video @L.Mills

[The video turns on to show a little girl wearing a jean jacket with some store bought brownies on a plate. She looks a little nervous, but it fades when she smiles at the camera.]

So...I was told there were other gods and demigods here. And if none of you are busy, I'd really like to talk to you? Cause...I only know of gods from history books and stories, but it would be nice to know what actually happened and what was really embellished--cause author's tend to do that.

[And then she remembers the brownies.]

I've got brownies too! So...your time's not wasted or anything.

[Hopefully Grandma Emma won't be upset about this...her granddaughter basically asking to talk to strangers...

But really, what's the harm?

...And hopefully the gods and demigods like chocolate.]

Okay, Loki.

Maybe...you could meet my grandma soon? I’d love to hear another story in person.

[ He smiles faintly, despite himself. ]

That depends on your grandmother.

I think she would be okay with it! I mean, she's pretty easy going..maybe you've met her? I mean, she doesn't look grandma age so...

But her name is Emma.

[ Hm. ]

Well, she is welcome to find me.

But how? And there's two of you, so...how will she know she's talking to the right one?

I work at the Gramarye Institute. I am not hard to find.

Oh...and the other Loki doesn't work there?

...What does the other Loki look like anyway?

He is a younger, shorter version of myself. And no, he does not work in Gramarye.

Oh...okay that'll make it easier to tell the difference.

I'll be sure to tell her, so you two can meet and so I can meet you in person too.

[ He will never understand this impulse, the desire to meet and spend time with him but children, at the very least, are still easy to work with. ]

Mm. Let me know when she arrives.

[Because she wants to learn more stories! And...who doesn't want to know more about a God?]

...I can try? I can ask her to meet you, but I don't really know when she'll be able to meet with you.

It's fine. No doubt she will manage.

I hope so! I would like to meet you in person.

[ ??? ]

We shall see what your grandmother decides.

[Because who doesn't like to meet a God? Besides, he seemed like he was cool...maybe not Nico level cool, but he could get there.]

Fine...[A sigh and a pout.]

[ He chuckles. ]

I have no doubt we will reach an accord.

I hope so. You're a great storyteller.

High praise indeed.

..Are you being sarcastic?

Not at all. Compliments are not so easy to come by.

Okay...sorry for asking. I shouldn't have thought you were being rude.

It was not an unfair query.

[ Loki is, after all, an asshole. He's hardly going to be offended over that. ]

[Well, he's been nice so far...]

Well, I shouldn't make assumptions about you.

And...it's a bit hard to tell with your tone and accent if you're being sarcastic or not.

I am the God of Mischief. If I were straightforward, I would be a poor one at that.

Fair point.

[She smiles a little then.] I won't forget.
