[ He lets his hand linger. ]

And is it sweet?

[spellslots]

[Oh, they're doing this, are they?]

It can be, if that's the sorta thing you're into.

[dothelokimotion]

[ He tilts his head. ]

I am into a lot of things.

[spellslots]

[He has a feeling this is about to veer sharply away from metaphors in a second, but he can't help but ask:]

Have you got some examples or are we keeping it a mystery?

[dothelokimotion]

[ He lets go of Taako's hand gently. ]

What's the harm in a little mystery?

[spellslots]

[He draws his hand back just a little, nails tapping idly on the table top.]

That depends on the mystery, for sure.

[There are bad kinds of surprises.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki hums thoughtfully. ]

What do your instincts tell you?

[spellslots]

Oh, darling, if I listened to my instincts I wouldn't have any kinda fun.

[That's a little bit of a joke but not... entirely untrue.]

[dothelokimotion]

And what kind of fun do you have?

[spellslots]

[He laughs a little at that, dramatically dropping his head onto the table, his voice full of anguish.]

I haven't had fun for months, pretty sure I've forgotten what it is.

[Why is he like this.]

[dothelokimotion]

How tragic.

[ He leans back. ]

How did you ever cope with the loss?

[spellslots]

I get very drunk after work.

[That's kind of sad, huh?]

[dothelokimotion]

That seems dangerous in a place like this.

[ Who knows what kind of drinks and substances are peddled here? ]

[spellslots]

Not if you're conjuring that shit yourself.

[Do he and Lup just chill in their shitty apartment and get drunk on conjured Fantasy Grey Goose?

Maybe so.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki hums. ]

Drinking alone on Sakaar. Now that is sad.

[spellslots]

I'd rather be sad than stupid, I have seen way too many idiots lose their wallets, or worse, after a night out.

[The Grandmaster seems to be pretty chill on the crime front, as long as it doesn't involve messing with his stuff.]

[dothelokimotion]

Then you have been here for some time.

[ With magic for conjuring and enough to skirt the Grandmaster's view. Loki wonders how long that will last. ]

[spellslots]

Too long. I miss like... trees, and fucking lakes and shit. This place is built outta trash.

[He's by no means a nature sort of elf, but after so long on a planet that's so unnatural, he's started to miss it.]

[dothelokimotion]

It is rather strange.

[ Even Loki finds himself unused to it. Though that's more to do with being a spoiled prince. ]

But even trash has its uses.

[spellslots]

You didn't really strike me as a srapper.

[That's a joke, but also true: Loki doesn't look like the kind of person who gets their hands dirty.

Not that Taako necessarily does either, but it's just a role for him, not too hard to see past. Even literally, the little burns and scars from a life of cooking and travelling rough give him away.]

[dothelokimotion]

I am not. And I'll take that as a compliment.

[ Space floozy would be more accurate. Not that he minds. ]
