<span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">The silence from the other caused Loki's anxiety to skyrocket. He tore his gaze away wondering if he had indeed been sold off to be slaughtered. Grinding his teeth together he barely took in the fact that they had pulled into a parking space till Loki was staring at Taiga who informed him to follow. Gracefully he rose from the seat and stepped out of the car to do as he was told. The fact that a key card was needed to get into not just the building but the elevator too made him aware of how he likely was going to a worse place than where he came from. <br/>
<br/>
Silently he prepared himself for whatever end he might meet. After all even if he was now useless he at least got to see the sky once before his demise. The ride on the elevator did little for him and the overly ambitious man that stood before a woman's desk made his skin craw in a strange way. He shied to the opposite side of Taiga without realizing he had done it in an effort to keep something solid between him and the doctor. <br/>
<br/>
As they were lead into Taiga's office Loki tried to stay as close as possible. Maybe by looking weak and meek he could save himself from whatever laid in store for him. He shivered but it had little to do with the air conditioner. The dose of opium was already working its way out of his system causing him to feel colder. <br/>
<br/>
Doctor Karim Mahmoud Magdi was on him quickly and suddenly he was worried about his long hair being in the way of whatever the man was doing. In short order the collar was off and Loki was staring down in utter amazement. Tears gathered in his eyes as for once he felt his magic flood his body in a manner he had only heard about. Due to his high level of magic he had always worn some kind of collar. <br/>
<br/>
His breath hitched as his hands felt his bare throat for the first time in seemingly forever. It was nearly too much for the mage to handle. The more tears he swiped away the more that flowed. He didn't know at what point he had sank to his knees and simply gave into the tears that flooded him. To him there weren't any rhyme or reason to them. <br/>
<br/>
"Why can't I stop crying?" He asked after a moment looking up at Taiga from his spot looking every bit like a lost child, "It feels so good but..."<br/>
<br/>
He bit his lip unsure how to explain his feelings or understand why he was telling Taiga. Perhaps he simply wanted to connect with someone in that moment and he was the only one there he knew anything about. </span>
