“Veidt speaking. Loki, is this you-“

"The wife, sorry."

“Oh!”
He smiled, not that she could see it.
“Well, hello, dear, how are you holding up?”

"How are you? Sounds like you had a rough night-"

Adrian laughed.
“All right, so you’re in the loop.”
(Loki, inferring his likely mood already and just barely hearing him laugh, rolled her eyes and got up to leave.)
“I was hoping he wouldn’t sit on the matter for too long. He was in a pretty low mood when last I saw him.”

"Still is."

“Oh, that’s a shame,” said Adrian. There was a slight rustling as he pressed the phone between his shoulder and head. “And you? I hope you aren’t too upset.”

"....I've felt better," she admitted.

“Is there anything I can do?” he asked. “I know this is probably no consolation to you, but things didn’t go... well, according to plan, you could say. I think it was, above all, an exercise in sating curiosity.”

"Oh, just that, I'm sure."

“We would not have known without trying,” Adrian countered. “But I don’t think either of us quite got what we wanted, so it’s just as well. You certainly don’t have anything to worry about.”

"Well, you know me... I'm not reasonable. I want to be everyone's favorite."

Adrian laughed gently.
“Well, I don’t think much has changed. There was more than one moment last night during which I thought I would have rather had your company. I might even have a favor to ask you, if you’re so inclined.”

She pressed the phone to her shoulder and glanced behind herself. Loki was elsewhere, and she lifted the phone again to her ear. "You might have the favor and my company, depending."

“Loki was... one might say somewhat possessive last night,” Adrian said, with a bit of an awkward laugh. “He made off with a bit of my hair, which- well, it’s not the end of the world, but it’s made a bit of a mess of your handiwork. I’ve been thinking that I still enjoy seeing myself in the mirror and knowing some of that was on your account, so I wanted to know if you might help me again while I wait for your previous effort to grow back.”
