Despite the pain Eliot caused, despite how he betrayed the god's trust and broke his immortal heart, the trickster had chosen to heal him and give him what he wanted instead of finish him off. How did one pay a debt owed that deeply?
Especially if no matter what he said or did now will ever be believed again? Hesitantly Eliot pushed himself back up onto his knees, still feeling too week to gain his feet. He glanced over his shoulder to where the cube glowed in the distance, then back in the direction where Loki was walking.
One was the job, the other, the man he just told he fell in love with.
He knew which direction his choice went, except... was there a point when Loki obviously and rightfully hated him?]
Loki.... I'm... I'm sorry. [Believing it was for the best, he got to his feet and went after the cube. He made the decision, he will just have to live with the consequences.]
