Time: September 23, 2000
Place: The Library
Status: Private (Loki, Metatron) (Complete)
Summary: Loki is trying to avoid everybody, but with so many people in the manor it's not so easy.



He'd run out of reading material, card tricks were getting dead boring and there wasn't much going on outside his window either. The most entertaining thing that had happened today had been ordering food from room service.

Loki was beginning to regret that he'd left his oil paints in the attic, but he wasn't going up there to get them. John might be there.

The same applied to the restaurant and bar and just about everywhere in the manor. After upsetting people it was always best to disappear for a while, let grass grow over the affair.

Only this time he didn't really have anywhere to go and he couldn't change into any other shape either. It made life a lot more ... well, not really difficult, but boring.

He considered sneaking up into Uriel's room. It wasn't likely that he'd meet anybody other than his little sister there and she was safe. He'd just have to wait until it was late enough that most of the people on the third floor would have either gone out, or be asleep. Then again that meant that Uriel would most likely be asleep, because Bran needed it. Watching Uriel sleep didn't promise to be very entertaining either.

If only he had some more books to read. Those helped pass a lot more time than a quick visit, but Ezra would be in the library and he was dating Crowley so he was probably on John's side.

Ezra wouldn't be there in the night, though, would he?

He thought that over until he got too fidgety to sit around and wait and decided to check. His timing was bad, much too early to expect the inhabitants to be asleep and he promptly had to make a quick dive into the laundry cupboard when he heard voices on the stairs, but once those had passed by he managed to reach the thankfully unlocked and empty library safely.

"Indeed?" The Metatron shook his head, and picked the books up again. He didn't quite see the point, and surely there was enough variation in how the various denominations were to have some idea. Aside from how those outside the faith regarded it. Was that as imortant, though?

Well, to do good work, you hadn't to know them, didn't you?

He didn't think this was being particularly helpful, though. "Well. It's been... interesting," he said.

Loki shrugged. "It's useful information and not that hard to get, but you're free to do whatever you want, of course," Loki smirked. "That is you are as far as my religion is concerned. Almost forgot that your top god thinks differently about these things."

"Anyway, I've got my book, so I'll leave you to yours," he added walking to the door. It was better not to spend too much time around unfamiliar not-gods even if this one seemed to be a complete fool.

The Metatron frowned, but did his best not to overreact. There probably wasn't much he could do that would be acceptable, in any case, aside from the narrowing of eyes and glare.

"All right, then." He didn't move, though, not until he was certain Loki was a fair distance from the library.
