The one with the library? And the bar?

[ Aka the only reason he cared at all about it. ]

[rebuildyourruins]

Yes, that one. Have you looked around the rooms that aren't occupied?

[dothelokimotion]

No. Why would I?

[rebuildyourruins]

I don't know, that's why I was asking.

[Thor doesn't presume to know what Loki gets up to in his spare time. He has some guesses.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ It's a shame this is voiced otherwise Loki would have shot Thor a scathing look. ]

I did not check the rooms, Thor. Get to the point.

[rebuildyourruins]

[Too bad, so sad.]

I'm thinking of turning one into an office.

[dothelokimotion]

An office? What for?

[rebuildyourruins]

For working in. I do it in my room at the moment, but the desk is pretty terrible.

[dothelokimotion]

That is fair.

[ It is a terrible desk. ]

But you . . . want to share that with me?

[rebuildyourruins]

Well, yes. We've already been working on things together. We might as well have a space for it.

[A beat of silence as he muses.]

I know you don't like the idea of settling here. This isn't that.

[dothelokimotion]

[ A beat. ]

What is it then?

[rebuildyourruins]

It's organising better.

[Thor doesn't like, or want, to think of it as putting down roots in this place. At the same time there is precious little he can do during the day that doesn't involve some measure of routine, of familiarity. Of collecting items to use that he grows accustomed to. Loki's barbs about that still stung, but he doesn't intend to let it master him.]

I'm changing what I'm already doing.

[dothelokimotion]

Are you now?

[ Loki is skeptical but that's normal for him. ]

[rebuildyourruins]

Yes. I am.

[dothelokimotion]

Then you should. It'll be a useful space for you.

[rebuildyourruins]

For you as well. If you want to.

[dothelokimotion]

[ A beat. ]

I will make it a point to visit it then. To . . . help.

[rebuildyourruins]

[That is not exactly what Thor meant, but it seems close enough.]

Great. I'll pick a room and let you know.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Shh, he needs time to warm up to the idea. ]

All right.
