[ intro post ] we come from the land of ice and snow

[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.

Oh, he'll be sure to show up. Why wouldn't he?

[ Their relationship is, for the most part, """mended""" ]

[outstandingbalance]

There's always one reason or another. But like I said... I'm sure he will.

[The real question is if he has already.]

So there's not much reason to speculate.

[dothelokimotion]

That's unlike you.

[outstandingbalance]

Is it? [She suspects they might have different perspectives on what's like her.] Suppose it depends on the topic.

[dothelokimotion]

I suppose there is very little to ferret out.

[ But speculation is a healthy habit, one well-cultivated and kept. ]

[outstandingbalance]

[In Natasha's old line of work, it's a dangerous habit. Too much potential to introduce biases and paranoia in a business that already thrived on caution and assumptions. And maybe too much chance of landing on information you didn't want to know in your speculation.]

I try to keep it that way.

[dothelokimotion]

I imagine it was a difficult habit to break.

[ But even more surprising if it was broken. It is strange to think some things have changed, but Loki wouldn't dismiss it entirely. ]

[outstandingbalance]

It can be. I woudn't say break so much as deviate from time to time.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Ah. His lips curve slightly despite himself. ]

Thankfully, deviations are perfectly acceptable.

[outstandingbalance]

Maybe not perfectly acceptable. [Depending on who you asked.] All things considered, though, it's not the deviation that's the problem.

[dothelokimotion]

Then what is?

[outstandingbalance]

Jury's still out on that one.

[dothelokimotion]

Well. You should let us know what you discover.

[outstandingbalance]

Curious, or do you just think I should share with the class?

[dothelokimotion]

Why not both?

[outstandingbalance]

Nothing ruling both out.

[dothelokimotion]

I should hope not. It's limiting to pick only one.

[outstandingbalance]

I'll pencil you in for both. No commitments.

[dothelokimotion]

I'll take it.
