Who: Loki
Broadcast: Everyone
Action: Paisley
When: Right now!

[Action]

[Guess who just shows up to breakfast one... afternoon? Loki emerges from his office, looking for all the world like a man who has just woken up from an extended nap, barely open eyes, trying to stretch his back and shoulders, the whole nine. He wanders into the kitchen, fumbles around until he makes himself something hot and dark enough that he can pretend it's coffee, and stares suspiciously into the cup before drinking.

Ugh, his mouth tastes like someone glued one of Thor's feet to it. Ugh. What possessed him to sleep like this...

(Guess who has no idea he's been missing for weeks~)]

[A bit later: Broadcast]

[Awake now, and... well, he looks amused. Which is to say as if he's planning on flaying someone alive.]

Why yes, I have returned. Hide all of the party favors, lock up your sons and daughters, cancel the pedestrian fireworks displays.

A funny thing, missing time. You'd never know it was gone until someone tells you. Has anyone else fallen victim to such thievery?

Has anyone ever accused me of being wise? [Eyebrow.] Though you seem to have misplaced the card that lets you enjoy life's little surprises.

[Makes two of them.]

Two, one of which will be significant. [Because he knows the tactics he'd pull in this situation. Secrets come in all shapes and sizes.]

No, which is precisely my point.

[ Leto longs for a universe of surprises. Unfortunately, that universe will only be achieved at his demise. ]

Two.

[ Significance is a terrible word to use and leaves enough leeway for Leto. ]

Then you ought be at peace with my ways. [At this point, he's amused enough with the situation, having enough fun that it's a very genuine sort of smile he flashes. Not so different from his more calculated expressions, but for the light of his eyes.]

Two that I will find interesting.

Can anyone ever be at peace?

[ Leto is relieved. Loki, whatever incarnation is important to him. Ruby is family, a concept that was ingrained in him long ago. He could never go against it. ]

Consider it done.

Many seem to manage complacency with little effort and call that good enough. [Shrug.] But I would not know. Satisfaction is not in my nature.

A bargain, then. [No handshake over a network, and that's fine with him; he dislikes that human affectation.

As for when he makes his end up. Well. That's going to require some observation, perhaps. He didn't say when he'd be winding Leto up, after all. Or how.]

[ Leto is aware it will come when he least expects it. Fear is the mind killer and he has no fear. A moment when he can be surprised, can be taken aback from the possibilities that swim in his eyes . . . that was a good day. Leto doesn't look upon negative emotion the way most do. ]

Of sorts. We shall see if it reaches fruition.

[ He's sure Loki has the skill to pull it off. But Leto has a huge advantage. ]

If. Have faith, Leto. [Strong words considering they've just met. But this is another part of the game. He even throws in a flirtatious look from under his dark lashes.] The impossible is part of my breakfast routine.

[ Faith. Who has ever told a God to have faith? The sheer ludicrousness of it astounds him. ]

Then let us see if you survive luncheon.
