Thor laughed.
"Megan, Megan. What did I say earlier? I said my best friend growing up was Loki."

"All the more reason to indicate that nobody's actually dying," she countered.

"No, I understand hyperbole. I know, it's something of a shock."

Megan looked down at her purse, suppressing a smile and trying to not turn too pink.
"Uh, I think I have a few kisses, if you want one-"
She looked up abruptly, a feeling like an electric shock building in her chest and then falling away again, leaving her feeling a little depleted.
"I mean Hershey's kisses. Little chocolates, you know-"

"Maybe later, when I'm not driving."

"I could put it in your mouth-"
Oh, smooth. Real smooth.

"Er, no thanks."

“Okay.”
She took a deep breath.
“Maybe under the mistletoe?” she suggested lightly. “They’re bound to have some there, and... it’s a pun, sorry.”

Thor lifted an eyebrow at her non-judgmentally. "Loki says in one of your stories here, he's supposed to trick one twin god named Hodr into killing his brother Baldr. Those are our infant brothers' names, by the way."

“You have baby brothers?”
She squeaked more than she intended to.
“Right- well, I guess you have a long time to make sure he doesn’t, then.”

"Loki? Oh, he's terrified out of his mind," said Thor, as though this was slightly funny.

“Well, that’s... encouraging,” she admitted, lifting her eyebrows. “I mean, one attempted fratricide is enough-“
She looked at the bridge ahead of them and cleared her throat.
“Um, okay, you’ll have to make a right here, then a left after the first high rise we pass. That’s the bridge on-ramp.”

Thor had to repeat everything she said and often get corrected three times, but he looked so damn smug every time he made the correct turn you'd think he'd done it on instinct.

“Um, we’re gonna have to work on this a little,” Megan said after her impending panic attack had subsided. “We can get you one of those new radar directional systems or something...”
She hated that she’d gotten so overwrought over nothing and folded her slightly too-warm and tremorous hands in fists in her lap while the radio began playing a swing song, with the singer bragging from the perspective of an avatar of winter about how cold he’d like to keep the world. Megan bit her lips together, grinning.
“Oh- oh, you’ll have to pester him with this one- it’s from this silly little TV special, there are a bunch of them, but-“
A little fragile from the panic attack she’d almost experienced, she started laughing.
“Oh no, though, I just remembered, it’s all about two brothers who are fighting. This is their song, that might be a little too rough. I’m sorry, I don’t really know what... terms... you’re on now.”

"Ah - neither do I, honestly. It seems to vary. Well, he hasn't tried to kill me or anyone, that I know of."
