[ there's a long, long pause.

then: ]

Yikes.

[rehandle]

[ christ ]

What

[selfimage]

Oh! Nothing.
It just says a lot about your taste.

[ Loki, this is the internet, you cannot whisper. ]

[rehandle]

[ in what world is shit-color better than blue, what kind of a god ARE you ]

What's the context?

[selfimage]

A pair of boots with many straps.
I suppose I can see "electric blue" being in the range of your mortal wizard style.

Just don't go out with me wearing them.

[rehandle]

What do you want, Loki?

[selfimage]

You won't believe me if I say "just dropping in to say hi"?
I feel insulted by the implication.

[rehandle]

At the very least you were just dropping in to harass me over the color of boots, so no.

[selfimage]

Next time, perhaps.

[ don't give him the idea, or next time it will just be about shoes. ]

Do you know of SHIELD? Some mortal protective squad or some such.

[rehandle]

Yes. Not a thing in your universe?

[selfimage]

Ah, it is.
But I don't think this one belongs to us.

Someone named Fitz?

[rehandle]

[ oh. ]

He’s SHIELD?

[selfimage]

Or so he says.
Maybe he just wanted to sound cooler than he is.

[rehandle]

No, that about matches up. He just came out and told you?

[selfimage]

I told him I was Asgardian, and he mentioned Lady Sif.
You could call it the natural flow of conversation.

[rehandle]

We danced around it for the length of a full meal. I’ve just had to tell him I was last on a spaceship with Stark to force the issue.

Ah well. Be fun to turn up to this big reveal already knowing the news.

[selfimage]

Ouch.
He's really trying to be cagey, isn't he? It must be difficult for him, being so obvious.

[ sorry Fitz he has to cast a little shade. ]

Please, take a picture of his face when you tell him, you can consider it payback.

[rehandle]

I'll see what I can do.

I'm guessing you're not against me sharing my source.

[selfimage]

As you will.
That I'm a dirty traitor isn't really surprising for anyone.

Though I do suppose this would be the light end of the backstabbing scale.

[rehandle]

Does it count at all? It's not your fault he makes a shitty secret agent.

[selfimage]

Ah,
Should I do something worse?

[rehandle]

I don't know. Depends how attached you are to your reputation.

[selfimage]

That means I have a fairly decent reputation.
What are you saying, Doctor?

That you might like me a teensy weensy litlte bit?

[rehandle]

I was referring to your reputation as incorrigible, godly asshole. I wouldn't get too excited.

[selfimage]

Ouch. Is this how mortal doctors do it?
Bring me up just to put me down.
