[ Away from others in a pleasant little aesthetically cultivated grove, Loki has draped his coat over a boulder and has his sleeves rolled up as he awaits those with appointments to undergo his new spell. He warned them of the unpleasant side-effects (re-living the best and worst moments of their life) and he has a little bag stuffed with pain-killers, bottles of water, tissues, chocolate biscuits for sugar crashers??? He doesn't know how some may react but assumes that anyone who knows what they might experience feels it is a price worth paying to learn their universal designation.

When you arrive, he hitches up a smile and beckons you over under the dappled sunlight. ]

There you are!

[ Something feels like it separates magically, but perhaps it's just the temperature returning to normal. He opens his eyes at Loki's beckoning, curious at the letters floating before him. ]

Are they usually a collection of letters? Also that was significantly less unpleasant than I feared. Were you being nice to me or am I just impervious to misery?

[ikols]

I was absolutely not trying to be nice, fear not. That's what the spell peeled out of your, ah, soul. Bit of a dramatic way to put it but, essentially.

[ He dusts off his hands, magic winking out of existence, and the numbers follow Balthier around for a few seconds before they too vanish. Loki records the designation on his phone. ]

You all good? Not going to hurl?

[portolan]

[ Interesting. Maybe having already relived the worst of these two days ago had taken some sting out of them. ]

Strange mentioned the magical training on my world seemed to make me less prone to ill effects of it here. Not complaining.

[ He feels tired -- and will continue to feel wrung out as the day goes on -- but otherwise fine. ]

A little hungry.

You are going to show me this map when you've got it compiled, yes? I am going to ask incessantly.

[ikols]

[ After rooting the packet of biscuits out of his bag, he tosses them over. ]

That's good to know, what Strange said. And of course, it's a map for everyone ... Stark stole it but he won't have my upgrades, so don't mention them to him.

[portolan]

[ He catches the biscuits, nodding his thanks. ]

I don't know Stark and I don't spill secrets for friends. I'll see you this weekend.

[ He pauses. They're not close, but-- ]

There's something different to you today. More...sparkle in your eyes.

[ikols]

I had a shower.

[ Don't be so nosy, wow!! ]

[portolan]

[ He laughs. Okay, sir. ]

Showers agree with you. You should have them more often.

[ Bye, Loki. ]
