Far be it from me to say something can't be at least two things.

And they didn't want to call it pie spice?

[And, a few minutes later, Lin Lie will hopefully be pleased to receive his first selfie from Loki, pointing over his shoulder at a thumbs-up-ing Wanda, who is depending on the writer? a technical younger and apparently the subject of the god's bribe-related niceness for the day.]

[longquan]

Good point, it wouldn't suit you.

Maybe they didn't want people getting confused. They also sell pies here.

[ Ohhhhh a cute update. Frankly from all the option Wanda might be one the people who needs a good day most. ]

Anyway, you and your friend should go try it.

[ He's going to send a picture back of a very Asian looking kitchen with the ingredients to make Kleinur on the table. Good thing that they're a pretty easy recipe; he already had all he needed to make it. ]

[annarr]

We will. She says you're right that I'll like it. She also says that there are popsicles made of cake, so she might have lost her mind.

Is that meant to be a sign of your confidence in me?

[Which.

Aw.]

[longquan]

Tell her I say hi! ヾ(＾∇＾)

I can't believe you don't know what a cake pop is.[ It's almost adorable. ] She's right. There are cakes styled like lollipops, they're round and come covered in icing or chocolate, then attached to sticks. This is how they look.

[file attached Deliciouscakepop.jpg.]

Order a few, or they will be gone in a couple of bite and leave you wanting for more.

Mayyyyybe.

[ Yes, yes it is. And no matter what happens Loki will get his Kleinur. The quality of the Kleinur's shape might be a bit questionable, though. Lin Lies hands shake sometimes, when not fighting. ]

[annarr]

How much time do you think I spend following all your realm's little trends?

[Those do look tasty tho. It's weird to be immediately pegged this well.]

Just say you want me to get you some.

I suppose I'll make an effort, then x

[longquan]

Do you have anything better to do? Plus I am only telling you about the tasty drinks and foods. That's worth paying attention to.

[ Enjoying cake is universal, don't feel too called out. ]

Oh! Would you? I wouldn't say no to that.

:) Good!

[annarr]

I do all sorts of important things, you know. I'm a whole prince and everything.

We'll have an exchange, then. When I behave myself immaculately all day.

[longquan]

Right, true. Do you need to meet with other realm's representatives? Go to galas? Kiss a few enchanted frogs, mayhap?

Sounds fantastic. Yes, go show me how well you do.

[annarr]

Oh, frequently. Thor's terrible at it, I'm sure you'll not be surprised to hear.

[Give it a minute, but before long there will be some scrawny magic users doing more thumbs-up selfies outside of a Coffee A Go-Go.]

[longquan]

I can't say that's shocking news. He is incredible in a fight, but Thor doesn't strike me as someone with the patience for these things or a political enthusiast.

You have more charm. When you're not purposely messing with people, that's it.

[ Aw. It even looks like they're having real fun. ]

Have you decided what you'd do after the coffee and snacks, or are you two just catching up and gossiping?

[annarr]

I think it's the reading that does him in. I'm not entirely certain he knows how, poor lamb.

I'm charming always.

[That's a bold claim, Cotton.]

Does gossiping count as being nice?

[longquan]

Come on, Thor knows how to read.
...right?

[ Don't be afraid of experiencing whimsy, Loki. ]

Plenty of people seem to bond and have a great time doing that, so I'd say it does.

[annarr]

Maybe!

[...it was probably a good call not trying to be nice to Thor all day.]

We'll try to do so in the least chaotic way possible, then.

[longquan]

Ah, that's 100% classic siblin trash talk.

[ He just knew it. ]

There's a good boy. You don't need to keep updating me if you don't want, just enjoy your evening together.

[annarr]

Well, but I'm the smart sibling.

[And then, radio silence for several several hours, with an ultimate voice note via Loki's phone from Wanda Maximoff, averring laughingly that the god behaved himself admirably.

