[Loki finds him in a... well, not compromising position, exactly, but an embarrassing one, for certain. After the latest shift had worn off, all of his old costume had vanished, but one thing had remained- the headband and wings that he'd worn to the school dance in Luceti, long ago. Being shifted back to his old self had gotten him thinking, so when Loki teleports to him, he's in front of the mirror, trying it on again.

The sudden appearance of his friend and mentor in the reflection beside his own makes him yelp in surprise and twist around, flinging the closest thing he can grab... which (thankfully) happens to be a loose roll of toilet paper.]

[Loki snatches the toilet roll out of the air, the motion almost lazy. He gives it an idle look.] Kind of you to offer, but no, that's not why I'm here. The one at my house works perfectly fine.

[Billy responds with two stunned and wordless seconds before he huffs and snatches the roll right back.]

Oh my god, don't they have doors in Asgard!? What if that was what I'd been in here for?

Doors, yes, but very little shame.

I'd have made myself a cup of coffee while I waited for you to finish.

Jeez. You're horrible.

[Billy sighs and tugs off his headwings, gingerly setting them down on the counter before heading out into the living room. If they're going to talk, it sure as hell isn't happening in the bathroom, good grief.]

Alright, you creepy home invader, what did you come over for?

[The look Loki gives Billy eloquently states, 'And...?']

I require your help with a matter of utmost importance.

[...Huh.]

Are you serious, or are you really here to borrow sugar?

Oh, I'm very serious. I require your help. It's important.

[HUH.]

Okay, I'm listening. What's up?

There is an owl. In the library. Who think it has some sort of authority to decide who will be reading books.

[That makes Billy scowl immediately. Right.]

Yeah, I saw that. I'm not surprised, but I'm not happy, either.

[He wonders how Wang Shi Tong would feel if he knew he's a TV show character, just ink and paper himself. That'd be a fun story to trade, heh.]

I will not stand for it.

If he wants to occupy the library, I care not. But he shall not have the books.

[That doesn't surprise Billy, either. This is Loki, after all.]

You're not going to... you know...

[He draws a finger across his neck, brow lifting. He doubts it - Loki knows better than to come to him for help with that - but, you know. Just in case.]

I am keeping to the bargain. If he is fool enough to attack me, then I shall defend myself. But that is something I would avoid now.

Okay. So what's the plan?

[And how can I help? he doesn't ask- in part because he figures Loki will tell him, but also because he's thinking he won't particularly like his role in it, even without killing involved.]

I can craft a spell that will allow me to fold all of the books into the other dimensional space where I tend to keep my things. And hold them there temporarily. But what I lack is enough sheer power.

[...Yep. Definitely not liking where this is going.]

Um. You do remember I'm not using magic right now, right...?

[He raises an eyebrow.]

I'll be the one using the magic, Billy. You'll be merely lending it to me.

...Yeah, but I'd still be... you know... involved. I'm six months out of practice here, and...

[The dangers of this is pretty damn obvious to him, why can't Loki see it? Why can't anyone see it?]

[Dryly:] I have confidence in your ability to play the part of battery, Billy. Even if you do not.

[He fidgets awkwardly. It's all well and good to have Loki believe in him, but...]

My magic is powered by how much I believe in it. No offense, but it's not your confidence that matters here.

Well, do you believe that something needs to be done about the owl in the library?

...Um. Sure, yeah, but...

[Is that really going to be enough?]

[He gives Billy an evil smile.] And do you believe that a prank would be better than me, say, baking the owl into a pie?

[WELL THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY]

O-of course I do! Geez!
