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.

"Feel free to spread word. Apparently, I'm not that...approachable. Or something. Bad press."

He grins.

"I'll do that. And I've never found you unapproachable. Especially in your child form."

He smiles.

"Ah, yes, but the second they hear the name, it's all 'Ragnarok' and 'snake babies' and 'wasn't that you with the horse?', as if they don't realize how DRUNK I had to be at the time...and then there's all the 'evil' I supposedly am. Yes, well, it's difficult."

He laughs loudly at all of this.

"Well, I've never heard about the horse, and Yamino is brilliant, and I've never seen you do true evil, just mischief."

"Yes, well...most people don't take mischief well at all."

And there's a little kid staring at him.

And Richard grins and lifts him high in the air before carrying him over to one of the big chairs in front of the fire.

"Most people have no sense of humor."

He snuggles into Richard.

"People don't get it, is all. I mean, I know that sometimes the Trick is nasty, but it's for a reason. They always end up better than they started. That's how it works. It's to teach or to change or to tilt things so people figure out how to tilt them back. I don't do it to be mean. I'm not mean."

He curls resolutely into Richard.

"I'm not mean...I'm just not always nice."

Richard cuddles him and drops a kiss into his hair.

"You're never mean you're just.....paternal. You do what needs to be done."

He glowers at no one at all.

"Glad somebody sees that. The worst part when Bernard yelled at me was when he thought I would do anything to harm a child or upset a family. Never. I'm a father. And he has no idea what my family's been through. And anyone else who talks about me."

Then he's curling into Richard.

"I just feel bad for Yamino. I'm sure he gets a lot of flak."

His brow creases in concern.

"I think that most people here like Yamino. He's a very sweet boy. I'll try to make sure that no-one bothers him though."

He snuggles Loki closer, protectively.

"Thank you."

Richard holds and pets him quietly for a few moments.

And he stays in Richard's arms for a while, being comfortable and loved.

And Richard loves him very much for many reasons.

"How are Yamino and Echo? Haven't seen them since the wedding."

"Engaged. Very. Occasionally loudly. Cuddling good."

He chuckles.

"Our cuddling or theirs?"

He snuggles him closer.

"Ours. I keep out of theirs. Yamino's head might explode."

He laughs.

"I suppose that would be a bit disturbing to have your father join in on cuddles with your fiance."

He pets the baby-soft blond hair.

"Exactly. I know where I'm needed."

He snuggles into Richard.

"These cuddles? Just fine."

"Indeed."

He goes back to cuddling and petting.
