Thor - helpfully - frowned in confusion and asked loudly, "Since when?"

“It’s sort of a timeshare situation. I’m sorting out how to link this place with the house. I could probably ask you the same question.”

"Megan wanted to see Asgard," he said, pointing to her in a friendly way.

"Thanks," she said flatly.

Loki looked between them again, eyebrows steadily rising, before he settled on Thor again.
“I see. This is news.”

"We're not together," Megan said irritably, closing her eyes as she did so. "He's just being friendly, not getting married without telling anybody-"

“Sorry,” Loki said, “was I supposed to tell you? How gauche of me, I’ll be sure to send an invite to everyone else who hates me to the birth of my first child to make up for it. Here- Thor, speaking of the marriage-“
He unrolled the sketch to display it to his brother. It depicted Loki, unglamored, holding Gungnir in his right hand, standing opposite Teja, who cupped what appeared to be a model of the Earth in her left. Their heads were slightly bowed, and their free hands were clasped together and wrapped with a golden ribbon, Loki dressed in a long enveloping robe with his hair loose and Teja in a short dress, her hair partially up.
“They’re putting this up in the throne room. Of course, I decided against going au naturale- let’s not get ahead of ourselves here-“

Megan tilted her head.
"Is that what you actually look like?"

“Are we having a conversation?” Loki asked, sounding faintly baffled.

"Maybe? Now that I'm pretty sure you're not planning on using my friend as a stepping stool to conquest-"

Thor made some hasty axing gestures with his hands between them. "Can you two perhaps do anything other than this? Asgard has been a gloomy enough place without your ruining the first good cheer it has had in some thirty years with childish bickering-"

"Look, okay. I started this," Megan began, "so it's my fault."

(Loki pointed at her sidelong while giving Thor a "you see?" sort of look.)

"-so..."
She sighed, closing her eyes again.
"All right. Loki, I'm sorry I imposed every negative feeling I've had since this time last year on you. I guess you really are everything Teja believed you could be, and I should not have let my..."
She took a deep breath and opened her eyes again.
"...deeply damaged sense of trust turn me against someone who literally began their acquaintance with me by showing me kindness and understanding."

Loki stared at her for a moment.
"Well," he said, with a laugh starting to edge into his voice as he spread his hands into a 'well-what-can-you-do!' shrug, "I did plan on befriending you and subsequently weaponizing all your resentment, anger and pain by making you a key figure in my new world order, so I guess there's plenty of blame to go around, eh?"
He looked between them, waiting for laughter that didn't arrive.
"...anyway," he said, glancing away as he started to roll up the sketch again.
