#loki 'i don't need magic to be clever' friggason

[tempusetveritas]

She doesn't resist when he moves her hand, knowing he'll get his way regardless - and in spite of herself, she smiles as the meal tokens land in her palm. "I'll take your word for that; it isn't like I've got any experience with magic to base a counter-argument on, is it?"

At his added warning, she raises her eyebrows. "Tell Renslayer? Are you kidding?"

The god’s face splits into a grin the moment it becomes apparent that his friend is unlikely to respond with admonishment. However, instead of holding out her own hand, B15 answers his question with one of her own. Well that won’t do.

Reaching out unoccupied fingers, Loki grasps her hand and lifts it up, manipulating it into a cup shape before tipping almost all the meal tokens into it. “I’m sure you’d love to know how I got these, but to answer the question you actually asked: before. It would hardly be such an achievement if I’d used magic, would it?” A debatable statement in terms of truthfulness, but he shrugs self-satisfiedly nonetheless. “Just don’t tell Renslayer.”
