[scythias]

I don't think I really know either.

( as old as she was, it wasn't something she'd really paid all that much attention to. )

Do you feel like you've let people in?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki can't help a brief flutter of a smile. ]

I'm here, am I not?

[scythias]

You are. And I'm glad you are.

( she returns that quick smile. )

I hope you're enjoying it at least a little. I haven't done this in awhile.

[dothelokimotion]

I am.

[ it's thoughtful. and loki is so rarely thought upon. he reaches out for her hand, thumb brushing over her knuckles. ]

When was the last time?

[scythias]

When was the last time I did this?

( andy thinks about it before she laughs and shakes her head. )

A long time. A very long time. I can't even remember the last time.

[dothelokimotion]

Then let us make this worth remembering.

[scythias]

Well, I'm very in favor of that.

( she smirks at him and even winks before reaching for her drink. )

I haven't been on a date in a long time but I think I can figure out how to do that.

[dothelokimotion]

Careful. You may make my expectations go higher.

[scythias]

Are your expectations already fairly high?

( she smirks. )

What are you hoping happens here?

[dothelokimotion]

My expectations are simple: To be surprised. Nothing more or less.

[scythias]

You missed your chance. You could have said anything there and I would have tried to do it.

( maybe. )

[dothelokimotion]

[ he smiles. ]

Where is the fun in that?

[scythias]

I don't know. You could have made your own fun.

( andy laughs though and shakes her head. that's fine, she can drive this evening. )

Usually, the food would be better but I don't cook and the selection isn't great.

[dothelokimotion]

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?
