Oh, so we're doing this now?

Look, I'm flattered. Really. But I've got things to do. So if we could just wrap this up, that'd be great. You know what I mean. Short attention span, sparkly things, great combination. Least it means this won't take long.

Word of advice?

Don't do anything I wouldn't do.

[A shrug.]

All right.

[manofiron]

[ He's been making himself drinks for so long that it takes only a handful of seconds to pour Loki a drink. Rum, not poison. And he hands it over immediately. ]

Best money can buy. On the rocks. Let me know what you think.

[aburdenglorious]

[Loki takes a sip, and then another.]

Sweeter than I imagined.

[manofiron]

That good or bad? Give me a base of comparison here.

[aburdenglorious]

Good. Is all Midgardian drink so watered down, though?

[manofiron]

You're not talking about the ice cubes are you? Now I'm curious. What is it you drink back home?

[aburdenglorious]

Mead. Made from honey. Of course, Asgardian mead has been aging for centuries, without spoil.

[manofiron]

And there's no chance any of it's ever coming down here, is there?

[aburdenglorious]

Mayhaps Thor could bring you some. I know not what it may do to a mortal.

[manofiron]

What can I say, I like living dangerously.

[aburdenglorious]

As you have said.

In Asgard the tradition is to drink mead from a hollowed horn of an animal, full to the brim, until you cannot or until it empties.

[manofiron]

That happen often? Someone can't finish it?

just shoving viking knowledge in here yup

[aburdenglorious]

Your question pertains to how many they have had already. Feasting can last weeks.

[manofiron]

You Asgardians really know how to party, don't you?

[aburdenglorious]

They think of little better to do, when not at war.

[manofiron]

What's a mortal gotta do to get an invite to one of these parties?

[aburdenglorious]

Are you not comrades with Thor? He would gladly invite you, I am sure of it.

[manofiron]

Well, he hasn't yet. I'm starting to think he doesn't like me.

[aburdenglorious]

You must ask Thor these things. He's quite simple minded, after all. Every dog needs encouragement.

[manofiron]

Maybe that's the problem. I was never very good with pets. Most kids had dogs? I had a supercomputer.

[aburdenglorious]

[Loki laughs.]

Perhaps the same, for me.

[But you know, dark corners and sigils and magic.]

[manofiron]

Was that common ground? That sounded like common ground.

[ He grins, cocky, confident, and totally happy to push his luck. ]

Much better than tossing me through windows. I think so, anyway.

[aburdenglorious]

Skøl.

[He downs the rest of the rum easily.]

It was quite dramatic regardless, if I do say so myself.

[manofiron]

For the record, less is generally believed to be more.

[ By everyone but Tony, but he's not going to mention that. ]

[aburdenglorious]

I have done nothing in my millennia half way, Stark.
