Time: September 13, 2000
Place: The Bar
Status: Public (Loki, Shadow) (Complete)
Summary: Okay, the first meeting didn't go too well, but Loki has a question for Shadow.



Shadow was working, Loki noticed as he walked past the bar. He looked to be in a good mood, there were a few customers around and Uriel was within shouting distance. There probably wouldn't be a better chance to talk to the blockhead.

Loki took a deep breath, squared his shoulders and strolled casually into the bar.

"Hi," he greeted Shadow testing the water and slid onto a barstool.

Shadow had had over a month to come to terms with the fact that Loki was alive again, and to put both his own loss of temper and the gods harsh words into perspective. He had reminded himself, nights when he couldn't sleep or when brooding over too-polished tables during slow hours in the bar, that Loki was no more responsible for his nature than Hinzelmann had been for his.

Shadow's head could accept that, but it didn't stop his heart from hurting. Nor did it make him at all inclined to try to look pleasant when Loki came into the bar.

"What do you want?" he asked, meaning either a drink or something else. He'd serve Loki if that's what he wanted, but he rather wished the god would go sit at a table instead of the bar. Shadow didn't really want to talk to him.
