[See, now that's something that's actually a little bit scandalous, but he doesn't react with any drama, just a raised eyebrow.]

Shit, same, if you go with kissing instead of bedding, and months instead of years. [His grin is light, to put her at ease.] So like, not the same at all, really.

[This is his way of saying that it's not a big deal, and that he's not going to tell anyone.]

[fiercestwarrior]

I love him so much.

[ She wipes angrily at her eyes with her sleeves, frustrated with herself for being such a mess. She isn't supposed to be the messy one! ]

I just wanted to say it out loud for once.

[ Since her cover is blown anyway. ]

[spellslots]

[Okay, so, that's a little awkward, considering Taako is very close with Brny, who Thor is... kind of with, right now.

(He's assuming that Sif means Thor. The idea she means Loki is laughable at best).]

I'm sorry, bubbale.

[can't relate, though.]

Was this one of those pining in secret things?

[fiercestwarrior]

Yes.

[ Time to take a deep breath and compose herself. Thank the stars for this coffee thing. ]

It is fine. How is it you say it... "the struggle is real?" But I will get over it.

[ Clearly this is a boat she has no intention of rocking. ]

I suspect I'll have enough trouble coming my way from Ragnar Lothbrok to keep me quite busy.

[spellslots]

That's what the kids call it, for sure.

[His voice is still gentle enough, despite the slight joke.]

So you're gonna see this dude again?

[fiercestwarrior]

[ That is very sweet of him. ]

Not to sleep with him, but he is a member of the guard like myself.

[spellslots]

[Look, he can be gentle and also a shit, which is exactly what he's planning to do.

Taako drops an elbow onto the table, chin in hand.]

Was the sex not great?

[fiercestwarrior]

[ Have fun watching Sif nearly choke on her coffee. ]

Taako!

[spellslots]

[Worth it.]

Hey, listen, I've had some real shitty sex before, happens to the best of us.

[And he is, of course, the best.]

It's a totally valid reason for not seeing a dude again.

[fiercestwarrior]

The sex was...

[ Gotta clear her throat some more, hold up. ]

It was wonderful, if I am to be honest.

[spellslots]

[That's much better, if less fun to tease her about.]

But the wife thing? Or the Thor thing? Did he tell you about the wife thing before or after, cause it's kinda shitty if it was after.

[fiercestwarrior]

The Thor thing is...

[ She makes a dismissive gesture. It doesn't have much to do with her decisions regarding this. ]

The wife thing, yes. And when he looks at me...

[ She mimes an explosion with her hand, and adds a little sound effect. ]

I have no time for such foolishness. But he did tell me he is married before anything happened.

[ She gives herself a moment to just savor the taste of delicious hashbrown before she adds a final thing to what she has to say. ]

But I am being selfish. How have things been with you, my friend?

[spellslots]

[Oh, big mood]

I get that, for sure, sometimes people are just more trouble than they're worth.

[Looks directly at Magnus, though for different reasons.]

I've been wonderful, darling, although since we're talking about boys and trouble, can I just like - check your feelings vis-à-vis dark elves?

[Because Loki has made life Difficult on this front and he'd like to check that Sif isn't gonna be a dick]

[fiercestwarrior]

From my realm?

[ There is an important distinction to be made there. ]

[spellslots]

Nah, specifically not from your realm.

[Since yeah, he gets that.]

[fiercestwarrior]

[ She shrugs. ]

There are apparently realms where I am Thor's wife, that does not make me his spouse.

[ Her point being that she can't blame people for something they had no part in.

Sure she does that wholesale THEY ARE THE ENEMY thing as well as any asgardian but there have to be limits. ]

[spellslots]

Cool, thanks, it's not like - a major issue, but Rin's a drow and apparently a couple of your lot have had some problems with that.

[Loki and Angela, mostly.]

[fiercestwarrior]

And a drow is a dark elf?

[spellslots]

Yup, but from a world like mine. So, uh, my kinda elf, not yours.

[Not some kinda weird alien elves.

Taako shrugs]

I mean, listen, I've probably got a little drow in me, or moon elf, but that shit never really mattered to me.

[fiercestwarrior]

Then I see no reason for hostility. Unless he hurts you, of course.

[spellslots]

[That makes him feel better, and Taako's smile is warm even as he reaches across the table to pat Sif's hand.]

Oh, darling, no one hurts Taako.

[When it comes to relationships, that kind of hurt would require him to give a part of himself that he's not even sure exists, some days.]

You don't have to worry about that.

[fiercestwarrior]

[ Sif uses her free hand to pat Taako's in return. ]

Good. Gutting people is messy.

[spellslots]

Not at the table.

[He's just joking, they can always talk about disembowling someone at the table.]

You would have to get into line, though. Lup's never had the chance to beat up a boyfriend of mine before.

[because of that whole not letting people hurt him thing.]

[fiercestwarrior]

Of course. A sister's right comes first.

Have you only had very well-behaved lovers in the past, or simply not lasting ones?

[spellslots]

The latter one, I don't, uh... [He waves a hand through the air, a lazy, dismissive sort of gesture.] Cha boy doens't really date, or didn't, I guess.

[He's done it twice here, although he realizes in restrospect that the first attempt was a big mistake driven by his loneliness and inability to cope with that.]

And I don't get attached.

[BIG OLD LIE]
