[dothelokimotion]

Who: Loki + You
Broadcast: Video
Action: Marsiva
When: Right now!

[ The feed clicks on as Loki is prodding the various appliances in open curiosity before he realizes it is working. With a smirk, Loki smartly claims a seat, crossing his legs and looking smug. ]

Ah, hello. I'm thrilled to be among such a — [ His eyes flicker to the lights and his smirk drops by an iota before it comes back in full force. ] — charming establishment. But I believe you have something of mine. An acquaintance. He's rather tall, prone to running into walls and likes petting things that bite him. If you could direct him to me, I'd be most appreciative.

I have attached an artist's rendition for your perusal.

It is . . . mechanical? I think. I do not know how it runs on its own, but it is all gears and electricity and whatnot.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Hmm. ]

Mortals are so odd sometimes.

[noprophecies]

Incredibly so.

[dothelokimotion]

You are . . . an elf?

[noprophecies]

[be nice, Tempest, be nice . . . her noses scrunches up a little regardless]

Half-elf. My father was human.

[dothelokimotion]

[ An interesting mix. ]

I imagine that had its own difficulties.

[noprophecies]

In my own world, yes. Elsewhere, not as much.

[dothelokimotion]

Hmm. Unsurprising.

[noprophecies]

Yes, well. [a quick shrug] It is what it is, as they say.

[dothelokimotion]

That is an absurd saying.

[noprophecies]

What else am I supposed to say?

[dothelokimotion]

You can say whatever you like.

But that does not make it believable.

[noprophecies]

It obviously bothers me. There is not much else to say about it.

[...] In public.

[dothelokimotion]

Of course. First impressions are important.

[noprophecies]

They are, I suppose.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki hums. ]

I am a hybrid as well.

[noprophecies]

—you are?

[well, that explains that] Of what, if I may ask?

[dothelokimotion]

I do not know, to be honest.

[noprophecies]

I see. [so that would make him either adopted, or half-brother to Thor. Not that it is important, family is not bound by just blood]

I'm afraid that, while there is no danger to us, we are a rarity here. We hybrids.

[dothelokimotion]

Do you truly believe that? That there is no danger?

[noprophecies]

I meant, there is no danger to us because of what we are. So far, at least.

There is always general danger.

[dothelokimotion]

I know what you meant.

Do you believe that?

[noprophecies]

[a shrug]

I do not think it will last, but I've not experienced anything so far. And I have been here for a while.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Hmm. At the very least Loki can tell she believes that. ]

A fair assumption.

[noprophecies]

I am not so foolish to simply forget something like that. Or ease my suspicions too much.
