No. Absolutely not. He thought he knew this man - person - god well enough by now to anticipate that Loki's aim was to leave him at a crucial moment with a mocking smirk just to humiliate him, and he didn't have the time or the inclination for that.
Or he thought not.
"- yes-"

“What was that?”
Loki tilted his head, birdlike, letting his hair drop in his face.

Adrian groaned on purpose this time. "For god's sake-"

“You really ought to do something about the draft in here, I cannot hear a word you’re saying-“

"Loki, this is puerile."

Loki shoved him to the ground.
“Don’t be so dramatic,” he scoffed. “You could have just said ‘no’.”
He put one foot on Adrian’s chest for good measure.

Adrian had to catch his breath, but it wasn't related to being kicked to the floor. Adrian could have flung Loki to the floor in response - in fact, normally he would have done so without thinking through it first. But for some reason or other, he was reluctant to that now.
He grit his teeth and didn't say anything, his flesh and bone hand moving to Loki's ankle to toss him off, but making no further movement.

“God, but you’re pathetic,” Loki scoffed. “Is that all it takes to unseat the great Ozymandias? You don’t even want to fight me, do you?”

"What would be the point? You're a god. You'd only too happily wipe the floor with me."

“Oh, please. You’d like that, wouldn’t you?”

Adrian set his jaw in a firm glare of disapproval, but didn't betray himself by trying to speak just yet.

Loki gracefully dropped himself on Adrian’s chest.
“Let’s test that theory. What do you say?”

"Unh- Loki, get off-"
Better yet, Adrian flipped him so that he was the one leaning over him, hair falling over his forehead.
"I don't know what you think you're doing, but -"

Loki laughed and bumped between Adrian’s legs with his thigh.
“Oh, that’s encouraging-“

Adrian's eyes fluttered closed and then snapped open again as he got quickly to his feet, leaning against his desk and brushing dust from his elbows. He suddenly felt the need for a cigarette. Or supervision.