If there was also a news alert about hooligans breaking into a zoo to chill with the big cats, what of it. Couldn't be them. Never mind the descriptions of the suspects, those could be anyone.]

[longquan]

Maybe, but a moment ago you practically said the bar is so low it's a tripping hazard in hell.

[ So, Loki being smarter is not much of a shock.

He's going to assume that no updates means they are really having a good enough time. He puts music on and then listens to the news as he works on the kleinur—getting the shapes right without breaking them is tricky—and pauses in wonder when he hears the news about the zoo.

They could not possibly...? Oh, who is he kidding? They absolutely would. Hey, as long as no animals eat anyone's face, then it's all good.

He's the one to text Loki another picture of the finished pastries. ]

I think I did okay. [ It's a whole basket, so Loki can share them with others if he wants. Granted, they're a little misshapen, but he had also added a generous amount of powdered sugar to compensate for that. ]

Did you get to pet a tiger? I always liked them, it's a shame they would probably eat my hand.
Forbidden kitty.

[annarr]

[Another nice long pause, because hanging out with friends is genuinely nice (and nicer still when those friends appreciate the fine art of being an agent of chaos).

Also a small pause because it is... weirdly nice to see the effort the picture represents. It's all goofs, true, but it also feels warm somewhere in his chest. Having friends is genuinely weird.]

I suspect you did well enough for a trade x

I'm certain I don't know what you're talking about. But it's 90% confidence, especially when they're in zoos.

[longquan]

[ See, Loki only has to surround himself with the right kind of people to have fun and feel appreciated. It's a fine art sometimes.

Loki deserved the kleinur, even if it's not a high quality one. ]

That sounds like high praise coming form you. Ohhhh You really got me cake pops, then?

[ He wasn't counting on that, but it's a lovely surprise. ]

Oh, nothing important, certainly nothing about a certain someone breaking and entering. As much as I'd like to believe that a tiger would sense my good vibes and let me give it a hug if I showed enough confidence, I'm not foolish enough to try. So, consider me very jealous of Wanda and you.

[annarr]

[Who, Loki? Learn something from this little experiment? It's more likely unlikely possible than you think.]

You're really so surprised?

Snitches, however, do not get cake pops.

[He's pretty sure that's the old Midgardian chestnut.]

In fairness, that's one of an incredible number of reasons you should be jealous of us x

[longquan]

There's hoping he might, no matter what. If not, then perhaps he has to repeat the pleasant experience again; you know, just do some more testing to see if it sticks.

Only a little. Starbucks isn't cheap, and you didn't really have to bring me anything. What flavors did you get?

Aww, but it's a good thing I also don't know what you are talking about, right? のωの

[ He would be giving Loki an innocent look as well if they were face-to-face. ]

Tell me some of the others, then. [ He wants to know how your day went! ]

[annarr]

Were we supposed to pay for them?

A very good thing. I hope you like lemon pound cake xx

Fashion sense, first of all.

[So less storytime and more being obnoxious, it would seem.]

[longquan]

That's usually how it goes. Helps to avoid being kicked out or arrested for theft.

I do. And as a general rule, my favorite food is free food.

[ He's easy like that. Also poor, shhh. ]

Oi. My fashion sense is just fine. What, do you want me try on a suit or something?

[ Classic Loki, Lin Lie was missing it. ]

[annarr]

Ah. That will have been our first mistake.

I promise this tastes like extra freedom, even.

Yes. Yes, I would like that.

[longquan]

Now you know, for the next time.

[ Would there be a next time? Up to Loki ]

Hah.I'm going to refrain from making a Captain America joke.

Tough luck then, I don't have a suit nor can I afford it. I have more traditional clothing, but that's about it.

[annarr]

Perhaps, but they *are* still trying to catch me for the first time. So I'm not overly worried.

Why refrain?

You say that like I don't have a closet. [Are they the same size? No, but whatever.] Hurtful, and also rude.
