You shouldn't be admitting to such things. After all, I have no frame of reference.

Treat it as new.

[scythias]

I like to live dangerously.

( a smile flickers. )

Planning on going on more dates, hm?

[dothelokimotion]

If this is a success, I don't see why not.

[scythias]

Do you think it's going to be a success?

( inquiring minds. )

[dothelokimotion]

[ a low hum. ]

I have hope.

[scythias]

That's something.

( it's definitely enough for her. )

Hopefully I do okay in making your first date somewhat memorable.

[dothelokimotion]

Are you worried about your chances?

[scythias]

Should I be?

( yes, she's going to answer a question with a question. )

[dothelokimotion]

No.

At least I do not believe so. Have a little faith.

[scythias]

( andy fixes him a look for that one and laughs a bit. )

Did you just tell me to have a little faith?

[dothelokimotion]

[ he winks. ]

Faith is the domain of gods.

[scythias]

( hey, she'd been called a god in her life, loki. )

And do you have faith?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki falls silent. ]

As much as I can, these days.

[scythias]

Something is better than nothing, isn't it?

( she smirks at him and then winks. )

[dothelokimotion]

That is what I believe.

[scythias]

It's a good thing to believe.

( so, they're in agreement there. )

[dothelokimotion]

[ he smiles. ]

And what do you believe in?

[scythias]

My team.

( that was...about it, really. )

I believe in them.

[dothelokimotion]

[ huh. ]

Your team?

[scythias]

My friend. I just call them my team. We work together and have for a long time.

( team, friends, family. )

[dothelokimotion]

Team implies some sort of goal.

Were you searching for something?

[scythias]

Something like that.

( it's vague, she knows. )

You've never worked with other people?

[dothelokimotion]

[ his expression tightens for a moment. ]

Not as equals, no.

[scythias]

Not even here?

( she knows a little about uneven odds but things have been pretty equal while here. )

[dothelokimotion]

What is "here"? This is just a place. We live our days from moment to moment.
