[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]

[fiercestwarrior]

[ Yeah Sif is going to raise a doubting eyebrow here. ]

How can there be a relationship without attachment?

[spellslots]

I mean, just, I like Rin a lot? But if he left I'm not gonna be heartbroken, I don't get that attached.

[He doesn't trust people not to leave, at least, people that aren't Lup.]

[fiercestwarrior]

I see.

[ She can't judge, feelings are exhausting. ]

And that is something you can control?

[ She could stand to take a few lessons. ]

[spellslots]

Pretty much, yeah.

[He's had centuries of practice, closing himself off to anyone but Lup. Eventually the IPRE wormed their way past his defenses, but that took decades.]

I've heard that's kinda weird.

[fiercestwarrior]

I cannot control what I feel, but I do not let it control me.

[ Most of the time, that is... Sif has become very, very good at setting her personal feelings aside at this point. Also from centuries of practice. ]

[spellslots]

I do not find that hard to believe.

[Considering she's been in love with Thor for years and hasn't said anything about it.]
