[ It's been a while, hasn't it? Possibly longer than truly necessary. And yet this isn't the easiest call for the Asgardian to make. Though Loki does make an effort to appear casual. ]
About a month ago, you were in my head.
[ Okay. Maybe not very tactful. The reminder is still irksome. ]
I was not terribly appreciative, I am aware. And though I doubt to be more welcoming to such an intrusion today...
[ A vague gesture as he lets his words trail off. ]
My reaction was uncalled for.
[ That's basically an apology. ]
Though I am left to wonder... How did you manage this?
( lilith had honestly never expected to hear from him again so when she does-- well, it's quite the unexpected call. and she has to wonder what it is that he wants because an apology wouldn't be all of it )
How did I manage to broadcast to your mind? Meditation, gin and clear intent.
( she'd given a similar answer to sabrina when the girl had asked how she'd gotten into her dream. there were some parts to her magic that she just didn't explain. or maybe she was being truthful )
( something lilith knew anyway given that she could cast spells in very different ways to more modern witches of her world but it's more emphasised across worlds )
Some parts of my magic require a verbal component, others a strong intention is all that's necessary, such as with the message that I sent.
( the actual projection was the spell not the message )
Our experiences may differ in that regard. I have been to many planets before, yet this one is the first to greet me with limitations to abilities I have studied and honed for centuries. But that is of less importance, I am aware.
( the dark lord had but she didn't want that sort of service. she would rule as queen, yes, but she didn't demand subservience or that position that holding power gave someone )
Witches of my world are born not created.
( though she had the power to do more. she had restored sabrina's but that was a freedom not a contract )
[ There is a thought here. An unspoken question that will remain such. Its answer may well be lost to time. Loki mentally picks the thought up, doing his best not to acknowledge it too much as he stores it away with other thoughts the keep him awake when he isn't cautious with them.
His thin smile is forced as the Asgardian just shakes his head. ]
[ Personal to the degree of 'I want to speak to my mom.' - Sorry, Lilith. You don't qualify. ]
Lilith, was it? I hope you are not terribly offended if I end this conversation here, but I must relocate myself somewhere... colder.
[ You are a dangerous woman, Lilith. Loki came for answers in an area he enjoys to study and leaves with further questions in a field he feels incredibly uncomfortable to touch upon. ]

A gin made from pure dark energy, I suppose.

( and then because dancing around can be tiresome )
I assume you had some other reason for this message?
no subject
[ His tone may or may not suggest that this isn't the actual answer. ]
Though professional curiosity may be more accurate at this point.

How do you define yourself, the magic you use and from what source do you draw your power from?
[ Aside from gin. ]
no subject
( though if he presses a little more she might shed some clarity )
no subject
[ And others. ]
I am less interested in the what, and more in the how. Spells tend to be similar, but your approach seems to differ greatly from my own.

[ It's mainly a matter of adapting. ]
So what do you draw your power from?
no subject
( she'd never signed the book of the beast as other witches had. lilith's power-- well, it had a story but she never shared it )
There are old legends, myths of witches. Providing the correct balance is adhered to there is no limitation.
no subject
[ That's a detail to keep in mind. ]
That makes me wonder if you yourself might be offering contracts to aspiring witches who may seek to borrow from your power.

No choice in the matter at all?
[ Look, he has come to appreciate being able to make choices for himself - And yes, he often makes terrible choices, but they are his choices. ]
no subject
( rather than it being entirely random )
No witch has ever wished they were anything else.
( and if they did there were spells for that but. no )

I refuse to argue with that observation.
no subject
( it's very obvious that he has an opinion even if he's not saying it )
This went down an entirely unexpected path... I'm sorry he went weird on her
