[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.

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?

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

wellfwiw
I much prefer your companywhich is also why I'd rather spend my evening with you, if I have the choice to( always. )
( via laptop. he really should get a better surface to use his computer with, but there's the whole lack of furniture thing he seems to constantly dismiss. )
my apartment
just wrapping up some work( via laptop. he really should get a better surface to use his computer with, but there's the whole lack of furniture thing he seems to constantly dismiss. )
20 min tops( then, more hesitantly: )
I had coffee( which is to say, no, he hasn't eaten. but he's definitely trying to pretend coffee counts for something.
the fussing isn't entirely unwarranted, here. )
is that a challenge?( he knows it's not. he's just trying to change the subject.
no one wants to pee that much. geeze. )
I can't even make that much coffee in 20 minutes( what a way to cry foul over a hole you dug yourself, barnes. )
[honestly, being clamped down on indelicately is for the best. it gives a good point of leverage for loki to heft himself upright, almost as naturally as if he were doing it entirely under his own power.
there is, of course, the question of what to do with their hands once he's up. shaking free is the natural consideration, but then again, flailing after her later if his legs give up the ghost seems a touch more undignified.]
Thor's got his eye on someone new, it seems. [who cared to keep up with the other prince's attention? not this one.] He always gets a bit puffy when he's trying to impress.
[doubling down has its own risks. they are, apparently, the ones loki is more willing to take. with a bit of wary tension, he shifts in her grip toward linking their arms, in the casual way asgardians sometimes chose to walk side by side (if, admittedly, with far more weight on jude than was necessarily normal for able-bodied walking).]
I have to assume that throwing someone slower, weaker, and smaller through a few walls is quite the in thing with his current crowd.

stop being bothered by everything. be more honest with yourself.
