As promised, she approaches just under a week after that touching of bases. He's flagged down in the hall and herded into a common room housing the Hamlet portion of her relatively new and ongoing effort at cracking Shakespeare. After a few questions about context, in and out of the story's universe, she feels adequately prepared for film.
It's pleasant. Uneventful, surprisingly educational. Still a noticeable step down from comfortable, but there's less by way of awkward silence or stony faces. By the time credits roll, there's little left to discuss but current goings-on.
"How's the temp going, by the way? It looked like an exciting match-up."
The raw feelings having faded, this little meetup feels almost inappropriate. They don't really know each other, after all. And the insistence his other self had had that they not burn any bridges was more than a bit uncharacteristic of him. At first, he feels almost as if he's going along with this for that man's sake more than anyone else's, which is surreal to say the least.
But Misty's good company, really. Bright and pleasant, and she really does seem to enjoy the film. He wonders if she'd have felt the same way if she knew his true history, but...for now she doesn't.
When she asks about his new warden, he's very glad she doesn't know more about him.
"I don't know about 'exciting'. I'm not sure I know what to expect. He mostly keeps suggesting we'll 'figure it out'. Which doesn't exactly instill me with confidence in his abilities." He shrugs. "What exactly did you and your inmate do to get him to graduate?"
Loki answers, smiling pleasantly though he's internally a bit apprehensive. He isn't sure what to expect in any of this, and he's always at his worst with limited intel to work with.
"Welcome," he says, stepping aside and sweeping an arm out to invite Betelgeuse in, "You seem...energetic."
I think they raise plenty of questions about you as a person, if you truly enjoyed them. I had planned to send you a message about them but, well. I suddenly have responsibilities I wasn't anticipating.
[She can't see it, but yes the egg is currently in his lap. He's glad she started this as a voice conversation so he had the excuse to keep his camera off.]
[Loki's still in a bit of shock when he gets the message, and it takes him a moment to remember what that even means.
He's done chanting and incantations before, but this still feels a bit silly. And he isn't quite sure how it will actually work, so he moves to stand in the middle of his cabin, attempting to prevent Betelgeuse from materializing inside of a piece of furniture.]
Congrats! Hope it's a set up you won't find disagreeable. If you end up looking for a celebration drink or want an excuse to duck out (he's probably excited?) I can dig up a movie or something.
Bill is in a bad place and Hange is in a coma and Rhys takes forever to get ready in the morning.
And.
Fuck, you're my boy, right?
Because Halloween is like tomorrow and it's a very important holiday for us chaos-loving demons and I wanna do a Rocky Horror cosplay and do you even know what that is?
Never mind. We're gonna need magic illusionary fishnets. A lot of fishnets.
Hey, I have a couple of questions, when you've got a minute free?
Which probably sounds serious - it's not serious. I feel almost foolish, actually, but you're only allowed one laugh if that turns out to be correct of me.
[Loki has never had any reason to have the "we need to talk" anxiety before, so he's grateful for her clarifying.]
I have an abundance of minutes. Do you wish to speak in person? That might serve as a good test of my ability to be a good person and not laugh directly in your face.
Hey, thought you might be looking to share a drink back when the words were all fucked up. If ya are still interested at some point, I never need and excuse for that kinda socializing.
[Damn. He'd sort of hoped to avoid having to talk about any of this. Oh well.
He still starts with a light tone, mostly to avoid making this overly serious.]
I'm not sure what other way I can take that question.
Recently I've been trying to seriously contemplate how I might graduate, and I've been thinking about our...arrangement. And whether it is truly good for either of us.

Hi.
Okay so so so.
Bill is in a bad place and Hange is in a coma and Rhys takes forever to get ready in the morning.
And.
Fuck, you're my boy, right?
Because Halloween is like tomorrow and it's a very important holiday for us chaos-loving demons and I wanna do a Rocky Horror cosplay and do you even know what that is?
Never mind. We're gonna need magic illusionary fishnets. A lot of fishnets.

He made me take a shower.

Supernatural entanglements, naturally. Once you’ve seen one timeline gone wrong and cleaned it up, you’ve seen them all.
I’ll be glad to retire to a desert island or wherever it is I end up after this.
