[He had to get to Loki first before Loki got to Jason. He knew that. So literally as soon as Samhain ends and he has the chance and he's tucked away in Spire 10 again he calls. He can't bring himself to use video right now.]
...how did you know?
[That's all he asks. He doesn't specify, but the question is "how did you know I was sneaking off to see someone?"
He probably should have specified.]

[ he's back in Redgate, a pen in hand while he scribbles something. he'd been expecting this call.
he scribbles while he talks. ]
I didn't, but you confirmed it.
[ it was a hunch, really. he meant to make sure that Hiro remained alive, but he found out something else in the process. it wasn't the first time. ]

[Loki was perhaps even harder to think of Christmas presents for than Jason. Jason at least he could get the bag of holding. He didn't want to risk getting even more from Hermione and so he had to be very creative with what he was doing.
So instead, the package that's delivered to Loki in Redgate is a box. In that box are a few things including a copy of the Unseelie-biased history book with a note that says "Curious about your thoughts (and if you don't want it give it back, I could use a second copy)", a handful of nice notebooks and fountain pens (because what else do you get a teacher), an updated Drabwurldian map with sections colored in that Hiro's visited and littered with his notes (Spires 10, 9, 3, Leathann, Treun, and the Station), one of these stupid things with a note that says "since blenders don't work here…instant sorta-milkshake?", what appears to be a book of puns and jokes, and finally one leather-bound journal tied with a raven feather to the front of it. With it is another small sticky note that says "just because you have to follow the story at home doesn't mean you have to here. PS this bird came from Merida, molted on my desk, tried to peck me and left."
In addition, there's also a bag of bacon and maple syrup cookies and a short note on top of the entire box.
"I wanted to get you a puppy because you could probably use the company, but I don't know where to find one. Sorry. Next time though."]

I need you to stick a tracker on Hiro. For good. I know that right now, our resources are spread thin, but I can't be worrying about where he's run off to while I'm helping Ariadne.
[There's a beat.
And then a longer one.]
I'm sorry I wasn't there to help her. ... You. I can't believe—[His voice is thick and husky. They're his fucking friends, and this fucking happened.]

[ she doesn't answer until later. there's an impromptu audience with Morla to be had. her rage turned to bitterness, and when she answers there's no whimsy Loki, no one willing to crack a joke, just bright eyes that unmistakably inhuman.
she's settled on a roof, her expression tight. ]
No one conducts a surprise attack when conditions are better for your enemies. [ there's a little bit of dryness to it. ] What had befallen on us would have befallen on you. Misery loves company, but the extent would seem excessive.
Your anger is better here, now. [ her expression softens somewhat. ] Thanks.

Are you busy? I want to talk to you about some stuff.
There's little Thor needs to bring with him on this hunt for the NightMare. He has his armour and Mjolnir at his side. Though the Monarchs of Caer Scima granted him a mount, he feels he'll have better luck on foot.
There is one thing, however.
Thor makes his way to his brother's chambers. He knocks, then waits to be admitted. As he waits, he thinks wryly of the times in their shared youth when Thor had been less courteous about waiting to be invited.

There's a book between his fingers when Thor arrives. He's reclining on his bed lazily, enjoying his few moments of free time while lazily flipping through the pages. The knock doesn't come as a surprise until he calls and Thor enters. He lowers his book and gives him a curious look that says "since when?"
"You've made yourself at home. Come to borrow a few books?" he says with a hint of a smile. From the looks of it, Thor definitely isn't here to take interest in Loki's vast library.

[Just. A ton of this face. A ton, Loki. June has been a terrible month and he's tired, and cranky, and he's been perfecting his report for Graves and he hasn't turned it in yet but it doesn't matter because something Very Tragic Has Happened.]
I need you to drop whatever you're doing and bake cookies with me.

[ luckily, luckily for Hiro, Loki's in Diasbaile after recovering from the silver sickness. he's been going through notes and working on a few projects. when Hiro demands his attention, he's at his desk, leaning back against his chair with his legs crossed at the knee, carving runes into a box.
he pauses. ]
Hello to you too, o demander of baked goods. May I ask what the occasion is?

I've been waiting for follow up, but odds are that might be waiting a little bit. Did you know that there was a fight during the fall of Caer Scima? It hasn't been widely advertised, but Ridire and his avatar was in our very own castle.
[ A soaking wet Billy is staring cheerfully into his locket. The ocean can be seen behind him, if Loki's looking for any explanations. ]
So, apparently we had a torrid love affair and a terrible break-up, and that's why you kept running away from me. [ He'll put a hand over his heart, deadpanning the next part. ] Shot through the heart and you're to blame.

[ automatically: ] I give love a bad name, I know.
[ this is so unbelievable that he just goes with it, his eyebrows raised a little in muted amusement. ] Do I get the dirty details of this love affair, or am I going to have to make them up each time someone asks.
Speaking of that—no one has asked.

