(Dangit Taako she's hasn't actually asked Loki for his contact information yet. She gives him a deadpan look, and just holds it in her lap.)

Fair point. I'll have to ask around.

[spellslots]

[He eyes her for a moment, then smiles a little smugly.]

Don't have his number, huh?

[scholiast]

I don't like to bother him outside of work hours, is all.

[spellslots]

He's pretty fun to bother, just saying.

[He doesn't know if Lucretia and Loki will get along quite as easily as he does with them, but there's no harm in trying. Probably.]

[scholiast]

Oh, I wouldn't want to go that far. He's been quite helpful with my research project.

(Wipe that smug smirk off your face Taako.)

[spellslots]

[This is what she gets for forgiving him.]

Well, you know what gods are like. Always helpful.

[scholiast]

(Biggest regret.)

Some more so than others. Who knew there'd be so many walking among us here, huh.

[spellslots]

If it helps any, they're not really gods, Loki and Thor. But don't go spreading it around, I think they like to maintain the image.

[Thor told Bryn, who told Taako, but he's mostly kept it to himself so as not to ruin their fun.]

[scholiast]

What are they if they're not really gods? But, duly noted.

(Don't worry, she's just going to make a couple adjustments to her notes later.)

[spellslots]

Kinda aliens, I guess? They were so advanced that when they showed up on Earth, the humans there called 'em gods.

[It's similar to suggestions that other people have made, about their gods, and it never sits well with Taako. He's not stupid.]

[scholiast]

We're kinda aliens, (she points out, and grins.) Does this mean we're on the same level?

(Maybe they should find a planet to go and become gods on. Wait, she's thinking of people like Taako, and Lup and Merle. Bad call, never mind.)

[spellslots]

If you can cast unlimited spells and summon magic lightning hammers then for sure we're on the same level.

[As much as Taako has an ego, he's well aware of his own limitations.]

[scholiast]

Oh, well. When you put it that way we've got a couple levels to go yet huh.

[spellslots]

At least, uh, four? Four levels sounds about right.

[Remember when they had serious conversations.]

[scholiast]

(literally no)

Speak for yourself, I only need two.

[spellslots]

Did you forget the part where I'm a higher level than you.

[fight him]

[scholiast]

Oh, are you a higher level than me?

(put up ya dukes nerd)

[spellslots]

Level sixteen, pumpkin.

[Which... reminds him.]

I saw some of my future. Our future, I guess.

[scholiast]

Sixteen?

(Okay, all jokes aside when did that happen. She blinks.)

Did you? How?

[spellslots]

Same as the future shit, they get these canisters from the portal and it's kinda like experiencing it? I.. I dunno how to really explain it.

[It was a very strange time, and he's not sure how to put it into words.]

I got like twenty four hours? [There's a lot that happened, including an upsetting interaction with Lucretia, but the most important thing:] Lup's back. She's okay.

[scholiast]

Lup's– wait, when did this happen?

(This is a lot all at once and right out of the blue, but her heart soars upon hearing that Lup is okay.)

She's alive?

[spellslots]

She's all lichy, but that's, you know, we'll figure something out. If we survive the rest of the bullshit coming our way.

[But he feels... hope, now, in a way he didn't before. Knowing that Lup is okay makes winning seem possible.]

[scholiast]

We will.

(She has the same hopeful feeling; her mouth is threatening a smile.) Thank you for telling me that, Taako.

(Of course it doesn't change what will happen between the pair of them and between her and Lup, but it's... a huge weight off her shoulders, to know that Lup will be okay.)

[spellslots]

[It might not change it, but to Taako it makes a difference. It's easier to think about forgiving Lucretia, now that he knows he hasn't lost Lup forever.

But that's enough emotions for the day.]

Oh, and I got dumped. Now you're all caught up.

[shrug emoji]

[scholiast]

(She gives him a half exasperated, half sympathetic look.)

Are you dumping all of this on me at once so you don't have to go into any specifics?

(Still, she leans in and gives him a little peck on the temple.) Sorry to hear it all the same.
