How do you go about picking gifts?

[ He's just going to dive right in. No real introduction, but Steve figures that most people won't care too much about who is asking this or why. ]

I'm sure a lot of you are better at this than I am, so I guess I need some advice. How do you find a good gift for someone that already has far more than you've seen for half your lifetime? Not that I'm aiming to impress anyone, but it'd be nice to pull it off.

[ He grins a little. Okay, so maybe he's trying. Just a little. But Steve is rarely the one that surprises anyone else. He just wants a chance at doing something cool for a change. Of course, he's realistic and knows this is unlikely, but he can try. ]

I'm in a little over my head on this one. Everyone else always has the flashy stuff covered.

[ Since his consequent fights with Thor and Taako, Loki has been spending more time in Steve's room, making himself as much of an annoyance as he can to repress any kind of cathartic feeling he may need to vent. So when he stops Steve actually using his device for once, he comes over, draping his arms around Steve's neck and resting his chin on his shoulder. ]

Hmm. People certainly have interesting ideas of gift-giving.

[ Loki huffs lightly against Steve's neck with a slow smile. ]

If I told you what I thought, that would ruin the fun.
dothelokimotion: (Comfort was the answer to all)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-11-08 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm. I am the worst.

[ There is a brief note of melancholy, even though it's well-hidden. He pulls away a little to give Steve room for his responses, even if Loki rests his hand on his shoulder. ]

I like scarves as much as anyone does. I have a few.
dothelokimotion: (The concept of transitioning)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-11-08 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ Loki pauses, mulling it over with a click of his tongue. ]

I think you creating a scarf would be no mean feat and I'd certainly be in awe.

[ He shoots Steve a smirk. ]

Would it be in red, white and blue? And covered in stars?
dothelokimotion: (Illegal to consider their existence)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-11-08 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ Loki raises an eyebrow. ]

I am not giving you ideas for my own present, Steve.
dothelokimotion: (This is the fear that looms)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-11-08 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
What would one do with a boat in a place like this?

[ Loki purses his lips to give it a modicum of thought. ]

I do not mind a picnic. You never did take me to dinner either.

[ But that's their private little joke now. ]
dothelokimotion: (A life of pain is the pain of life)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-11-08 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ That was a curious fact. Loki moves, pressing his palms against Steve's shoulders, massaging them slowly. It also gives him a better look at the screen. ]

It seems I must, if I ever expect to live to see it.

Why do you like boats?
dothelokimotion: (A life of pain is the pain of life)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-11-08 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ Loki chuckles at that, pleased, even as he kneads Steve's shoulders. ]

Very good. You are learning.

[ Ah. His expression softens at that. ]

Asgard's boats fly. They sail through the skies, unfettered by all. They are not large, but they were perfect for getting a glimpse of the falls, our intrepid mountains. Perhaps that is what I should get you.
dothelokimotion: (Miscommunication leads to everything)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-11-08 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
Not everything needs to be exciting.

[ And he's warming up to the idea all the same. ]

We can try that, if you like. I know you enjoy seeing new places.
dothelokimotion: (Comfort was the answer to all)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-11-08 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
[ Loki shrugs, nonchalant. He mainly proposed the idea of a gift to see what Steve would come up with rather than hinging on the actual object itself. He's curious and Loki has always indulged his curiosity first and foremost. ]

As I said. The worst. Shamelessly mercurial.
dothelokimotion: (The concept of transitioning)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-11-08 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
Watching you run circles? Oh, yes.

[ Loki kisses the outside shell of Steve's ear. ]

How could I not?
dothelokimotion: (Truth takes us to dangerous places)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-11-08 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
I am not worried.

[ It may not be fancy, but Loki fully believes whatever Steve picks will be interesting. Or at least, new to him. While their tastes do not always mesh, Loki preferring the wealthier, finer things in life and Steve preferring the simpler pleasures, Loki knows Steve well enough by now. He is no fool.

Besides, this is harmless. And Loki needs to fill his head with harmless nonsense to drown out the rest. Cocking his head at Steve, he smiles faintly, thin around the edges. ]


And therefore, you should not either.
dothelokimotion: (We are not history yet)

[ Loki raises an eyebrow, deadpan. ]

Trying to be nice and just saying things sounds nothing like me.