Loki--
Passing note, of use to you: the cycle has been going on for some time, with Seelie victory consistently. Matrons at the Tower mentioned it, and I don't doubt them.
Good luck.

[In this thread, there will be no mention of what came before. Jason has no desire to be reminded of the previous month, of his fight with Loki, or much of anything else.
As such, he proceeds as normal:]
I need you to get somewhere private and ward it up. We've gotta talk.

[ he hopes, vainly, that she doesn't go back to look. that the conversation somehow became erased in the back-and-forth of whatever trauma had been caused. (another part of him hopes, just as vainly, that it hadn't. he hopes that it'll come back. that it'll destroy him.)
it takes him a while to respond. ]
Just what was she?

The 20th, past sundown, the Lady A's place. Please be there.
Come to me in the mountains as soon as you are able. You may approach, but be discreet.
My dragons must learn to tolerate teleportation.

[ well, he can't say that he was expecting that. eventually, maybe. but today? surprise, surprise. he tips his head at the message on his locket, snapping it shut and tapping it against the heavy oak of his desk. he's surrounded in his work, books and manuscripts, relics collected and those of his own making, and he chuckles lowly in their company. ]
Perhaps I should bring a few balloons and a cake in celebration ...
[ he says to his imps, possibly, or himself. he doesn't linger long, he raises with a stretch, testing the flexibility in his elbows and knees. when he finds it satisfactory, he moves for his coat, slinging it over his shoulder. ]
"Congratulations on the children"? No, that sounds terrible. "For the children"? Ah ...
[ there's a murmur in an old language and a snap of his fingers and he's off. it takes hardly any effort to find her, between tracking spells and the ease inwhich he teleported, he flickered through the peaks until he saw the shadow of one of them. he appears around one of grander rock formations in the mountain pass. he figures they'll sniff him out, but he knows that both his scent and his presence are most likely more than foreign to them. well, it's time to see if it gets him eaten. ]

If you're reading this, I've been dead for three days and the Queen has not revived me.
Loki,
This sounds a bit silly and if I was still alive, I don't think I'd ever admit to it, but if death is good for one thing, it's for honesty.
I didn't really know you as well as I liked, but I liked what I saw, what I heard. You always came across as someone in the know, but you were haughty about it. I guess what I mean is that it seemed as if you understood that this world and all worlds were worth it. (Whatever 'it' was. Lots of honesty, but no answers.)
Maybe I looked up to you? Or was envious of that? Or just thought it was good. Hard to tell.
Keep yourself alive,
Harry.

Your good buddy Waver wants to see one of your love letters. Apparently he's very interested to see how you might butter him up.
[There's a beat.]
Of course, I'm still hoping you have better taste than all of that, so only give it a portion of your all. For the sake of everyone, really.

[ so, maybe some things have been moved. maybe it's obvious that he'd been there. maybe he'd been looking for him and hung around for a while and decided to amuse himself. whatever it was, it's very obvious that he keeps doing it. he can't say that he isn't amused that he's been caught red handed.
over the note on the desk drawer, in much, much nicer script. ]
Oh, please. That isn't espionage. That's rifling. You can't write a law amounts to the equivalent of "no rifling." :'(
By the way you have absolutely nothing of interest. Very boring. My rifling spirit is greatly wounded.
XOXO -L
[ placed neatly over a document is another note. ]
Break this law tomorrow? Y/N (Circle one.)

[Joshua is absolutely tired of not having key pieces of information. He's suspected for a long time that something has been missing from this whole Drabwurld puzzle. The problem is that the Seelie are a more frustrating lot to talk to about this sort of thing. Either they're too far into this side's supposed "cause" or they have no idea, either.
Hence why he's now turning to the last place he can find this information without alerting his own Monarchs to what he's doing. And why not ask someone he met at the university, probably digging around for the truth?]
"The truth is rarely pure and never simple." Perhaps Oscar Wilde should've also mentioned that it can be the most difficult thing to find, too.
[There's a hint of dry amusement in Joshua's voice.]
Then again, it might not nearly be worth it if there isn't some struggle involved. [He sighs.] And I'd love to continue exchanging pleasantries like this, but I feel that we're running out of time for such things.

[ another Oscar Wilde fan? ] Unfortunately the truth is always is either fogged by the perception of the bearer, or something so damning that it threatens to break everything apart. Curious, that. You heard it straight from the god of lies.
[ there's only brief glance up at him, but there's some amusement in his tone. sometimes his dominions didn't correlate, both chaos and lies were different sides of the spectrum, and where the collided came the concept of story, some woven together myth, the prospects of reality. possibly expressed potential, perhaps. ]
We're running out of time for everything, not just pleasantries. And I was finding it interesting to watch my bread rise, regardless ... to what do I owe the honor?
[ it wasn't every day that he got a message from a Seelie, he thought there was some business involved, but it meant he needed to be a bit careful. it's too bad that with the coming apocalypse he felt all the looser of the tongue. ]
