[ he chuckles. ]

You worry too much. No one is calling me a monster. I'm well aware of that.

[brooklyn_boy]

No one except you.

[Still he falls back with a shrug.]

I worry about my friends. Not gonna change. Sorry, pal.

[dothelokimotion]

[ that's what you get when a culture calls your kind monsters while you were growing up! ]

It's not much of a concern of mine anymore.

[brooklyn_boy]

[He makes a face but lets it go.]

Whatever you say, Loki.

[dothelokimotion]

[ it's true. to some degree, loki has accepted himself. though where he'll take it, no one knows yet. ]

I believe I dod.

[brooklyn_boy]

[He nudges his shoulder into Loki's]

So you're here doing nothing for the whole month? Sounds boring.

[dothelokimotion]

[ a light shrug. ]

I can find ways to entertain myself. You need not concern yourself over it.

[brooklyn_boy]

[He rolls his eyes and moves to grip Loki's shoulders.]

Loki. Bud. I'm not concerned. I'm your friend and I wanna make sure you're not just sulking around when you could be having a fun.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki blinks, surprised. ]

I'm not sulking.

[brooklyn_boy]

What do you call it, then?

[dothelokimotion]

[ he frowns. ]

I don't know. What does it matter if I keep to myself?

[brooklyn_boy]

Does it make you happy? Being alone?

[dothelokimotion]

[ his frown deepens. ]

It does not make me unhappy. I won't deny that I enjoy it all the time, but I am . . . picky when it comes to company.

[brooklyn_boy]

I'm touched.

[He drops his hands and reconsiders.]

Was there anything here you wanted to do?

[dothelokimotion]

Not particularly. As I said, the planet does not appeal to me much.

[brooklyn_boy]

[What a face.]

Just gonna head back up to the ship then?

[dothelokimotion]

I might, once I'm done here.

[ wanda's friends weren't his and loki is loathe to spend time with the avengers. he doesn't trust them much and they tend to see themselves as self-important. ]

[brooklyn_boy]

[It makes Steve strangely sad to think about him going back up to his ship alone. But maybe that's just projection on his part. Either way, he has a few hours before going camping with Bucky.]

Well. If you wanted to get a drink before you do, there's bars around here. They're not that bad.

[dothelokimotion]

. . . You want to have a drink with me?

[brooklyn_boy]

If you wanted to?

[He shrugs, glancing out at the party and at his friends.]

I heard good things about the tavern down the road. Won't do anything for either of us but it might taste good?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki cocks his head, assessing steve's sincerity before nodding. ]

Why not?

[brooklyn_boy]

[Steve smiles and shakes his head. Oh, Loki. One day...they'd work on this.]

I've had worse things said to my invitations than 'why not?'. Good. Anything you need to finish up around here? More ice cream? Or pizza?

[dothelokimotion]

[ why not seems perfectly respectable okay. ]

No. I have delivered my gift.

[brooklyn_boy]

[Steve is sure Loki thinks that. He looks around the party and figures now is as good a time as any. He starts leading the way toward the pub nearby.]

What did you get for who?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki gives him a look because he should think it's obvious who he would get something for. ]

I got Wanda a small illusion of her brother.
