However, this time as Loki uncloaks his magic and steps into Taako's living room, there is another man there and Loki blinks, wondering if he should leave. ]
Who are you?
no subject
When he sees Loki he pauses mid-bite, startled for only a moment. Based on Loki's appearance, he can register almost instantly that this is one of Taako's friends. (It's not hard to figure out who Taako hangs around.)
Only because he's stunned, he speaks with his mouth half-full:]
Magnus?
no subject
Chew with your mouth closed.
[ He glances around, his mouth pressed in a firm thin line. ]
Is he not here?
no subject
Uh. [A shrug.] He'll be back soon. I'm just hangin' out.
[He pauses, still uneasy because this dude has just waltzed into the room like it's no big deal and hasn't even introduced himself.] Who are you again?
no subject
I am Loki. An . . . acquaintance.
no subject
...Define acquaintance.
no subject
A person who knows another person.
no subject
I meant how do you know Taako?
no subject
[ Months ago. Around the time Loki first started his work in Riverview. It's almost hard to recall. Time moves differently for him after all. ]
We have . . . "hung" together since.
no subject
Oh, I gotcha. That checks out.
[Then, he asks (just for clarification, really):]
... You're just friends, right?
no subject
Is there something else we should be?
no subject
No, no, no. I was just, uh, checkin'.
[Aaaaaawkward. There's a pause, and then Magnus attempts to remedy the situation.]
You wanna sit and chill until he gets back?
no subject
For a while, I suppose. I will not overstay my welcome.
no subject
[Nonchalant, he takes another bite of his cake. Then he realizes that, technically, he doesn't actually live here. It still feels so natural to be in Taako and Lup's space that he forgets he needs to explain his own presence. Before he explains himself, he makes a point to swallow his food first.]
Oh—Right, okay, so. I'm like, a family friend. I kinda used to live with the twins before we came to Riverview so I tend to just chill out here a lot.
[Hopefully that takes some of the pressure off of the situation.]
no subject
I am vaguely familiar. He has spoken of you.
[ He frowns. ]
Though I cannot recall if it was you or Barry that had designs on unicorn dicks.
no subject
... I don't know what you're talking about there, but I have absolutely no history with unicorn dicks. And I don't think Barry does, either.
[...yeeeeeesh, Barry.]
no subject
[ He shrugs loosely, watching Magnus' confusion with bemusement. ]
No matter. Taako will clarify it for me.
no subject
So, Loki, what's up in your life? What do you do?
[Is it smart to try to make small talk with this dude? He'll at least give it a try.]
no subject
I . . . am a magical researcher and advisor at the Gramarye institute.
no subject
Neat! I know some people over there. Do you have a specialty?
no subject
Illusionary magic. Though I am capable of other feats.
no subject
[With some hesitation, he says,] Show me one!
no subject
no subject
O... okay, you can make it stop now.
[Please.]
no subject
Does that meet your criteria?
