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.

I mean, don't get me wrong, we might not be talking right now but I'm glad Loki's got someone who doesn't buy the 'I'm a monster' shtick

Just like, don't go too hard in the other direction, you know? That always feels shitty too

Not quite what I meant, but it's not important

Anyway, if you're not into my super awesome idea of cool magical shit, I'd go for experiences over things, you feel? If he wants something he can just get it for himself

[He thinks he's funny.]

Because camping is the fucking worst, duh?

[Glamping is ok at least.]

I'll be real with you, I've never done like, a big gift thing for a significant other so I might be off base here, but when I had to give Lup her day it was just about figuring out what she likes doing, what things she wouldn't have done without prompting, and what would leave good memories. It doesn't have to fancy or expensive, it's just a way to show you know him and you care, you know?

We both have high standards

[Though his dislike of camping is born from a life on the road growing up. Sleeping under the stars lost its appeal when he was fifteen.]

Over-thinking it is the worst thing to do, just believe in yourself and follow your heart and all that shit

And yeah, pumpkin, I'm a wizard ✨

In theory I'm totally down, but let me know what it is and I'll let you know if it's possible. My magic isn't like Loki's, I've got rules to follow

[And a delay on Taako's end, as he considers it.]

It'll need a container of some kind, but I think I can make it work

You want a constant light or something you can turn on and off?

Nah that's doable, I can bake in a trigger word or make it respond to touch, whatever you're after?

Deal, just let me know when you're ready

And we're not exactly talking right now so like, no issue on the secret part

He overstepped a boundary, it's.
Whatever. It's not a big deal, I'll still do your thing for him

Are we working on a time frame here? It shouldn't take me long, but you know
spellslots: would be great if you knew where to start looking (seeing yourself for who you really are)

[They'll be fine once Taako stops being cursed because he stole from a cult (he's dumb)]

You could always ask Thor when their winter holiday is

[He means that nicely]
