[Sam's just gonna wander over here to keep gossiping about the Avengers, because it's probably rude to keep doing it in T'Challa's post.]

As in dating, yeah. It's...[He gestures vaguely.] A thing. I really haven't talked too much to our Loki, but he's...all right, I guess.

[Look, he's pretty dubious about the whole thing himself, but whatever, they seem happy enough together. Sam's not gonna judge.]

[neversurrender]

[It's very unexpected. Or maybe would be if he'd had the time to set up any expectations for his alternate self. Somehow he doesn't think dating Loki would have ever crossed his mind as something he'd have to give consideration.]

We spoke briefly. And then we were mostly fighting the wild life. But he seemed less...villainous?

[He'll withhold any judgement until he's seen more of Loki and the other him. If Loki has given up on gaining ultimate power and trying to take over a planet, maybe they can see eye-to-eye.

[wingedman]

I mean, he hasn't tried to take over yet.

[Apart from that one post with Taako, but that doesn't count.]

And from what I know, he's been getting along with Thor, so-

[Sam just shrugs. Strangely enough, he knows a lot more about the other Loki than he does about the one from their own world.]

Maybe the other you has been a good influence on him. Or maybe he's been a good influence on the other Steve.

[neversurrender]

That's good to hear. For all of Loki's mistakes I know that Thor wanted things to be better between him and his brother.

[A particularly long pause.]

Is the other Steve the type of guy who seems like he'd be benefited by Loki's...influence?

[He's not going to say the words evil twin but the thought is there. Not that Loki's influence would necessarily be a bad thing but...trickster.]

[wingedman]

[dryly:] I don't think he's gonna turn him into evil Captain America, Steve. The most I've gotten from Loki is that he doesn't have a whole lot of patience for idiots, which I can't really blame him for. Not that I've gotten up close and personal with him, but he seems...all right. [Not the kind of guy who would suddenly decide to take over Earth with an alien army, and it's a little unsettling.]

Thor wants to find somewhere where all their people can live on Earth.

[neversurrender]

I'll take your word for it. [He hasn't seen nearly enough of Loki or the other Steve to really make his own judgement call, but he trusts Sam and his instincts.]

Live on Earth? Why would they abandon Asgard?

[worldsaway]

Have you ever watched a documentary about giant lizards before? I hadn't. Until now.

[neversurrender]

Can't say that I have. How giant are we talking?

[worldsaway]

Big enough to be ridden. Not that anyone has.


Yet.

[neversurrender]

Is this where you tell me your new goal in life is to ride a giant lizard? Because Thor, I think you can aim higher.

[worldsaway]

There's no shame in setting achievable goals.

Regardless, this was all a segue into an invitation to drink and watch reptilian mating rituals.

[wingedman]

Hey, come over tonight, we're having pizza and watching movies for Tony's birthday.


[why didn't he mention this until now? who knows.]

a million years late sorry!

[neversurrender]

It's Tony's...

Damn. I completely forgot.

I don't suppose you have any gift ideas you'd be willing to throw my way? Or have we decided against gift exchanges?

[wingedman]

No gift exchange. If you want, you can help chip in for the food, though.

[neversurrender]

Count me in.

What time should I come by?

[livingsymbol]

Hey. Apparently you and I should talk.

[neversurrender]

[He doesn't bother veiling his surprise at the message.]

...Okay. What is it we need to talk about?

[livingsymbol]

Your friend said it would be a good idea.

[There can be only one friend he's referring to really.]

Something about us needing to learn from each other. I promised him I'd look you up.

[neversurrender]

My friend...

[Nope. You're going to have to be more specific because this is something he'd think Sam is far more likely to push then Bucky.]

What exactly are we supposed to be learning? How similar we are? How different?

[livingsymbol]

Apparently.

[Steve might have all his friends pushing him to talk, really. But his counterpart only has the one in mind and to him it just seems like the simple choice. He doesn't consider how reserved either of them may really be.]

I guess I said something weird and he thought it was something I should share. Learning experience?

action, backdated like woah to the 4th

[seeingscarlet]

[hey steve guess what's on your doorstep

it's a box of treats and a card

someone took that saying about America and apple pie pretty literally, but then again, who doesn't like pies?]

[neversurrender]

[After receiving the treat and reading the card he sends his gift giver a text in thanks.]

You're my favorite. Thank you Wanda

P.S. I'm willing to share. It's a one time offer though so decide fast.

[seeingscarlet]

I'm glad you like them.

Are you bribing me to make more?

[neversurrender]

I'm offering to share what you've given me.

But I won't say no to you making more. They smell great.

[seeingscarlet]

I think maybe cinnamon roll dough next time? I read about that at home, but someone will have to help me taste them.
