She did not believe that. What she did not know was how someone could fool her, the goddess of lies, with such a large one. The odds of them finding their Klara in this reality were slim; the odds that Klara had been replaced with another, genuine Klara in addition to that? Astronomically poor. There was only one person who could skirt so perfectly around her special power, someone else who could lay claim to the dominion of Lies in the Asgardian pantheon. It was either him or one of his many minions. [color=#a81a75][i]Guinevere,[/i][/color] Runa thought, hoping the telepath would hear her. [color=#a81a75][i]Restrain that one.[/i][/color] The next thing she knew, the fake!Klara was screaming in pain. It hadn't been exactly what Runa had had in mind. She raised an eyebrow, looking at Guinevere for a moment. She would speak to her about this later. It was a dark path for one able to manipulate the mind to begin to tread. But Runa wasted no time, using the opening to bend darkness into chains, chaining up the false Klara, binding her limbs. [color=#a81a75]"I have to commend you - it is not easy to lie to me. Unless, of course, you wield the power of another god of lies... My uncle's power,"[/color] Runa said, her words soft but stern. [color=#a81a75]"Now the question is... Are you Loki? Or just a pathetic soul doing his bidding?"[/color] She turned her head towards Klara. Maybe Guinevere had had the right idea after all. [color=#a81a75]"Perhaps you would like to have her head, as restitution?"[/color] Runa suggested. She didn't think Klara would actually behead the fake Klara. But she wanted the fake Klara to believe that she would - she wanted Loki or whoever it was to reveal themselves and end this silly mystery.

She was a little unnerved by that, given that she was pretty sure his memories were still scrambled eggs. [color=cc33ff]"Umm, so did we miss something? Are we friends with this other Klara now or..."[/color] she started to say, before the situation rapidly escalated. The two Klaras clearly hated each other, and the words getting thrown around were the standard overdramatic speeches of Asgardians - but when one of the Klaras' sword shattered, Guin felt the tension increase a million percent. And she heard Runa make a request. It didn't take a genius for Runa to figure out that the Klara they had been with this entire time clearly was not actually Klara - maybe a holdover skrull, from back when that had been an issue? Though Guin was pretty certain they had first met Klara [i]after[/i] the skrulls had popped off... At any rate, Guin reached out with her telepathy, intent on just incapacitating Klara by immobilizing her. But it was hard to break through her defenses and took a few tries, and the final result was more violent than she had intended. She winced, seeing the pain she had inflicted on the fake Klara. Then, Runa dropped a bombshell - a Loki sized bombshell. [color=cc33ff]"Hey, baby Hulk - wanna smash a puny god? If that's Loki, then that's on brand for Hulks and Lokis,"[/color] Guin suggested, pointing at the fake Klara Runa had put in chains.
