[ man, did Loki just appear in your quarters ]

Comments

[scienceping]

[wow yep he really did. Spock, for his part, is seated at his desk, making his first officer's report. the question is did Loki appear silently or would Spock have a reason to look up?]

[thatboyisamonster]

Boo.

[scienceping]

[definitely a reason. he looks up then goes still. his face remains mostly passive, but even Vulcan discipline can;t hide the shock he's feeling.]

... Loki?

[thatboyisamonster]

Unless someone else is allowed in here.

[scienceping]

[... raises one eyebrow a bit, recovering]

I would point out that I had set my quarters to "do not disturb" for the evening.

[thatboyisamonster]

Oh dear. I must have forgotten how to read.

[scienceping]

Had you entered by normal means, you simply would have ignored it.

[thatboyisamonster]

Obviously.

Did you miss me?

[scienceping]

[setting his PADD down to stand, stepping a few steps closer]

Affirmative.

[thatboyisamonster]

How impassioned. Truly moving.

[scienceping]

Had you expected otherwise?

[thatboyisamonster]

Oh, Spock.

[ he trails a quiet finger down his face ] Expectations are beyond me.

[scienceping]

[he turns his face slightly into that, catching Loki's hand with his own before he can drop it]

[thatboyisamonster]

I've given them up.

[scienceping]

... What has transpired?

[thatboyisamonster]

. . .

[scienceping]

[reaches up slowly with his other hand, sliding his fingers against Loki's neck until they curl at the back]

Loki.

[thatboyisamonster]

Asgard was attacked by the Dark Elves. They destroyed . . . most of the palace and Thor's mother.

[scienceping]

[goes still again]

... She was also your mother, was she not? By nurturing if not by birth.

[thatboyisamonster]

I have no mother or father.

[scienceping]

[tilts his head a bit, turning it into a shallow nod]

... As you say.

[thatboyisamonster]

I believe I did.

[scienceping]

[... gently, slowly caresses his fingers on Loki's neck then. almost hesitant but attempting to be soothing.]

Were you injured in the attack?

[thatboyisamonster]

A flesh wound, nothing more.

[scienceping]

And the purpose of the attack?
