Extremely. High Elves like myself are ordinarily incredibly long lived - it is strange to feel as though my time has been cut so sharply short. I've made my peace with it for now...but it sounds like you are experiencing the same. Beyond that, some...physical changes. Among other things. [Things that he is still puzzling out, at that. There is a note of discomfort in his droning voice.]
That's my hope. I should like to to get more opportunities for larger work.
[A beat - and then he backtracks.]
May I ask what you were, then, before? Would I know of it?
I am. [ Loki sighs. ] It isn't comfortable to consider that I have a handful of decades left where there have been centuries spread out before me in the past.
Perhaps, but I'm not sure. There are a variety of elves where I'm from, you see, but I don't know that there are what would be considered or called High Elves in specific.
I was a frost giant. Jotun. But I was raised amongst the Asgardian people and didn't know myself different from them for centuries. They both have very long lifespans compared to humans.

Asgardians. Not a term I have ever heard before, but I certainly don't deign to know everything.
[A beat, and then-]
Perhaps we might continue this conversation in person? Over tea, or wine, perhaps?
