[The man is making him tired. David's fingers come up to rub at the bridge of his nose.]

What it comes down to, Loki, is that you're an inept villain. You are always defeated and your plans always foiled. You make a better guide or hero than you do a villain. This is something you need to come to terms with. Hell, I would be a better villain than you. I'd actually do something with the world.

[thecoolerloki]

Because I'm not a villain! ... but I would be very good at it if I actually wanted to be one, for the record. I've dabbled. More than you have anyhow.

What would you even do?

[David offers him a smile. See, he knows the first rule of being a villain. So he smiles, charming and kind, and that's just who he is. Someone that can manage that genuine, kind, welcoming smile.]

Come now, one doesn't monologue about their plans.

[thecoolerloki]

It doesn't count as monologuing about your plans if it's not real. I'm the expert on that.

[And there's no way David's plans would be real. So!]

[helpdesk_hero]

[And he remains smiling. He's absolutely capable of doing it if he wants. Technopathy is a very, very useful skill.]

You presume a lot about me.

[thecoolerloki]

... Billy Kaplan probably won't murder me, will he?

[Gotta find a new hangout spot.]

[David wonders how much he cares if Loki gets hurt or not. For a moment he considers before speaking.]

I can see no cause for it. But if you want, I can reach out to him first.

[Not without a cost, though.]
