Then we'll try again. [He clasps Billy's shoulder again.] I trust you, little brother. Even when you don't trust yourself.

[Loki: King of Not Fighting Fair.]

[Goddammit, Loki.]

Mm... just... promise to like. Hit me if something starts going haywire. I don't want to screw up again.

Re: [April 23, action]

[complicatedliar]

You can trust in me, Billy. I've no desire for a repeat of any difficulties. Try not to work yourself into a...tizzy.

Re: [April 23, action]

[selfhelp]

...Tizzy? Is that the technical term for a magical freak-out?

[Whoever taught Loki that slang should be smacked.]

Re: [April 23, action]

[complicatedliar]

Yes, didn't you know? What do they teach you in schools these days?

[Heh heh heh.]

[April 23, action]

[selfhelp]

Not magic, that's for sure.

[He tries to imagine Raine using the word in a class and just... no. Really, no. It's weird.]

So when are you doing this?

Re: [April 23, action]

[complicatedliar]

Either tomorrow night or the next day. I have to prepare the distraction first.

Re: [April 23, action]

[selfhelp]

Please, please don't give me a reason to regret this.

[So very seriously. He's trusting you, Loki.]

Re: [April 23, action]

[complicatedliar]

If the distraction does their job, we shan't see the owl at all.

Really, Billy, if I wanted that desperately to stuff my pillows with owl down, do you think I'd be going to all this trouble?

Re: [April 23, action]

[selfhelp]

Knowing you? Yeah, actually.

[Seriously, you were putting on a big magic musical number not that long ago because you were bored. Pranking the village (and an obnoxious giant owl) by stealing all the books isn't a stretch.]

Re: [April 23, action]

[complicatedliar]

[Loki waves a hand.]

No, if I wanted fresh feathers, I'd kill the bloody owl and skin him.

But know he'll come back, I would much rather provide a lesson. And this is the most gentle sort I teach.

Re: [April 23, action]

[selfhelp]

Just... try not to get anyone killed. That would be nice.

Re: [April 23, action]

[complicatedliar]

[Dryly:] I'm trying very hard to not get anyone killed. To not get anyone so much as scratched as a matter of fact. Your faith is so appreciated.

[Even more dryly:] One might only hope that those so interested in talking sense to the owl will make good use of the superior bargaining position I intend to supply.

[Billy doesn't argue, though he could point out Loki's history of not getting people killed isn't stellar. But he is getting better, so.]

I think they'd be stupid not to. Though I don't know if it's even possible to strike up a deal with him.

[He watched the show. Stealing books was the resolution to this problem then, too.]

Re: [April 23, action]

[complicatedliar]

[His lips twist.]

From what I seem to recall, I doubt that will be the case either. But perhaps I shall be wrong.

He will have to deal in some form or another. I shan't be letting him have his way. One might hope he won't be fool enough to make it a fight.

[April 23, action]

[selfhelp]

Mm.

[Billy just hopes that Loki won't be relying on him if that happens. He knows he's going to be no use in a fight.]

I need to talk to Teddy about this.

Re: [April 23, action]

[complicatedliar]

Please do.
