ah, whoops. he's figured out pretty quickly this is not in fact the anubis he knows and — well, tolerates mostly. actually, it seems like this is just some human. gross; for a moment, loki has the fleeting impulse to wash his hands, as if he's touched a particularly loathsome insect. ( who KNOWS where he's been? wasn't but a few millennia ago where they were still crawling in the dirt. ) ❝ hmm? hmm. ❞ the trickster hums, head tilting to and fro as if this is a matter that requires observation from a multitude of angles. he also gives him one last little shake for good measure — because clearly he enjoyed it so much the first time around. ❝ are you lying to me? ❞ loki asks, despite knowing full well at this point that the stranger most certainly isn't. it's just more amusing to feign ignorance. then he can pretend this was one big joke — and that he definitely did NOT mistake this overgrown mayfly for a fellow god. ❝ you are, aren't you? stealing my thunder? mischief and trickery are my domain — or is that headdress on tight enough to cut off the blood flow to your brain? ❞
he releases his grip, though the reprieve is brief; loki drifts up, levitating just high enough to rest his elbow atop the human's head. ❝ you know, abby, ❞ the god begins, ❝ we don't spend nearly enough time together. we should change that. ❞ one leg crosses over the other. ❝ wanna get lunch? ahh, nah — that's boring, isn't it? shame we can't just smite a civilization or two — there's waaay too many rules these days. i think zeusy's getting complacent in his old age ... but you didn't hear that from me. ❞
he flits away, instead choosing to levitate in front of the human. ❝ here's an idea ... why don't you choose for us? ❞ loki props his chin in his hands, eyes glittering with something playful yet cruel — like a cat peering down at a mouse trapped beneath its paws. ❝ entertain me. or don't. ❞ the trickster tilts his head. ❝ i'll just make my own fun, in that case ... but we both know how that usually goes, huh? ❞ the implication is deliberately ominous.
