[Does Mobius jump? He jumps.]

You gotta quit doin' that or else they'll turn the dampers on again full throttle.

[He rolls his eyes, leaning back in his chair and scrubbing his hands over his face.]

Yeah yeah. Even that. Look - you should be glad I managed to convince them to turn 'em down in the first place. You know how chaotic this place would be if everyone just kept blippin' in and out all the godsdamn time?

Comfortably chaotic.

[He repeats this, thinking about it. And then he chuckles. Okay - you got him there.]

So don't abuse it alright? For me? [Mobius pouts, giving Loki the puppy eyes. He should be familiar with the look by now.]

Aw Lokes - c'mon.

[He reaches out, gently taking hold of Loki's hand and giving it a brief squeeze. He doesn't let go. Still pouting, there's a gentle brush of thumb across knuckles.]
