WHO: Sif & Loki
WHEN: Monday evening
WHERE: Some Brooklyn bar
WHAT: Meeting an old 'friend' in America
WARNINGS: Bitching?

New York was complicated to navigate for Sif, which meant that three weeks after moving to the city she was still constantly taking the wrong turns to go places. It was because she'd given up in car. In Los Angeles that car had felt essential even if she ended up spending hours in traffic, but New York with its famed subway system and pedestrian-friendly nature, had made her leave it behind.

Although at least getting lost on foot meant she couldn't go too far in the wrong direction. She might have ended up in Boston with a car.

Sif wasn't overly fond of the other people who crowded her on the street. She wanted to be calm and unflappable but over the last few years... well, it had become a lot easier for things to flap her. She didn't like the change in herself, but there it was. In Asgard she'd been considered to be so level-headed and difficult to anger; she was almost pleased she'd never run into any of her kin in the thirty or so years she'd been in America.

But maybe thinking about her fellow Aesir was what stirred them up, because as she sat down in a bar near to her work with a glass of white wine, she felt the unmistakable feeling of someone familiar, but that she couldn't yet place. With a frown she turned to scan the bar around her.

"Are you telling me you two still can't handle being the same room?" Sif asked, still trying to dig for information out of him. "I would have thought you'd be practically snuggling these days. I've seen the movies, brother-in-law." She'd discovered that googling Loki and Thor together had lead to rather a lot of art of the two of them engaged in filthy acts. One had to wonder if that had rubbed off, so to speak.

"Hmm," Sif said, lifting her wine glass to look at him. "I have a story about a woman who was trying to get a little drunk after work, but was interrupted by a troublesome old friend?"

He honestly couldn't stand those movies. He didn't like talking about them, or about Thor, or his own warped role in the tale. They were screwing with his perception of reality, and her barb didn't go unnoticed. "He'd rather jump from a cliff, I'm sure. He lets it affect him too much. I really couldn't care less."

Loki rolled his eyes. "There are too many stories involving me at this point. I'd rather hear one I'm not a part of." He grinned. "Or have you been getting into trouble while your husband's been away?"

"I'm glad to hear you're so happily carefree these days," was what Sif said to him, but the tone would have much better suited, shouldn't you be writhing under a poisonous snake somewhere?

"What I do while my husband is away always was one of your favourite jabs at him," Sif said with a roll of her eyes, tightening her hand around the glass a little. She wished she could be sure of the things that had passed between her and Loki, or her and other men, or her and... anything really. Her whole life was such a mess of misinformation. "I've got no stories for you."

	He raised his hand with a flourish, saying nothing for a moment. He could hear the venom behind her words - he could only assume what sort of horrible nightmare she was imagining for him. "Yes, you always were an unreasonably sensitive subject for him. Are you worried I'm going to run and tattle?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's okay! I'm taking forever on everything as well! thefairhaired 2013-10-18 09:25 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes," Sif said, taking a sip of her wine, "that's exactly what I think you're going to do." She looked at Loki seriously. "Nothing said between the two of us has ever remained in our confidence, so why would I give you that ammunition?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
