[It was probably another mistake, bringing Clint into this. Because while Kate knows Loki won't hold it against her, she's trying to prove to him - and even herself - that he's not as bad as the world believes him to be.]
Well, jokes on you and Clint and my mom. Because I actually don't need anybody's influence to be a mess.
[Maybe in her mom's and Clint's eyes a little of a disappointment, even. How could they understand she- She enjoys hanging with Loki of all people?]
Well, maybe you just need to be a little more patient with Thor and his plans. Strategy sometimes takes time. You can't just come up with the perfect plan at the first go! And better keep your bag of nickels to yourself.
[See? This is it. The guy is openly saying he doesn't wanna do this, but he's making an effort. Just because she asked. Kate re-reads his last text a couple of times, the flutter in her chest something she is only starting to actually acknowledge.]
Good. Because I wanna hang out with your more and I'm not gonna hide it to keep my mom from texting me while she freaks out.
That attitude is precisely why I like you, do you know that?
Don't worry, no nickels for you. Dimes only; they're lighter and worth more.
[Possibly the other reason he likes her is he can say dumb things like that and she somehow still thinks he's funhy sometimes?? Positive affirmation is all he wants out of life anymore.]
All right. Should I change into a suit or some other type of Midgardian clothing? I'm assuming if I appear in full Asgardian armor, it won't go well.
Am I supposed to be represented by these nickles or just glad that I can take them as some sort of consolation prize after I hit you back with them?
[She's glad they've reached this point, being so comfortable around each other to come up with all these ridiculous things. To say he is imaginative when coming up with them would be a mmisunderstanding. Somehow, he has the power to always make her laugh.]
A suit will probably do. Leaving the daggers back at home would probably be smart too. Or close the pocket dimension where you keep them? I don't even know how that works. OH my mom's boyfriend is probably gonna be there. He's got a bit of an obsession with swords, so don't show off as tempting as it might be? I feel like that could backfire too.
[Even though Kate naturally takes pride about many of her qualities or is even eager to fish for compliments from time to time, she doesn't quite know how to feel when Loki describes her that way. She used to wonder if he meant his compliments, given his trickster reputation. But... Kate believes him.]
I guess I'll have to start encouraging Thor to come up with stupid plans. Because I want that sock to be real full.
For some, I guess? People are obsessed with all sorts of weird things and Jack, he is pretty unusual himself. A heir, so he doesn't do much other than spending money and his time on impressing my mom.

Thanks for setting this up! <3

You like that I talk shit about myself?

You get to keep every coin you hit me back with, no questions asked.
[Banter, and being amused by his jokes, are some of the keys to Loki's heart.]
So, don't carry visible weapons. Got it. Isn't it unusual for a human to be obsessed with swords these days? What does he do for a living?
