Status: Private (War, Loki, (Anathema?)) - Complete
Setting: Hospital wing
Summary: War visits Loki



War stood in the Lobby with her hands on her hips. She'd managed to walk around the Manor without seeing anybody at all, and apart from her chat with Pollution the day before, it seemed like an age since she had seen any of her friends. Trying to think back to when it had been, she suddenly remembered fragments of a conversation she'd overheard the day before when she'd been out practising in the grounds. Something about someone being in the hospital - someone who'd collapsed. She frowned, trying to remember what had been said, then remembered that they had said something about medication, and hair growing back. Surely not - Loki? She remembered that he had been looking ill, and his hair did seem to have grown back when she'd seen him at that lunch - and it would explain whyh she hadn't seen him around...

Whilst she had been thinking, her strides had carried her to the door of the hospital wing. Seeing it was shut, she knocked sharply.

Yup, thought if Alys is around (not sure) we could still get Doc suspicious....

"Ah, I'm sure I'll find him around somewhere. I generally manage to track people down when I'm trying to find them," she said, smiling at the god.

"But I think I might ask Uriel about this guest of Ligur's, see if she knows anything about it. I'll do my best, anyway - and I promise I'll keep you updated." She grinned. "Schemes are much more fun when you've got someone to share them with."

Yep, I think Alys is around sometimes. No Ligur, though.

Loki grinned. "Like say, the first time they get into a fight?" Though he had to admit that he hadn't seen the Doctor fight much so far.

"oh yes, they definitely are." Schemes were best when hatched and executed with Odin, actually, but it was also fun to try out different partners and he hadn't plotted with War in a long time. Too bad he couldn't be part of the execution of this one.

Hm. Guess this is winding the thread up?

War grinned back. "Something like that."

She knew Loki must be missing Odin, and if she could help a bit then that could only be a good thing. It wsan't as if it wouldn't be something she wouldn't enjoy herself.

"I'll do my best," she promised. "Ond if it doesn't work - well, we'll just have to come up with something else."

Yep, but without Uriel loki will need War's friendship a lot.

"Just remember to come back from time to time to report on your progress." This was as close to begging as Loki was willing to get. Maybe War causing chaos in the manor would give him the strength to leave the hospital wing for a bit and actually watch some of it himself, but he doubted it. Most likely it'd only relieve the headache and nausea a bit.

Well, she's not going anywhere - 'cause I'm not :)

"Don't worry," War said, trying to make her voice as reassuring as she could. "I'm not planning to go off anywhere, and as long as I'm here I'll keep popping in to keep you amused." She looked around the room. "I can't imagine "hospital" is your favourite style of decor, so I'll do what I can to keep it firmly in the background, ok?"

*hugs* I really really hope so.

"Yeah," Loki said trying to sound brave. "It's rather boring. Even the literature leaves something to be desired. Seems like all they have around here's Judeo-Christian."

*hugs back* short of a bus running me over, I'm here :)

War thought for a moment. "Is there anything else you'd prefer? I mean - I've got my bike here, I could always get out down to libraries in London or somewhere too find other stuff if you'd rather?"

Apart from anything, it would give her a chance to get out on her bike again - it had been a while, after all.

[leucemic-god.livejournal.com]

"Something not Judeo-Christian would be a great start. If you could find some rather newer books that I'm not likely to have read, yet." He grinned at her. "Bonus points, if they've got historical facts wrong."

He could use something that'd distract him and make him laugh.

War grinned back.

"In that case, I think it's time I got my bike out the garage and headed over to London to persue the bookshops. Alright if I head off now? If I check the bike over today, I can head off tomorrow and get them back to you."

"Sure, just remember not to pay for anything, you hear!" Loki threatened playfully. Why was War being so good to him? Did she miss Odin and the old days as well?

The visit had exhausted him more than he thought it should have, though and once War was safely out the door he let himself sink back into his pillow to sleep.
