Congratulations. You have somehow managed to reach the phone of Loki Laufeyson. Leave your name, number, and willingness to do me a favor at the beep.

[hashtagging]

I got eaten by a dragon.

[ Loki shrugs as if it is not a big deal, hiding the fact it unnerved him much more than he had expected. ]

What happened to you?

[ Vilhelm accepts the attention, seeming to settle down. ]

[hyoscine]

...ouch. Hope it was quick.

[Scratching idly at Vilhelm's head, she shrugs as well, not quite looking at him.]

Wound up on the wrong side of a knife during that thing with the paranoia-grapes. I really do have to do something about being so easy to stab.

[hashtagging]

Very quick. And wet. Kinda disgusting.

[ And terrifying. ]

You need to get better about that. Wear some armor or something under your dress.

[hyoscine]

Sounds like it might be.

[She can imagine.]

Hey, it's not like I can make a stop at the nearest armorer- 'hey, I need something that can stop blades, maybe in a nice smoky purple?'

[hashtagging]

I do know someone who is quite good at manipulating metal. We can always change the color.

[hyoscine]

...you would know someone who can do that. I don't really think I'm built for plate armor though.

[hashtagging]

You could get some pretty chainmail!

[hyoscine]

Maybe...

[A thoughtful hum, and she shrugs.]

I guess there's no harm in asking, right?

[hashtagging]

His name is Erik Lehnsherr. He lives in the Mansion in the woods. You can tell him you know Loki the younger and much cuter.

[hyoscine]

...I'll keep that in mind. And I won't even tell the other Loki those are your methods of distinguishing yourself.

[hashtagging]

See, I knew I liked you for more than your fashionable outfits.

[hyoscine]

You mean it's not my girlish charms? I think I might be just a little bit hurt.

[hashtagging]

Well, they certainly do not hurt.

[hyoscine]

[She flushes a little at that, bumping her shoulder against his.]

Well that's good to know.

[hashtagging]

A fair word of warning, though. I have plenty of my own.

[ Loki gives her a playful wink. ]

[hyoscine]

Oh? And you're not sharing? [She shakes her head in mock disappointment.] For shame, Loki.

[hashtagging]

I could, if you really wanted.

[ His voice raises in octave as he shifts from male to female, giving her a teasing smile. ]

[hyoscine]

[A pause and then with droll flatness-]

...okay that's just not fair that you get to be attractive no matter what you turn into.

[hashtagging]

[ Loki let out a bark of laughter. ]

I could be ugly if I really wanted to, but it is not nearly as fun.

[hyoscine]

[She rolls her eyes at him a little, amused.]

No, I would imagine being attractive all the time does make life a lot easier.

[hashtagging]

As I am sure you know.

[hyoscine]

[A wry smile at that, and she rolls her eyes again.]

...please. There's a world and a half of difference between you and me, Loki.

[hashtagging]

Only in some ways.

[hyoscine]

[And quite despite herself, she leans closer, bumping her shoulder against his again.]

Oh yeah? How do you figure that?

[hashtagging]

Well, we are both cute, smart, not human, have a great sense of fashion, you know.

[ Not to say he's arrogant. ]
