[The door opens, with magic! Loki is lying down on his bed, playing games. He doesn't look up.]

What?

[rehandle]

[ That's a sign of a marginally better reception than the one he left... Stephen steps into the doorway, but no farther past the threshold for now. ]

Feeling calmer?

[ If his light tone is any indication, he apparently is. ]

[thecoolerloki]

That depends. Are you?

[Obviously his approach this time is calmer, but still. From his perspective, Stephen started everything!]

[rehandle]

For the time being.

[ No point in pretending that couldn't change under the right circumstances. He fishes the phone out of his pocket, holding it up. ]

If I give this back am I going to have to make a public broadcast in thirty minutes denouncing the benefits of pacts with unknown entities?

[thecoolerloki]

I mean, I've already made my point. There's little else for me to do now, otherwise I wouldn't have given it to you.

[Anything further is between the demon and everyone else, which he doesn't care about.]

I'm surprised you haven't made one already, TBH. You do love highlighting the magical things people shouldn't engage in.

[rehandle]

[ A breath that's mild with humour. ]

I do. Fortunately the debate in response to your announcement seems to have provided its own explanation of the pitfalls, so I'm spared the need.

[ Though he's curious - ]

Did it ask you to advertise, or did you do that on your initiative?

[thecoolerloki]

It's mischief, Stephen. If he had asked me to advertise, proselytize, whatever, I would've taken a far different approach.

[After all, he knowingly lied about what the demon was doing, etc.]

I don't particularly care if anyone else takes him up on his offer. The debate's enough to entertain me.

[rehandle]

[ Entertain. His mouth draws down at the corner, and he tosses the phone onto Loki's bed before he can say any more to make him think better of it. ]

Let's hope your sport doesn't put anyone else's life at risk. Any more mischief of the same variety and I'm limiting your screentime for at least a week.

[ A joke? An earnest threat? Who knows, he's not sticking around to see how it lands, and will close the door behind him the same way Loki opened it if there's not interference. ]

[thecoolerloki]

[The phone is caught by a little green orb of magic, Loki still refusing to give any of this his full attention. He'll check his messages in a second, see how the post's doing, etc.]

Bye.
