Buffy straightened. And -- awkwardly -- took the box back. Although she ought to be giving it to him in the first place.

A gravelled clearing of the throat, then: "Times that surreality by about fifty and that's where I'm sitting. I'd kinda like to be me again."

[vor]

"Well, it's good to see you, at least. I'm sorry about your inconvenience. Why don't you come in?"

[complicatedliar]

I find it a funny thing, for the most part. All language sound alike to me, with few exceptions.

[vor]

Outside of this world, you mean?

[deadhero]

"...You have no idea how relieved I am to hear you say that. Th-though, in the interest of full disclosure? I should tell you what you just did."

She snuck a foot tentatively over the threshhold and -- yes! No barrier.

[complicatedliar]

Precisely. Nearly all sound the same to me, particularly human languages.

[vor]

"Very well. What did I do?"

[vor]

Do they all just sound like gibberish, then?

[complicatedliar]

Oh no, that isn't what I mean at all. They all sound the same because I understand them.

[vor]

Like having a permanent earbug?

[complicatedliar]

I have no idea what that is, but it sounds terribly unpleasant.

[vor]

Well, I understand three languages and some of a fourth and none of them sound alike to me.

[complicatedliar]

[Loki smiles.]

And had to learn them separately too, no doubt.

[vor]

Of course.

[complicatedliar]

It's a function of the language I speak. All a bit mysterious and complicated. But were we on Midgard, you'd think I was speaking Russian to you.

[vor]

Or English. I speak that one a lot.

[He doesn't dispute what Loki's saying, just files it away for later and nods toward the next stall.]

Shall we continue?

[deadhero]

"Invited a vampire into your home."

She passed inside with no problems. Wonderful. "Normally? They can't even step inside without your say-so. It's the same for all private dwellings."

[vor]

"Good to know." For all Gregor knows, a vampire has to be invited each individual time they show up. He shuts the door behind her. "I guess I know what not to do next time if you turn out to be your..." he makes a motion at his side "...other friend after all."

[complicatedliar]

Or that.

[Loki nods.]

Please.

[vor]

[In the next stall is another gelding, this one black. It is grazing idly on some hay that was left there at the last feeding.]

This one also needs a name, and I've had no takers so far.

[complicatedliar]

[Loki grins, inspecting this horse as he did with the last, letting the beast catch a good scent of him first.]

He reminds me a bit of my horse. Distant cousins, perhaps.

[Not literally, of course.]

[vor]

[Really? Because Gregor is convinced Alys is a proper Vor horse, no matter where she came from.]

I like him a lot. The Malnosso have given good horses so far.

[complicatedliar]

[Well, you know. What kind of horses would gods ride?]

I'm a bit surprised at that, but I'd agree. He's a lovely beast.

[deadhero]

"Not a problem."

She bee-lined for a position deeper into the apartment's front room and gently left the presents on the nearest table. They could come later; for now, she wanted to get all this weirdness out of the way. "I can have my people do an uninvitation spell. Uhm, person. There's just the one of her. But it'll be no trouble."

[vor]

Any name ideas?
