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.

The only collector I know has always been pretty talkative when it comes to his hobby, but who knows? Might be time to do some detective work!

That, or you could try to find a way to help him unwind. This guy must be pretty stressed if even food's making him nervous...

Detective work, huh? I could try that.

[ He wonders how Loki will handle a sudden bout of questions. Then again, Steve can always play it off as a game. That seems to be Loki's wheelhouse. He might enjoy the questioning if it's presented the right way. ]

Yeah. He's... got a lot on his mind. More than he can talk about. That's why I need to do this.

It sounds like he's pretty lucky to have you looking out for him.

[ It wasn't all that long ago that Raven lost someone similar. She's kind of glad she didn't respond by video now. ]

Your heart's in the right place, so I'm sure you'll work something out eventually. Good luck.

Well, I. Thank you. He has family here too, but I do like to think I provide entertainment at least.

What about you? You seem to know a lot about people. Do you get asked questions like this all the time?

Heh, you'd be surprised how much good entertainment can help a person.

Not really... My partner was always a bit of a do-gooder, I guess she must've rubbed off on me.

At least I'll always have that going for me. Maybe not intentionally, but he smiles.

A do-gooder? She sounds like someone I'd like to meet.
