Hm? [Mobius blinks, then slowly opens his eyes. He forces himself to sit up some, taking the glass from his partner and holding it with both hands as he obediently sips from it. Don’t have to tell him twice.] Thanks.
[There’s all the nodding in agreement. Heading back would be a good idea. Bed would be an amazing idea. He’s glad to get all the party out of his system.
Mobius hunches forward where he sits, resting his elbows on his knees. Idly sipping away at his water while attempting to take in the conversation.]
She’s real cute, Thor. [A fond smile playing on his lips.] I know she’ll do great things.
Good, just contact me when it is ready. [ He assumes Sif and the warriors three will help out. He didn't watch all of his reels, he didn't know they were all dead. At least the Warriors Three.
Loki listens intently as he takes a drink from his glass. That smile of Thor's? That tells Loki everything he needs to know. He's certain he smiles the same when he speaks of his children, but Hel more. ] Sounds like quite the adventure, and it is very noble of you to take in the child as your own.
[ Leaning forward to look at the picture, he smiles and nods. ] She is lovely, brother. I look forward to meeting her and seeing if she gets her Pegasus. Though I must ask, what is that she is wielding?
[ As he asks, he reaches over, into his partner's jacket to take out the tempad. Keeping it in his empty hand for now. He knows they need to go before Mobius falls asleep on them but he is curious about Thor and his new ward. ]
That is Stormbreaker. I helped forge it after Hel broke Mjolnir. It is a long story. [ He holds up a hand because he knows this Loki will not have the same history with Hel that he does. ] When you visit New Asgard we will share a drink and I will tell you all that you've missed.
[ He can see that Loki and his partner are ready to leave. Thor feels a deep regret that he must let this version of his brother go. ]
She is a great child. I could not leave her without any family to care for her. I know what it is to be alone.
[ Thor rises to his feet and offers Mobius a hand. ] It was good to meet you. I am glad to see my brother has found such a suitable partner.
[Mobius is only acutely aware of Loki fishing in his jacket pocket. There's a delayed response from him, some soft laughter as he swats away his partner's hand. But yes, he can have the TemPad. The analyst is in no state to figure out which coordinates lead home, despite doing it countless times before.
He does catch onto what Thor is (and isn't) sharing though. Leaning in to whisper in Loki's ear:] I can fill you in if you want. Or we can wait. Your call. [And he gives his partner the slightest nuzzle of affection. Nothing too lewd or embarrassing, just a little something to show he cares. Timeline events can be heavy subjects. They've been here before.
He occupies himself with finishing up his glass of water, but Thor is already getting up from his seat. Which prompts him to do the same.]
Real great meeting you, Thor. [He takes that hand for a polite shake.] Honestly never thought I'd get the chance to. I'm glad I don't disappoint.
[He laughs a bit, making a joke at his own expense as usual. But on the inside? Yeah. He's real happy he's got Thor's approval, even if it's a different Thor altogether. It means a lot. It also means a lot that he was the catalyst to get them be more honest with each other about their feelings. Definitely worked out in a weird sort of way, didn't it?]
[ Loki looked confused, half tempted to make Mobius sit down and nap there to hear the story. But he had the tempad in his hand. ] Yes, brother. I need this whole tale. [ Loki waved off his partner's offer, but tipped his head towards him to not reject that soft affection. His eyes stayed on Thor though. ] While I appreciate it dear, I would rather hear it from my brother than what the archives say.
[ If that lasted, well, who knows. Loki's curiosity could always get the best of him. Standing as Thor did. A soft look as Mobius shakes Thors hand. Loki opens the time door as they shake. The TVA just on the other side of that orange door. The tempad slipped into his jacket as he stepped up to his brother, but didn't offer his hand. ] Let me know as soon as you know a date, we can make a weekend of it. I look forward to meeting your child and seeing everyone. You take care of yourself, you big lug.
[ Only once he finished talking did he hug Thor, not offering it, just hugging him himself. ] I expect to hear about those eyes too, don't think I didn't notice.
[ There is so much to tell and so little of it will be pleasant. Thor is not exactly looking forward to that conversation though he knows it is needed. He does not want to relive all that but for his brother he will.
The hug perhaps last a few seconds longer than Loki might like but Thor needs the embrace. He does not like saying goodbye but he cannot keep Loki when he has a purpose and happiness to his life. ]
It is part of the story yet to tell. [ He steps away from Loki and Mobius lest he do something stupid like follow them through the portal they've opened. ] Perhaps I will tell it last so you keep wondering. Until next time. May the sun shine on you both.
[Mobius is glad he isn't the one being hugged this time. He needs to bulk up if he's going to handle another Thor Hug. Handshakes are fine by him, maybe a gentle pat on the shoulder or back.
It's heartwarming seeing the brothers connecting like this, makes him think he's done something good. It's a complicated situation - but everything seems to be turning out okay enough, and that makes him glad too. Relieved more than anything. Loki loves his brother, and even if they're mismatched timeline-wise - this still counts for something, right?
Mobius gives Thor a rather tired (read: drunk-and-ready-for-bed) smile and wave before seeking out Loki's hand. He'll just go ahead and hold it as they leave. Maybe stifling a yawn or two with his other hand on the way out. Water and aspirin and sleep are in order. The follow-up conversations regarding... their situation can wait until the hangover subsides.]
[ Mobius would be fine, Thor hugs were fantastic. He was just missing out. Not that Loki would admit that out loud.
When the time comes, Loki would be ready. The Trickster already knows how he was destined to die, and that was not pretty. The rest of the story certainly wouldn't be either, but, the sons of Odin needed one another, and he was willing to try to fix the rift he created.
When the hug ended, he offered a light smile, a nod, and a pat to one of those biceps. ] And I will listen to all you have to say, brother. Just let me know when. I will be there.
[ He knew the line and nodded. He had heard it said in the tape. ] May the sun shine on you as well, Brother.
[ He nodded, and let Mobius hold his hand, squeezing it once before he moved to lead his drunk and tired partner through the time door. One last look back at his brother before he vanished into the orange glowing door and it vanished. Probably leaving a few of the party goers staring. Still, time to get Mobius to bed. ]
