Griffin jumped around his little Egyptian cave wildly with no specific purpose. He would jump from taking a drink to sketching wildly with a crazed look in his eyes. He had gotten used to spending his evenings like this, keeping himself busy the best he could. He was working on a particularly angry sketch when a clap of thunder violently stuck near his little cave. He yelped and jumped to a higher landing looking out towards the desert, some sand was disturbed but other than that everything seemed regular.
“Boo!”
The silky smooth voice sounded directly behind his ear, he yelled and teleported to a spot just behind where he was before. His eyes widened and he looked up in awe at the man standing in front of him, green robes, horned helmet, and what looked like a scepter. The entire look was completed by the sly and amused smile on his thin face. However, Griffin’s surprise left quickly and was replaced with anger.
“Oy! The fuck are you doing here?”
Loki smirked and shook his head lightly
“Didn’t even ask for my name, typical Midgardian.”
Griffin jumped directly in front of the God.
“Oh, I know who you are, everyone knows who you are, alien!”
Loki raised an eyebrow
“Please do enlighten me.”
Griffin cocked his head like a curious cat.
“You’re Thor’s brother, the one who got his arse kicked by the Avengers.”
Loki rolled his eyes, obviously sick of the phrase ‘Thor’s brother’ but continued anyway, looking amusedly at the twitching jumper.
“Very well, I admire that you do not actively participate in pleasantries and I won’t lead you on.”
He turned around, his robed swirling in the hot Egyptian wind, he started taking long strides towards the hidden cave in the dune. Griffin looked around angrily as the God left him behind, he jumped in front of Loki, stopping him in his tracks.
“Hey, hey! What is it yah think you’re doing?!”
Loki chuckled, smiling down at the jumper
“I’m inviting myself into your little dwelling and saving you the trouble of asking me yourself, obviously.”
Griffin seemed to be getting flustered, the God continued walking with Griffin backing up precariously.
“Well, I don’t want you in my hideout!”
Loki ignored him and when Griffin attempted to physically pull him away he simple sent the Midgardian flying through the air onto a soft dune of sand and walked effortlessly into the dark underground area. He looked around distastefully as the jumper got to his feet and jumped into the cave as well, crossing his arms and glaring at the God angrily. Loki walked around, taking in every detail occasionally picking up a sketch or moving a piece of trash. Griffin ran towards him and ripped the pages out of his hands, holding them defensively.
“Stop touching my thing! Jesus! What are you, the fucking inspector!?”
Loki, who didn’t seem to be bothered by Griffin’s little outburst smiled and continued to wonder around, continuing to pick things up and examine them slyly. He moved a piece of paper, reading the sloppy print on the corner and smiled, looking back at the jumper who had been following him around grabbing his stuff and holding it, glaring at the intruder.
“So, Griffin, is it?”
Griffin ripped it from his hands and tore it up, throwing it on the ground.
“I’ll take that as a yes”
Loki took one last look around at the chaos surrounding him before smiling at the confused jumper behind him.
“So Griffin, you live alone, Orphan I’m guessing?”
He took the scowl from the jumper as confirmation.
“You have a purpose and yet you don’t, you’re unstable? Bordering on psychotic? Prone to outbursts?”
Loki laughed and nodded his head
“Oh yes, you’re just my type.”
Griffin continued to glare, looking like a cornered cat.
“What the fuck do you want?”
Loki strode around the cave, hands behind his back.
“Put quite simply, I need a place to stay.”
“And why would I let you stay here?”
“Because why not!”
Loki raised his arms wildly, looking less and less composed and more excited.
“You have nothing, you pale Midgardian!”
He took a breathe and continued with a much lighter and sweeter voice.
“You don’t need anything of monetary value but consider the fact that I will take this hidden place with your blessings or not. However, seeing that we are both in need of companionship at the moment and are the scourge civility, perhaps an agreement could be taken. I can give you companionship and purpose, what do you say? Take a chance, something needs to change in your life soon before you crumble under the weight of your own lonely and chaotic lifestyle. Am I wrong?”
Griffin’s face had not lightened but he was listening to the God’s proposal closely, considering his logic. He nodded reluctantly.
“Yeah, fine but I’m not pale, I live in the fucking desert!”
