Enter Loki.

Actually, please don't. Especially if it involves a chainsaw. Just...stare at him, since he's pretty. Or, you know, talk to him. That would work too. Because he just came into the bar and he's sitting just at the end of it nursing a cup of tea.

He shrugs.

"Family."

And Mayura. The girl could douse him in water and he'd still not retaliate. Some people...

"Besides, I'm really very difficult to anger. Not really the smiting type."

"Where're those?"

"Good, that's what I'd like."

Much softer now.

"Will it hurt?"

"Oh - good to know," Asar-Suti says with a grin. Yes, whatever misunderstanding and chaos there might have been with Loki at times, he didn't do it out of anger.

"You know..."

He grins.

"So, Mr. Pace...what are you going to do with your shrubbery?"

A twitched eyebrow.

"What do I know, Suti?"

Gil frowns and decides for once, to be honest. Get it over an done with!

"I am glad to accept your thanks on Yamino's account. I need to speak to him at sometime about the possibility of him taking a sous-chef position, if he would like to do so, as the pay is rather better and I understand he is contemplating matrimony. He is as far from useless as it's possible to get - although sadly our shifts don't coincide so we won't be able to cook together."

He looked at his hands then took a deep breath. "As far as your apology goes - I see no neded for it. Asar-Suti has explained that when a trick comes upon you it is in your nature to go through with it just as a fire burns or a shark bites. If you do not you are hurt." He shrugs. "I wouldn't have you hurt on my account but nor do I wish to suddenly find myself some in some humiliating and uncomfortable position for the amusement of your followers. I also do not wish to see the people I love hurt and humiliated. That is the true reason for my nervousness around you - not for any residual guilt over either having done you minor violence, or for loving David, which you'll agree is something easy to start doing and virtually impossible to stop."

He nods.

"It's still a bloody large needle going into you. But...I'll ease things as I can. Pain management...not my forte."

*nods*

"All right. And the transformation itself?"

Liam considers.

"Take it home, I s'pose. When I go."

He nods.

"Reasonable indeed. I merely wished to clear the air. I have enough enemies; I don't need anyone upset with me in this place if I can help it."

He shrugs.

"Such things are really Odin's line of work...beserkers and all...but I'll do what I can. I'm sorry, Richard, it's a little...out of my jurisdiction."

"Other cities. Tokyo is in Japan, the other side of the world. New Orleans is in the Americas."

He smiles.

"Not bound then. Always good. I always feel somewhat bad for those unable to leave. Then again, I spend much time here...so there you go."

*nods*rests his head on Loki's shoulder*

"Thank you for being there for us."

"I was bound for about a month. Not now, though."

"What are they like?"

"That it's good to have peace with you, and not to get hit by things I don't understan any more," Asar-Suti quietly says.

"I don't like being at war with people. I have no peace with Lochiel and Eris, but at least they avoid me as I avoid them, so I can live with it."

A soft hand run down his hair and neck and back, soft and warm.

"Always, my Richard, always."

He smiles a soft little smile.

"I don't have many...but those I have are those to treasure and I surely do."

He smirks.

"Eris is...difficult in her own way, as I am. She is, however, my best friend and has been for ages. Lochiel, I've met once. We...share an interest in Eris' well being."

He smiles and nuzzles.

"I think you're the best God I've ever had. Certainly the most attentive."

"What can I say? What else've I got to do but look out for the three of you?"

He nods.

"I've been Bound before...but not in a place. It was...unpleasant, to say the least."

He smiles.

"Well, Tokyo is home. It's where my house is. It's got some of the best food ever and not just because Yamino cooks. Then there's New Orleans, which I haven't seen very much of. I was visiting a friend."

"Well, us and your family."
