[ Billy's place in Graymalkin is starting to look a little more settled. It's still pretty basic, but there's some (cheap) furniture and a few decorations. A suspicious amount of metal, too. ]
Hey. This is the part where I offer you something to eat or drink.
A bloody mary and a t-bone might be too much to ask. I'll stick with a long island.
[ he says, amused at Billy's offer. he can be amused at his own jokes, thanks.
he takes a look around, inconspicuously as possible, where most of his focus remains on Billy. he catches the suspicious metals and makes note of it. ]
I did come to talk to you for a reason, I don't mean to keep you in the dark.
[ come now, think better of him. or don't, because you shouldn't. he rolls the glass of water between his fingers. ]
It was as if I knew all of the gods of this world—not just the ones native to it, but the ones brought here as well. And then, suddenly, we were all afraid. For one terrifying moment, deep in my chest, not unlike any fear that I've felt ... [ his eyes fall half-lidded, like he might be somewhere else. ] But not one that I'd like to remember.
No, it seems to be resonating through those that call themselves divine. And they don't get any nicer, in fact, they seem to all end on the side of terrifying and bloody.
We need information, and you need to bump up your training. Have you been learning any Drabwurld tricks?
No, it's mostly been stuff from other worlds. [ There haven't actually been that many people on the unseelie side who were open about their "Drabwurld tricks". ]
You don't know? [ He's going to watch Loki's response carefully. Billy finds it a little hard to believe that Loki hasn't already investigated something that he's warning Billy about. ]
I do know, but the process takes time. Unfortunately that's time that I don't exactly have at the moment. It would be a very good distraction for him, don't you agree?
[ there's a lift of his brows in Billy's direction.

Come on, chop chop.
no subject
One glass of h2O, just like you asked for.
[ Don't even, Loki. ]
no subject
I mean to ask something of you. Tell me, have you, perhaps ... had an odd dream? Something more akin to a vision?
no subject
[ That gets a sigh, as he starts pacing again. ] Just what we need, weird dreams too.
no subject
More than that. Weird dreams involving a war on a divine scale.
no subject
[ He'll finally stop pacing, turning to face Loki. ] Do I get more details or are you going to tease me with that?
no subject

[ Because that seems like the key question here. ]
no subject
[ he says, even though it grates on something inside of him to admit it. ]
no subject
[ god dreams sound like things that more than one person would have. ]
So, what do we do with this?

We need information, and you need to bump up your training. Have you been learning any Drabwurld tricks?

[ Loki taps on Billy's sternum. ]
ASAP, Mister Kaplan.
no subject
This isn't objecting, but I don't know where to start with that.
no subject
[ he says, lifting a finger. ]
I'm sure he'll have some idea, if he can't teach you, himself.
Is that a start?
no subject

[ there's a lift of his brows in Billy's direction.
hint hint hint. ]
no subject
Thanks for the...whatever this was. Don't you have other things you need to take care of?
no subject
It's best if we find out. Ask him what he knows of shards and shard activation. If possible, get yours activated.
[ he's poking his sternum again. ]
There's something special about this that the monarchs want, and I want to know why.
no subject
I'll let you know what Erik says. Even if he doesn't know how, he's been here long enough to have picked up something.
[ Plus, even if Erik doesn't know, Morgana might. ]
no subject
[ Loki turns, waving out his wrist like he's shaking out that finger. ]
Best to do it with some urgency.
no subject
[ Well, metaphorically down the street. Loki gets the idea. ]
All right, get out of here. It sounds like you have stuff to do.
no subject
[ he takes a few step back and then turns on his toes, waving a hand. ]
Toodles!
