“Johnny.” Loki sounded very amused. “Your earth technology has been outdated on my planet for near centuries. If you think I can’t hack into your wifi your ridiculously wrong. Stark’s technology is about the only ‘new’ thing in the nine realms. Everything else has already been done.” he shook his head. “of course, we didn’t hit the ‘internet’ stage until our people where about three times your age, and you’re already close to figuring out the next stage in energy advancement.” he admitted. “well. I say you.” Loki said dryly. “but really it’s Stark, Banner and Wakanda.” he admitted and Tony smirked, puffing up with delight at being recognized for how smart he was. He couldn’t help it. “besides your assuming I don’t have internet where I live.” Loki pointed out, amused. So far, only Steph actually knew where Loki lived.<br/><br/>“I assumed the offer had been made and he’d decided not to come.” Loki lied. They all knew he was lying because his voice had gone clipped. When Thor mentioned Odin, Loki went stiff and rigid and his fingertips turned blue for just a moment before he forced himself to relax. He resisted speaking to Thor for a moment, hoping someone else took the invitation. Pleased to see that Natasha had taken it. “they told the story of Siegmund and Sieglinde.” Loki further explained, realizing that the mortals here really didn’t know much about Valkyrie. “the humans couldn’t resist putting incest into it of course. They’ve decided that the twins slept with one another. But they got the forced marriage right at least, though they neglected to point out how abusive Hunding was.”<br/><br/>“Thor let me know he might be late, if he could get here at all.” Tony admitted. “he didn’t explain why though…” he frowned, watching Loki and Thor. “I didn’t know about this thing with Odin either. I thought Loki was just… here, I didn’t know this was… what. House arrest? You think Steph is just his like, parole officer or something?” he hoped so. That would make much more sense than her actually liking the guy. Right?<br/><br/>“Stephanie?” Loki asked, peering over at her. “what is the difference between an opera, and a musical?” Loki wondered. They had plays in Asgard of course, boring ones that sometimes had songs but they where rare. Most of the entertainment was brutish fighting or tales of brutish fighting. Loki was very much enjoying himself, and had relaxed again when Thor didn’t immediately pester him. Perhaps the stupid idiot could be taught after all. He smirked to himself and reached into his pocket and pulled out a silver flask, offering it to his brother with a faint nudge. It had Asgardian mead. Loki preferred the finer tastes of wine, champagne and a good sipping whiskey, but he always kept some asgardian mead on him for his brother. He hated Thor with a burning passion but… well, he did still love the blond moron.
