[ His lips twitch. ]

I do not mind it that much.

[thestoriesarereal]

[She looks up a little.]

...You sure?

[dothelokimotion]

I cannot lie right now, can I?

[thestoriesarereal]

No...you can't.

[Still not convinced.]

[dothelokimotion]

Then I believe my answers speaks for itself. If it bothered me, you would know.

[thestoriesarereal]

[Tiny child is still suspicious...]

....You technically didn't answer my question, you tip toed around it.

But...okay.

[dothelokimotion]

[ He chuckles. ]

Giving a straight answer is not something I do regularly.

[ Or at all. ]

[thestoriesarereal]

You are the God of Mischief for a reason.

[She thinks for a moment.]

Do you want to ask me anything?

[dothelokimotion]

I do not think there are any secrets I wish to pry from you.

[ He has standards. . . . Mostly. ]

[thestoriesarereal]

It's not a secret if I'm giving up information freely.

Besides, friends should get to know each other.

...assuming you want to be friends.

[dothelokimotion]

[ His brow furrows at that request. ]

Is that what you want?

[thestoriesarereal]

[She nods her head.]

I didn't have too many friends back home so...

...Yes? But I get it. You're a god and I'm a kid--a mortal kid, so...if you say no, I understand.

[dothelokimotion]

[ A beat. Loki isn't sure this is a good idea. He worries when it comes to children. There's too much at stake, too much damage he could do that he does not want to be responsible for.

But he knows better than to simply strike it down out of fear. ]

It is your decision.

[thestoriesarereal]

It's a decision that you would have to agree to, too.

[dothelokimotion]

Of course.

Is this really what you want?

[thestoriesarereal]

[There's a pause, but she slowly nods her head.]

[dothelokimotion]

Then I agree.

[thestoriesarereal]

[ Biggest grin. ]

Thank you!!

[dothelokimotion]

[ He smiles faintly. ]

You're welcome.

[thestoriesarereal]

So...can I hug you?

{Because friends do that. They hug each other.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ He gapes, at a loss. ]

If . . . you want?

[thestoriesarereal]

[Okay, he's feeling awkward, she'll be kinder.]

Is a handshake better?

[dothelokimotion]

I — It might be?

[thestoriesarereal]

[It doesn't dawn on Lucy that Loki might be used to having a friend, one that didn't have an ulterior motive. She thinks, maybe because he is a god, that he's not used to mortals touching him, so she doesn't think much of it. She only holds her hand out, offering to shake his.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ He bends down politely and shakes it gently. His hands are smooth to the touch. ]
