How wonderfully encouraging x

Is trying to be unbothered not twice as exhausting?

[meforsaken]

it is harder in some ways, yes, but less exhausting in the end i would argue

have i shown you what i looked like when i was younger? SO many stress lines, greying hair, rotting teeth, the works

[annarr]

Any chance there's a clever way of avoiding all that?

Oh, go on. Allow yourself to be a bit exceptional xx

[pilfeline]

Depends. Do you like it better if I'm the only one who knows?

It's easier when the truth's already nice.

You'd have to forgive me for being incredulous.

thank yoooou

[timeanalyst]

The TVA's alright I guess. But you know how things are around here.
Not a whole lot of excitement. Pretty samey after a few centuries.

That changed once you showed up.

I wouldn't mind a turn at being the favorite either.

Surely you've better things to do.

❤️❤️❤️

[counterstep]

well

fwiw
I much prefer your company

which is also why I'd rather spend my evening with you, if I have the choice to

[there's no wince at the deliberate touch. there's also no fight to keep her away. a mixed bag.]

Oh, not wine. Much sterner stuff. Bread in a glass, if they have it.

[which will, tragically, probably actually help quite a bit to bring the color back into his cheeks and urge resilience back into his bones. it wasn't overly refined or remotely clever, but it had worked before and would almost certainly work again.

if, of course, he could convince his body to make it the rest of the way to the nearest pint of ale.

do his legs even lift? usually. his own body weight, at least. now, one hand reaches with a certain insistence for one of jude's, not to be pulled up but certainly to stabilize against the slight sway that had sent him to sitting in the first place.]

But I'll buy you something civilized to sip on.

my savior from captcha

[steely]

You had best. I take the matter of payment seriously.

( bland and unserious — no creature would call jude civilized when faerie considers her the worst of beasts among the worst beasts, treacherous and treasonous both. still, it carries some inherent note of something ominous, with her (horrible, beloved) natural talent for making any word out of her mouth resemble a threat. (and it's not entirely without basis, beside; one's sworn word is more valued as currency than regular gold, in elfhame. she has no choice but to hold a promise, no matter how small or flippantly given, in high regard.)

no drink touched by magic, either, she might add, if she were keen to engage her paranoia today. as it stands, she holds her tongue (a miracle in its own right), and focuses on the twitch of her hand beneath his. it steadies a moment later, turning over to grasp his with a tight sword-grip, bracing, clearly more equipped to hold a weapon than a hand. the tip of her ring finger is, as ever, missing. )

Should I needle a guess? ( not one to ask for permission so much as take it for herself, there's no wait for an explanation. simply, ) Overzealous sparring today?

This was a subject of some debate for hours last night.

But I suspect you're right.

yesss sorry for my delay

[bridgertons]

I suppose you could be Baby, if you really wanted to be.

Just try not to get too much moonlight on it and I'm sure it will mostly be fine xxx

[aspolyhymnia]

what does moonlight do to it?

If all you did was look at me from a distance, ástkær, I would not be disappointed.

[too much? too late, so.]

Is that what you think I crave?

gimme 👀

[counterstep]

( ah, not loki making his heart skip over text. )

the things you do to me with your words, sweetheart
I swear
but I could never stand you keeping so far apart from me, my darling
my heart would ache endlessly for your touch

( had he always felt this sappy toward those he's fallen for? things certainly seem far more intense now than they've ever been before, but any reason for why escapes. this is who completes him. that is all he knows. )

well
I guess I don't really know since you'd never said directly
but surely cleverness is prized by a god of mischief?

What, no taunting initial guesses?

Easier, certainly, but I'm hardly about to drag myself out of bed and get them myself.

Re: @asgardianss

[asgardianss]

Do you wish me to taunt you about how lack of enjoyment of that pretty slender body of yours?

So.

This is laziness then?

On both counts?

BROTHER. Put in the little effort.

How long have you got?

I'll be honest: only about 30% of it is flattering.

[white_widow]

30% of it being flattering is pretty generous.

[a bit of a pause, before a voice message pops up in the chain. loki's voice is soft, a touch thoughtful and a gallon earnest:]

James Buchanan Barnes, you matter to me. You are enough for me. More than enough, even. As you are, and as you will be.

[there's the soft 'pop' of a blown kiss before the message ends.]

Anyway, does magic count as being sneaky?

always always always ❤️

[counterstep]

( ah. god, that sends shivers through him. and still he listens: again, again, again. the clip is saved, memorized, and venerated.

he sends back, nowhere near as elegantly put and with a wisp of laughter hanging in the air, )

How dare you try and skip over that with how thoroughly beautiful that was. You'll pay for it later.

( and that's a promise. )

magic is definitely sneaky
did you have something in mind?

@timeanalyst

Well, and a movie. To be clear.

I suppose we should both live in hope, then x

why thank you!

[timeanalyst]

Yea yea loud and clear.
What movie did you want to watch? Since you seem so adamant about it.
