[Just your friendly neighborhood mom checking in.]

How are you doing, Loki?

l.odinson

[shiftedshape]

Fairly well. My current inmate was already imprisoned when I got her, so she's not been able to get up to much else.
Has Alex been keeping you busy?

[He could use busy, honestly. It'd get his mind to settle on something more productive.]

[nineteenfortyfive]

Alex is seemingly well behaved. We get on all right, so I don't expect much trouble from him.

How's your sleep these days?

[shiftedshape]

Better, I think.
The port was rather tiring, in its own way, and I've been keeping busy since.

[Gotta keep his mind off Malekith somehow.

...Speaking of.]

Have you met our newest inmate and warden yet?

[nineteenfortyfive]

Lucifer? I have. The inmate, no. Why?

[shiftedshape]

He's from my reality.
I wanted to hear your impression.

[Or if he's said anything about Loki. Maybe more that.]

[nineteenfortyfive]

[This inmate, Loki, and James, then. Interesting.]

I wonder if I should ask your impression of him, instead. What's going on?

[shiftedshape]

Must there be something going on?

[Yeah, that was real convincing. He sighs and tries again.]

I'm not sure I agree with the Navarch on his deserving a place here.

[nineteenfortyfive]

Why?

[shiftedshape]

He tried to wipe out all life but his own race, for starters.
In the entire universe.

[nineteenfortyfive]

I'm guessing that didn't end well for him.

[shiftedshape]

My brother dealt with him.
After his actions led to our mother's death and my own.

[...He was mostly dead, anyway.]

[nineteenfortyfive]

[Oh.

Don't mind the considerable delay before she responds.

Seems like he got better, but--]

I'm so sorry, Loki.

I understand. There are people that, should they arrive as inmates, I'd have to speak to the Navarch about. You're not wrong to be concerned.

[shiftedshape]

I've considered that.
Speaking to the Navarch, I mean.
It's just that the last ship I was on was far more arbitrary than this one has been thus far.
I'm not sure I could stay here if her response indicated similar lack of consideration.

[nineteenfortyfive]

Of course.

If there's anything I can do for you, let me know.

[shiftedshape]

That is very kind of you.
I would appreciate it if you didn't spread this around, at least.
I'm not sure how such knowledge might be taken, out of context.

[nineteenfortyfive]

Of course. Anything between us stays between us.
