Loki looked a little dejected for a moment before sighing.

“If you think it best, detective.” He said, returning to looking out the window. He considered his options for a moment, noticing as they arrived in town that there were almost no street performers or poets on the corners. That was one occupation out for the moment. Terese had asked if he worked in the movies, perhaps this was where the performers were. He would have to find something to do in this place, lest he go mad with just sitting.

Magnus pulled up and he parked on the side of the street. The shops were lined up on either side and he went to take Terese out of the side of the car. “Be careful getting out Lo…”

He stopped.

Though it wasn’t highly unusual to have a name like Loki in a Scandinavian country, he was a bit unsure if Loki should keep his name. It hadn’t done him any favours before.

Loki noticed a hesitation on his name, and at first thought Mangus was just remembering his status beneath a god. When he met with the detectives gaze however, it bothered him and he began to look around.

“What is the matter? Is something wrong? Is it unsafe?” He asked, figuring he had already put himself in danger. There were many more of these inanimate beasts around them, like a large open aired den, and it obviously didn’t make him feel more comfortable. Perhaps he was supposed to be absolutely quiet here, so as not to rile them.
 He began to slide gently between their own beast and another on his right until he was out in the main pathway, then turned to Mangus for confirmation he was in the clear.

At first Loki didn’t pick up on Mangus’ hesitance, continuing to ask questions about the alchemy of driving, but when the detective went silent he realized something was wrong and quieted down as well. It stayed that way for a short while and then Loki could take no more of it, turning to face Magnus again.

“Has SHIELD selected some form of work for me, or must I search for it on my own? I fully intend to become competent and self-sufficient in this world if I am to live here indefinitely.” Loki obviously didn’t know anything about this world, and was still underestimating the severity of change that had occurred over the years he had been in Asguard, but then again when he put his mind to it…

Magnus sighed and he ran a hand through his hair.

“I don’t know.” he said. And already he could feel the frustration building. Terese was in the back seat pointing out the trees, and asking papa what they were going to buy that day.  He had some other work to do. He had to go to the bank. And Loki was asking him stupid questions.

But he took a few deep breaths.

“I think you’re on your own for the job front, but I think it’s best if you don’t work.”

Loki looked a little dejected for a moment before sighing.

“If you think it best, detective.” He said, returning to looking out the window.
