“you do like me that much. I let you put your cold feet on my ass in the middle of syberia.” Bucky informed her. “so even if you don’t like me tat much you totally owe me.” Tony made a strangled sound that said he was trying very hard not to laugh. “a beam of fire?” Tony asked, looking impressed. “absolutely I do.” Tony admitted as he handed over his hot dogs to Johnny, Bucky looked very amused as he chowed into his cold hot dogs. He wasn’t picky. “you doesn't have to worry about spontaneous combustion then?” Tony asked, looking very curious. “wanna help me forge Steph’s next shield?” he offered, grinning.<br/><br/>“oh the dodgers are gonna win. They’re absolute traitors but they’re still the best.” Bucky admitted and Toy squalled a protest that of course the yannkies where gonna win! Bucky and Tony then argued about it for fifteen minutes because they just liked to argue.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>“he is a genius.” Loki mused. “his mind is like a terrier, it needs constant stimulation. Running from one project to another helps his brain stay focused on a project. Doing paperwork isn’t something he can focus on because it doesn’t engage the parts of his brain that need engaging. Plus I refuse to believe that he can write legibly.” Loki admitted with a grin. “it depends on the magic.” Loki admitted. “some magic doesn’t need lettering, not like that. You can use glowing, magically created…. I think you call them Glyphs? These are tiny rune like letters that help focus the spell or effect but they are not long term. Long term takes ritual magics and in ritual magic, every movement means something. We’ve just taken the movements and put them into letters instead.” he admitted before chuckling.<br/><br/>“warm mud baths are good for all kinds of things. Skin care, easing aching joints, taking care of stress.” he sighed as he sank into the mud to his chin and closed his eyes. The warm mud did wonders on his aching, everything. “I needed this.” he sighed. “I'm tired of everything hurting.” he didn’t seam to be aware he’d just confessed to being in pain, but word had probably already spread of Loki being poorly so maybe they wouldn’t notice. They could luxuriate in the bath as long as they wanted but they did have a scheduled massage, facial and mani-pedi to get to. And then a nice hot steamy sauna and a beautiful cool pool and a nice gym if they wanted to get their blood pumping. There was Yoga and Tai-chi, both of which Loki loved so he’d probably be doing those after the sauna and a dip in the pool. Until then, he was going to luxuriate inn the trapped heat of the mud bath.
