The comments I've caught are less about protocols and more about me personally and where I grew up. Which in the end makes you no better than the shit group you're spying on, because you're both judging me for things I don't have control over.
Sounds like I'm bringing a good portion of whatever she's been working on to when I bring her back. She enlisted me for lift and carry work.
All I asked was what you were doing here, in this chat. You put the tone into it. Don’t be so hasty to judge people yourself. Has anybody actually said anything to that effect? Scroll back up and read everything again.
Just because you’ve been hurt in the past doesn’t mean you can just assume everyone’s out to get you.
[ She could also learn to be more trusting, but, you know. People are often blind to their own faults. There’s also the pressure she feels from being Fenrir’s sister, that she’s a surefire way into the heart of the Resistance given that he is, in fact, in charge. She hopes that information hasn’t gotten to Odin yet, but with everything in chaos lately, who’s to say it hasn’t? ]

Seemed like tone. And felt like I'm being judged for where I come from.
I'm sorry if I'm taking things personally.
[ He has no intention to use her as a way into the resistance. To be fair, he believes their right about stopping Odin, and the work they're doing. Though he has a interest in her as her, if she'd just give him a chance to get to know him. As for that information getting to Odin, he's stopped some of it from reaching Odin as he can with his connections in Asgard. Which is also why she's still not being questioned when she does occasionally sneak in. He's been trying to keep information slower to flit around Asgard as he can, and to squash some of it in other ways to keep them safe. Not that it's anything tangible to show for it, past his saying he did it. Which is why he hasn't bothered to say anything. ]
Do you want anything to eat for when you get here? I'm making sandwiches, but if Loki's making you lift and carry, you'd probably be hungrier than that.
No, but you decided to join us at the wrong time. [ She can't say more without revealing anything, which she'd been told not to. But things are bad, so his timing, really, is suspicious. ] Loki will tell you about it.
Careful with your words around here. There are so many ways people can take your ability to 'eat almost anything.' [ Too bad text can't convey tone because she's trying to not grin and failing. ]
And despite what I said, I will make everyone cocktails. What do you want? Or do you drink almost anything too?
Is there really ever a right time to join a rebellion? [ Look, he knows something's going on around him that no one is letting him be privy to. But really, if you're in a war with the power, is there truly a good time to join? Everything is careful, calculated, and needing to be cautious. ] I'll wait until she's ready.
Dually noted. And now I'm really curious what exactly you're implying I might also eat. [ Sweet summer child. He gets it, but does he get it completely? Probably not. He's kind of single-mindedly focused on someone to get it completely. ]
Almost anything, yeah. Though I'd love to know what you suggest.
I'm sorry my timing isn't ideal. But I'm also here now. [ She's been in his bed enough, spent more than enough time to know he has reasons to want Odin replaced, stopped. She knows what's at stake for him here too. ]
You might need to remind me.
[ She's also not ignoring their history anymore. Small favors. ]
I might be a little hyper for an espresso martini - but does Loki drink them? Could have one ready for her, she might need the caffeine. I can go simple, just a scotch or whiskey.

I'm sorry if I'm being too hard on you.

[ See, she's not hostile! ]
[ private ]
I knew I'd have to prove myself to everyone, just didn't realize it would take so long, be so hard.
I... yeah, thanks. Whatever kind you're already making. I'll eat almost anything.
And despite what I told Garm, I will make sure to bring some chocolate back for everyone, not just Loki. When I get back with her.

You're cute, but come on. You know what I mean. You and I both know you have some experience in that area.
[ Hallelujah, she is finally not ignoring his existence or something. ]
I was going to say espresso martini, but you're not the one who needs the caffeine.

I've got what Loki needs. She's done this enough, though I worry every time anyway. Anyway, I'll pour you one of those when you get here.

I've missed what we had before I came here... [ He's emotionally invested. ]
I promise I'll bring her home safe once we load everything she has for e to bring back with her. And thanks. I really appreciate it.

Thank you.
