[also ducking away from the swing, taking a few steps back as he does so. he isn't really in any condition to tussle-- his formerly broken arm is very sore, and he can still barely speak-- but. here he is!!]

Sulking doesn't suit you.

If you need something to hit, then come at me.

[drops his fist]

Hitting you isn't going to satisfy me right now.

[. . . hey!1]

Would you prefer to talk about your feelings, then?

[said a bit wryly, because he knows the answer to that one]

You're right. I should hit you.

I'm waiting.

[makes a kind of "bring it on" gesture with one hand]

[yeah, ok. taking a swing]

[despite his lingering soreness, he takes the punch like a champ!! their punches heal, so certainly it's fine, right??]

[wiping at the corner of his mouth afterwards, though no blood was drawn]

That smarts. . .

. . . where did you learn to fight, anyway?

[in fact it does make him feel slightly better. when he drops his fist this time it actually unclenches]

In the Metaverse, naturally.

[just as keikaku. as he said before, sulking doesn't really suit Loki]

Mmm. I thought so, but it was worth asking.

[lowering his hands back to his sides]

If only because you throw a good punch.

[the compliment is also successful, like he just can't help himself but be a little pleased]

Unfortunately, there aren't many opportunities for punching in polite society.

[good!!]

Good thing I'm not "polite society."

[tilting his head towards Odin and Jove, if the latter is nearby]

And I'm pretty sure they aren't, either.

I suppose that's what makes us a "cohesive" team.

It's what we were going for, isn't it?

I'm genuinely proud of us.

I don't know that it's worth being proud of, considering the competition, but I'm glad we saw things through sensibly.

[raises a brow]

"Considering the competition?"

Surely you've noticed that we're surrounded by idiots.

[. . . I mean. . .]

I don't know if I'd put it quite that harshly, but. . .

[. . . he is maybe feeling it. . . a little bit, after that task]

That also doesn't mean they don't have their own form of "team cohesion."

Fair enough. We can't all be as cohesive as Bluebell.

[S. . . SNORTS]

Well, like I said, I'm pretty proud of our cohesion.

Especially since it means we'll get that bathhouse sooner rather than later.

[perking up a little]

Do you think it could be ready by the time we get back?

[looks at Loki's bloody clothes]

[looks down at his own]

God I hope so.

[deep sigh]

Perhaps our next request should be a laundromat.

[CONSIDERING LIKE. . . MOST OF HIS OUTFITS ARE NOW COVERED IN BLOOD. . .]

. . . yeah. I think that's even more important than a kitchen.

[since he's capable of cooking on a campfire]
