It wasn't like Loki ever particularly thought to ask about much; he and Orb, over the last year, had developed a relationship that shied away from really being employee-employer or tenant-landlord. It was much more like a confused blend between best friends and siblings.
Perhaps they best emotionally suited the attitudes of many fraternal twins.
In this case, though, Orb was never surprised when Loki (and often subsequently Jotnar) just showed up in her apartment at random. When he actually spoke, though, that was when she rushed the song to completion and then looked up at him and smiled.
"Thanks. I've only just finished it a couple days ago. You look like shit," all came out in one breath and uniform tone.
