't want to be bringing pain to others even as he left, especially not the god he grew to care for. He reached out with a hand in an attempt to stroke the trickster's face.]
It wasn't a lie... which was why I had to go. I wasn't supposed to care, but I did. I do. And I knew it'd end like this.
[As blood welled up in his throat, he started coughing and the hand on Loki's face dropped to clutch at his chest. Broken ribs and punctured lungs at least. Yeah, he wasn't going to last long.]
I'm sorry... [He said again when he cleared his breath enough to breathe. Falling forward to his knees, he bowed his head and closed his eyes.] Go on... kill this mongrel who hurt you so badl— [His words dissolved into another fit of bloody coughs.]
