[reneger]

i wouldn't chance it if there were nonthugs around

[voicelog]

how populated is it?

[ thugs are still people, jason. ]

[reneger]

i'm unpopulating it

[voicelog]

[reneger]

i'm not killing anyone
i don't want dick to break my face either

[voicelog]

[ at least then he can contain this mess. why is this his life rn ]

[reneger]

naughty

[voicelog]

don't make me change my mind

[reneger]

;)

[voicelog]

[ he's regretting this already. ]

let me know when you've got everything prepped [ while he decides on whether he should let stephen in on this or not. ]

[ It's about 9am on the morning Jason's set to arrive for a drink, and it occurs to him that maybe he should figure out the logistics here. ]

What are your plans for today?

[voicelog]

not much

why?

[rehandle]

Jason's coming over. Not to be rude, but you're not invited.

We can keep to my study if you want free rein of downstairs.

[voicelog]

i'm more than happy to get out of your way

is it serious though?

[rehandle]

Yes and no. I imagine we'll be drunk by 12pm, but he's ok. Just adjusting.

I'll let you know when he's gone. I can be the one to keep out of your way after that.

[ Until he's sobered up a little. He hasn't forgotten that Tony and alcohol don't mix, especially not after the recent reminder of things neither one of them seem to recall, so he's happy to steer clear if Stephen possibly being some kind of a state is likely to bring anything up. ]

[voicelog]

got it

i'll keep myself busy dw

[ it's as good an excuse as any to get out of the house for longer than a jog or a quick trip to the mart. ]

[rehandle]

Thanks T. Catch you later

@stephen.strange (neural implant)

[ It's not ideal, he knows that, but Stephen won't say no to this request. So, one afternoon, not a question but a statement: ]

Loki may be staying here for a while
Can you navigate that?

[ It's a big house. Worst comes to worst, they can avoid one another, surely.

Having more than one friend is really coming back to bite him here. ]

[voicelog]

before i answer that, why is loki coming to stay here for a while?

it's a little out of the blue

[rehandle]

I know, sorry

The kid left. His kid self. They were living together, I think the loss just landed.

[voicelog]

not to come off as insensitive, but how long is 'a while'?

[rehandle]

I don't know, Tony. I haven't asked

[voicelog]

if he's dealing with something, then i can get out of the way

i doubt that he'll be comfortable with me around

[rehandle]

He knows you live here, you don't need to do that

[ But it's a lot to ask, for Tony to stick around now when he's only just extended his first olive branch to Loki. With the gut response to Loki's loneliness, the cause of it, softened by the wind taken out of him at this new realisation of consequences, Stephen falls silent for a brief while.

Sitting with how fast things change, and how little he wants them to. ]

I'll let you know when I know he's leaving.
