"All right, all right. The princess commands..."
He put his hands behind his head and rather affectedly looked away.

Teja ignored this and touched the face-framing parts of the helmet.
"This is really nice, was it all their idea?"

"The horns were mine," he said. "You wouldn't believe how damnably hot it gets in the other one. The rest were his... people."

"It's a really good look," she said, glancing downward again, and biting her lip unconsciously.

"Oh, Loki, stop being negative about everything," she snapped just as suddenly, as if it were she he was being dismissive of.

Loki frowned.
"Pardon me if I'm overreaching here, but..."

She arched an eyebrow testily.

"...is it just me," he said slowly, "or does it seem as though Adrian Veidt is attempting to turn this marriage into a three-way transaction, whether it achieves full reciprocation or not?"

"It doesn't seem like that to me," she rejoined. "He and I are growing apart anyway."

He wanted to say 'well good', but the relief he thought he felt right away receded almost as quickly.
"I know, and yet... I don't know. It feels as though I'm being set up for something."
He stopped and forced himself to laugh it off.
"Probably nothing, of course. Possibly just impressions echoing across timeliness, something quantum like that, from that other myself-"

"It's not that," said Loki, "it's- I'm starting to have dreams about the scepter, the one from the museum, the one my other self had. I- I think I'm starting to see some of his memories, as though they're crossing into my unconscious mind- I'm standing on a rock somewhere, the sky is dark and someone is giving me the scepter-"
He realized he was starting to sound a little hysterical, and took a moment to swallow and calm down.
"When I look at who it is giving it to me... it's Adrian. I know that can't be right, but that's what my head is trying to supply."

"...do you want to stop talking to him?" she asked softly. "You can work out something, you know - you're all-powerful. No one can tell you what to do. Not him, not me. Not anyone."
