I'm happy that you're comfortable enough to get on with things.

But that doesn't mean you have to use me for everything

She uses you for everything? That must be uncomfortable...

[agent_romanoff]

...Almost everything.

Luckily she's lenient when it comes to games. I have some say in things...sort of.

[luckywebhead]

Sounds kinda onesided to me...

[agent_romanoff]

I-it's not. We agree on some things.

[Oh how she wishes that sounded convincing]

What games are you currently playing btw dude?

[luckywebhead]

...Uhuh. Like?

uhh i just wander around the memes. i'm pretty new to DW

[agent_romanoff]

[a pause]

Anything with humour and violence is good?

[luckywebhead]

Sure, getting some exercise is pretty fun. *he cracks a grin* Me and my mun have that in common.

[agent_romanoff]

See. [She quirks a small smile] A mutual agreement.

Not onesided at all.

[luckywebhead]

And if I asked your mun she'd tell me you've been doing what else in your other time...?

[slyest]

Isn't that your purpose? To be used by those who hold power over you?

[agent_romanoff]

[She contemplates that for a moment] I'm given orders, but that doesn't mean I have to follow them.

But if it is...[She tilts her head] that's your purpose too then, huh?

[slyest]

[He laughs, a low, quiet chuckle.]

Who do you believe holds power over me?

[agent_romanoff]

The mun deciding your actions.

[She rolls her eyes, mocking him] It's really that simple, Loki. You aren't 'real power' here.

[slyest]

It's certainly easier to tell yourself that, isn't it? To believe the monster contained.

Far be it from me to dispel the illusion.

[agent_romanoff]

Wha- [She just looks at him in confusion. She doesn't think she'd ever get used to the way he talks]

Do you ever speak...not like that? Or is that kind of talking normal in Asgard? [Well Thor does speak the same way....kind of]

[slyest]

I beg your pardon?

[The haughtiness drains out of his expression, to be replaced by a sort of blank confusion.]

What is it about my manner of speaking that you find unfavorable?

[agent_romanoff]

[She shrugs, hiding a smile. At least she got him off the topic of real power and purpose]

The way you speak in riddles? [She frowns a little] What monster? What illusion?

[sworded]

Your psycho been sending you to those 'meme' things I keep hearing about, I take it?

[agent_romanoff]

[Sigh] She's working on it.

[sworded]

Haven't had the pleasure yet, myself. Personally I'm hoping she loses interest before it gets that far.

[agent_romanoff]

Some of the memes don't look that bad.

Maybe she'll put you somewhere fun?

[sworded]

My idea of fun and hers, I can already tell, are at the far ends of a pretty wide discrepancy. Besides, I have no time to be horsing around. I'd much rather be outta here and go back to doing my job.

[agent_romanoff]

What's your idea of fun?

I agree. I have a Russian General to find, i don't have time for this.

[sworded]

Honestly? I spend so much time at work, even I'm in danger of forgetting what that is. Unwinding after another averted hostile alien invasion with a stiff drink and a willing partner would be the gist of it, I suppose. Though sometimes averting said invasion can be pretty fun too -- so long as I get a chance to get in a little target practice and maybe ram my boot up somebody's behind.

Hey, you don't have to tell me about it, sister. They're the ones that aren't listening. Guess just because they have so much free time, they think everyone else's gotta drop everything and play when they want it, too.

[agent_romanoff]

That does sound pretty fun. I haven't had a proper drink since the guys [Well, Tony, Clint, a curious Thor, and an unwilling Steve] started helping themselves to the good stuff. The Captain can't even get drunk and he joins in their games, it's ridiculous.

Exactly. Don't they understand that sometimes we can't just drop everything because they want us to?
