Adia thinks about the first time she talked to Loki, how anxious he made her with his sharp smile and prodding words. She looks at the space between them, the plate that once held a shared slice of cake. "You've done plenty to show me that you do more than lie and manipulate. And tricks can be a good thing. Like a ribbon that keeps people from wondering why a giant eagle is always hanging around me."

It's not like she doesn't already try to take the time to understand the motivations of others. Which is why it hurts so much with Reynard, because he has her flummoxed. Enough time has passed that she's able to push off those emotions, and she returns his words with a small smile. "No, not today. But thank you."

His offer to buy coffee next time is touching, although when he brings up her impeding marriage, she laughs a little. "Married or not, you can still buy me coffee. I mean, um, only if you want to. I can afford it." She pauses and adds, "You wouldn't believe what agate goes for around here."

Anyway, that's likely her cue to get going. She gathers up her empty crockery, glancing at Loki's cup to see if he's done and wants her to take it, too. "Thanks, Loki. I hope you'll be well, too."

Can one pray to a deity for another deity's sake? She doesn't know, but maybe in addition to lighting a candle for him later, she'll say a prayer to the Lords of Kobol, too. In case someone up there is listening.
