[ did loki just switch to a female form on him?

he doesn't know whether to look amused or bemused, so instead, he simply picks up his coffee for another steady sip. should he question it? he kinda wants to question it, but it also feels like opening another can of worms. his encounters with loki so far have all just been either very baffling or aggravating.

no real in between. ]

Must have been quite the contemplation. [ just saying. ] I'm not agreeing to anything, but I am curious enough to hear you out. What do you want me to build for you, Loki? [ regale him with your wishlist. ]

[ikols]

I'd like seven bracelets. They alert one another if there's an emergency and let the other wearers know the identity of the caller in distress, faster than a text or a call with a simple tap.

[ As the server comes over to fetch Loki's plate of shredded rolls her eyes switch up and she lights a smile, thanking him. May I please have a replacement? This one was burned. He scuttles away with a fluster.

The same green eyes flick back to Tony and the sweetly apologetic expression melts away. ]

I could forge something similar myself but it would be through magic. Not a lot of people would trust a gift like that, coming from me.

[voicelog]

[ well, the request sounds simple enough. ]

Who will they be for?

[ikols]

My friends.

[ She has those. ]

[voicelog]

Sure. I'll make them for you.

[ it won't be too much trouble. ]

[ikols]

Really?

[ Delighted to hear it, suspicion swoops in a moment later. ]

What do you want in return?

[voicelog]

No more drunk texts from you would be a fair exchange.

[ he really doesn't have anything he wants from loki. ]

[ikols]

Technically, I am not the same person as Drunken Me and I take no responsibility for myself while inebriated, so I can't faithfully agree to that.

[voicelog]

Then we can consider it that equivalent exchange you wanted for explaining to me about how gods work.

[ikols]

[ Everyone wants something off Loki. Everyone. She blinks, puzzled, then nods in agreement. ]

Alright, but it feels like I got to talk about myself and was rewarded for it.

[voicelog]

[ he wants nothing from her except maybe some peace and quiet. but he doubts that he would get it, so... 💁‍♂️ ]

You can look at it that way too if you want.

[ikols]

[ Well, since she's on a roll ... Loki straightens up and fiddles with the ends of her hair. ]

I would also like a new Starkphone for Peter. He has some Oscorp shit.

[voicelog]

[ he arches a brow at her. ]

You know I'm not running a tech company here, right? The GA already provided us with phones.

[ikols]

I don't want their crap, I want one of yours. You once rebuilt Asgard into Asgardia, or you will when you can be bothered to go home and catch up with the timeline.

[ Face the epitome of 3>:( ]

I want the best phone in the multiverse for my boyfriend.

[voicelog]

The answer is no.

[ he is already making her seven emergency bracelets. wanting him to make a starkphone for someone who not only is from a different universe but who already has phones at his disposal is ridiculous. ]

[ikols]

Tonyyy. You want him to have an Oscorp phone? Why do you hate my lover? Why do you want him to suffer?

[ !!! ]

I broke into it with barely a glance, come on.

[voicelog]

You can ask him to use the Guild's phone if it's such a concern of yours.

[ the answer is still no. ]

[ikols]

I'll owe you a favour.

[voicelog]

If I wanted a favor from you, then I would have asked for an IOU for the bracelets.

[ikols]

[ Hmm. Biting her lip, she steeples her fingers and gives him a long look. ]

I'll lend you a Norn Stone for a week.

[voicelog]

No thank you.

[ he has no interest in wielding a norn stone, loki. but also don't just offer one up to people all willy nilly. ]

[ikols]

Tony!

[ Norn Stones aren't Infinity Stones, chill out!! Both hands slap the table in frustration. ]

What if his stupid phone craps out and he can't call me for help, and then he gets horrendously crushed by some wacky supervillain? And then dies? I'll never have had a chance to save him or say goodbye and it will be your fault when I decide to burn this realm to the ground!

[ She would just be super miserable, but. Also, no one can say she can't go nuclear. ]

[voicelog]

Isn't the emergency bracelet I've agreed to make for you going to prevent that exact scenario from happening?

[ it seems like it's time for him to be on his way. ]

He has two phones right now and I am assuming one of those emergency bracelets will be for him. I'm pretty sure he's going to be fine with or without a Starkphone. Anyway, [ he rises from his seat as he picks up the danishes with a napkin. ] I have a long day ahead of me and I'm not particularly interested in sticking around for a tantrum, so if you'll excuse me, I'm going to pay for the meal and then I'll be on my way.

[ikols]

But he disappeared once!

[ Oh. She didn't mean to sound that distressed. Loki sits back, taking her coffee cup in both hands to concentrate on. ]

[voicelog]

It happens.

[ he makes a generalized motion at where they are. ]

This isn't our home, Loki. And from my experience, people can come and go at any given moment. Getting attached to someone from another universe isn't going to benefit you in the long run. I don't want to sound harsh, but whether he has a Starkphone or not won't change the fact that his presence on this Earth is unstable. It doesn't change the fact that your presence or even mine is a guarantee.
