"...no," Loki said distractedly, forcing a smile. "Not at all."

"No, no," she said, though she glanced at Loki as though for confirmation.

She had felt for ages she had been pushing him away, unable to stop herself, but now she knew suddenly that somehow without trying she had already lost him, and it was she who was really clinging to nothing; he was absolutely gone. No wonder she had been so distressed at his letter from the other day. He could come and go as he chose because she was nothing to him, not really. He wanted what little time with her he could have, perhaps, but he had already resigned himself to his life without her. She dropped his arm, not realizing that directly in front of Krolock this was all a little too obvious. She wished she hadn't come tonight. But she didn't wish she was at home with Loki, either. She didn't know where she wanted to be. Anywhere else, she supposed.

Krolock looked between them with his brows raised.
"Ah, good. My son is somewhere in the vicinity, and I seem to have misplaced Sarah altogether. It is good that I have found friends, I think, though your costumes are rather better thought out than mine."
He gave a self-deprecating little laugh and waved the mask.
"Some sort of devil, I suppose?" he asked, glancing Loki over.

"We'll go with that, yes-"

"He's an Asgardian prince," said Teja a little stubbornly. "It's no costume."
This was a rather harsh dig at Loki, in its own way, but Johannes would not notice - probably.

"If we might have a moment, please-"

"You and I?"
She took her hand from Krolock Sr.'s and let Loki pull her away.

"Please don't do this," he said softly.

"What am I doing?" she asked defensively.

"...I don't want to go back," he said. "I'm serious- I- I've given it a lot of thought and my father can go- go fuck himself-"
He grit his teeth and inhaled sharply.
"Neither of us want to be here, yes? You said- something about salvaging-"

She released his hand and took a step back. "I just got here."

"I know, but- all right, you're right, we're here," he sighed. "I am just in no mood to deal with bloody vampires this evening, and I've already soured things-"

"Johannes was very kind to me when you walked out and left me with a vague note," she replied sharply. "If you so dislike his company you can go somewhere else."
