throneenvy: (neg] sad] facepalm)

Loki arched an eyebrow at the bumptious human who dared to address him so. Perhaps he too had been too long from Midgard if things had changed so much, once his blue skin had been trembled at and his status as a Jotnar revered as something godlike. Now this mortal addressed him as if they were equals. It was interesting and irritating in equal amounts.

"I am not in the habit of introducing myself to mortals, to do so would be as pointless as to introduce myself to the ants crawling in the dirt. And even if I were, your opinions as to Thor's luck are odd and wrong. If his only achievement were to have found a mate of passing physical attraction, he would have poor luck indeed, such things are easily found and a poor reward for courtship."

That wasn't to say that he didn't find Thor attractive in return, or that he didn't want to be desired, but it was a thoroughly alien concept that such a thing could have any bearing on what would be desirable in a long-term mate. A night of bedsport, naturally, but in a spouse one looked for different things.

"Tell me, Tony Stark, what do you hope to gain by calling me attractive? Do you think to take me to your furs?"

He snorted in amusement. Not because the idea of sleeping with someone else, or even discussing it in front of Thor, was absurd, but for the idea that he would sleep with a mortal. Both he and Thor would likely have hundreds of partners in their years, before and after marriage, and likely children with others, that was just healthy. But with a human?

Surely that was only one step above sleeping with a corpse, they were so near death already.

In berating Tony Stark (such an odd name), Loki neglected to notice that he had all but confirmed that he intended to accept Thor's courtship at some point.
