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.

"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..."

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."

*nods*

"All right. And the transformation itself?"

Liam considers.

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

[identity profile] asar-suti.livejournal.com 2005-03-17 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"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."

He smiles and nuzzles.

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

"Well, us and your family."
