It's been made clear that I'm not the only one who enjoys a good game here. Tell me, darlings, what sorts of games do you play best?

[ What sorts of games she's even talking about is questionable. Political games? Board games? Video games? She won't specify but she will take all answers. After all, it's good to find out just what sorts of things people are up to.

What sorts of games she prefers are clearly the ones she wins, if the fact that she's dressed in a bathing suit and appears to be leaning over the edge of a.. jacuzzi... with a glass of wine set next to it... has anything to say about that... ]

Again with the dreaming, darling. I'd never care to know you that well.

[ The fact that they're being little shits at each other like this is practically evidence that they're friends lbr.. ]

[action]

[vaframenti]

Have I overstepped my boundaries again?

[ Yeah, pretty much. ]

[action]

[impureheart]

You sound too excited over that, darling. Do not tell me you enjoy getting hit?

[action]

[vaframenti]

No, though I suspect you enjoyed doing the hitting.

[action]

[impureheart]

I also enjoy pushing people off of buildings and a good beheading, but we're all in here for something.

[ That's not actually what she's in here for, but if she's stuck in here forever there's little point in hiding that. ]

[vaframenti]

I would have thought beheading to be much too messy for a Queen to enjoy.

[action]

[impureheart]

A queen can enjoy what she likes. That's be half the fun of being one.

[action]

[vaframenti]

Even if those things run the risk of soiling her reputation?

[action]

[impureheart]

My reputation of being a kind and forgiving person?

[ That was one amazing myth that Loki was believing. Even her business partners probably thought it was entirely possible that she would kill someone if things didn't go her way, even if there was never any proof. She was, after all, very careful to have everything cleaned up properly. ]

[vaframenti]

I only know your reputation for what you've done here. It could have been shockingly different on the other side.

[ He didn't really believe in much one way or another. Most of what he said was solely for the sake of earning a reaction. ]

[impureheart]

I play nice if I need to, but it would not do if people didn't know not to cross me.

[action]

[vaframenti]

True enough. You've thought of every angle, haven't you?

[action]

[impureheart]

When you play games with others, the only way to ensure your right to win is to see the board from their side and make sure that they only see what you need them to.

[action]

[vaframenti]

A sound strategy unless they have the same idea. Then things become much more interesting.

[action]

[impureheart]

That's what I call a game worth playing, darling.

[action]

[vaframenti]

I couldn't agree more.

[ Loki took another drink of the wine before setting it on a nearby table. ]

Unless we have other matters to discuss, your Majesty, I would hate to take up any more of your time.

[action]

[impureheart]

Not for now. I'm sure you need plenty of rest, darling.

[ She takes a sip of her wine, using her other hand to flick her wrist at him. ]

Shoo.

[action]

[vaframenti]

Ah, but you know how the saying goes. No rest for the wicked.

[ Was he referring to himself or the Queen? God only knew. ]

We'll speak again soon.

[ He bowed to her a final time before taking his leave. ]
