10th Card Dealt [Action]

[Gambit is back from his mission... finally. And he's definitely looking worse for the wear. With one Severely Black Eye, it's probably at least fairly clear that he did something to irritate the Malnosso while he was gone, although the rest of the effects aren't immediately obvious. Until he opens his mouth, of course. And then he's painfully, stereotypically British.

Which is precisely why he's trying not to run his mouth like he usually does.

There are, however, a few points of importance. He may have slipped off with fairly little notice to the mission, but he does mean to let the people who really matter know that he's back. Which is all of four people, but he's still making the effort.

First it's a trip to the Item Shop. He's outside of his usual Not Until After 3 policy, but he's finding it hard to care. After that, it's off to the Battle Dome clinic... which is oddly bereft of Adele, so he decides he'll track down Obi-Wan (wherever he might be) instead, since that should be just as efficient. He does leave a Joker card on Adele's desk, though, before slipping back out. It's just as good a signal that he's alive and well as seeing her, he's sure. And last but not least, Lupin.

And then it's back home to collapse in bed and sleep. Or at least that was the plan until the fierce craving for tea finally overwhelms him and he ends up at Seventh Heaven instead.

Thanks, Malnosso.]

[Loki follows Gambit's gaze and then deliberately covers his tea cup with a protective hand.]

Yes, but what is "Cheerio" even supposed to mean?

[It's got to be another weird mortal thing. Ugh. It's like they make up unnecessary new words every few centuries just to annoy immortals.]
complicatedliar: (so very unimpressed)

[Oh yes. That hand is not moving. He is keeping his tea very safe from this somewhat creepy new guy.

...stupid mortal things.]



...you aren't even certain what it means in truth?

Bizarre.

[Mutter.] Mortals and their meaningless words.

[He shakes his head, turning his attention back to his book.]

[Loki doesn't look up.]

With the sure knowledge that those meaningless words will soon be dust.

[Loki flips the page.]

I think you missed the point. There is nothing I have to do, other than wait.

[He glances up and smiles pleasantly.]

I'm very good at waiting.
complicatedliar: (i smile cause you're gonna die)

[Loki shrugs.]

You all die eventually. That's the mortality bit of being mortal, I hear.

Your concern is appreciated, but I've my own hobbies.

[Loki smiles.] Eating kittens, actually. I do love how the squeak going down.

It's more amusing against something that thinks it can win.

[Loki waves him off regally.]

Evil will insist on not producing itself.
