A few weeks after his arrival--while at Clotilda's

Loki had been dealing with no end of distractions, including the upheaval Somnius was going through with Wonderland's invasion of sorts. But he hadn't forgotten a challenge he'd been given, and he was eager now to see if he'd met it. He was certain he had, but still--the only way to know for sure was to go to the source.

So it was during a slow shift at Clotilda's, although he wouldn't bother Gold too much if the man were busy. "You'll have to forgive me delay in coming to you with an answer to your challenge. There has been much going on, and I'm not exactly familiar with the children's stories of Midgard, Mr. Stiltzkin." Loki said in soft conversation.

"I mean, I was attempting to be polite and not use the full one. I also can't exactly describe you as having a rumpled style. You're very well dressed and that's something I do appreciate." Loki replied with a grin. He did appreciate the challenge still. "Knowing this about you, I suspect if you don't have to make a deal to do so, you'll make Clotilda very happy with an exclusive product."

He did appreciate his conversations with the man though, and when their shifts crossed in the shop as well. Both were professional, and Gold had likely caught Loki at work. Either as model helping hawk some products for their proprietess, or more often as sales person. With that silver tongue and charm on full display, but using it to help people find clothing that suit them and made them happy.

"Perhaps that's what I'll trade with then, if I need to. My charm at your service." Loki said with a chuckle. "I'm glad you've been settling in well though, at least hear. How is the rest of it going?" He was honestly curious too, as Mister Gold was an interesting being. They spoke a similar language and could find common ground.

"Right now you have nothing I want, so it certainly isn't and hasn't been used that way." Loki said quietly, but knowing the other would hear. Even his one time joking about how Gold could owe him a favor for the help with Clotilda was just that. A joke. "You seemed well set up when you hosted me, so I hope things are continuing to go well for you at your home."

"Ah. Sometimes some people have had others be charitable and help out that way. Mostly I believe because few of us know how to live without. Or if we do, we don't want to go without." There is an implied offer there, if Gold wishes to take it. If not, Loki can and will pretend it was never brought up.

"I was lucky in my arrival. I was invited to live in a cottage where the utilities had already been bought. Since winter was soon coming, I did my part though by renovating so we had a proper fireplace and hearth."

"See, I've had my time in the dregs, as it were. I won't say I've been to Hel per se, as I've not been to that part of Niflheim. But I've been close enough to and it isn't a pleasant memory." Loki said, although the smile never left his face. "I miss Valaskjalf, and like my luxuries. So I sympathize with those who have to do without." Then much more quietly, leaning down as if he was studying how Gold was doing the spinning--which really was quite fascinating in its own right. "Consider it a gift, if charity is not to your taste as well. Goodwill rarely goes amiss, and I've been shown much while here." Whisper quiet, and only for his...colleague at least.

"I can't say when it'll appear, but it will be done." Keeping his voice low, and now Loki crouched. Still watching the spinning. "I'm sure it's more impressive when you're making gold, but this on it's own is a form of magic to my thinking." An easy smile, and blue-green eyes shifted to meet Gold's gaze for a moment. "You're taking fluff. Bits of fluff and threads and strands, and somehow making it into usable cord and thread. It's transfiguration at its most basic and simple, and so very common and yet..."

A small wave of his hand, and Loki chuckled. "It's magic."

Getting back to his feet, Loki let the man work. "Well, when you're able to, if you wouldn't mind my studying a bit, I'd love to do so." Loki found all kinds of magic fascinating really. "And if you would mind, I'll understand. And just have to be sneaky about observing." With a playful grin and mischief in blue-green eyes.

That brought full laughter, amused and playful too. "I, of all people, know and understand how we can be about secrets. That's part of why it's so much fun looking for them." But he nodded, and would take advantage of being able to watch, when he could.

"How did your exploring of the town go?" More common chatter, but Loki also was curious. He wondered what the other had noticed or not noticed, or decided to look into given their circumstances.

"Have you met any of our non-human dreamers yet? I'm amazed you managed the library. I can only be in there so much before I start to..well, feel a supreme need to organize." Ducking his head with a soft chuckle. "Which might seem odd, considering I usually favor chaos. But I do like some things orderly and organized, and a library is one of those."

"That last statement is why we get along so well, I think." Loki said with approval. "And I see you've met Webby. The llama I met did not speak, and was quite rude. I've seen the little yellow creature around, but haven't met it yet." Loki looked up as they heard a door open. "If you'll pardon me. Assuming it's possible, I'd like to continue this conversation, but work first."

Loki could only get away with so much socializing really, but while Clotilda did not ask her salespeople to hover, she did expect them to be welcoming.

It wouldn't take long, but Loki also took some time to do some tidying up and re-arranging of garments. To give the other more time, as Loki could tell the other wasn't usually the most social sort. When he does come back, he's bearing two small cups of tea and offers one to Gold.

"I figured this would not go amiss, and already have given one to Clotilda too." Said with a half-smirk. "Easy enough to use my break for that."

It was not a very fancy cup, meant to be purchased and fairly 'disposable' if needed by patrons and the stall owner. But that didn't mean it hadn't been made with care. There's also the fact that Loki had brought tea for everyone in the shop working right then; that in itself also had meaning.

"Not hard for me to do, and I thought we all could use one." Before taking a sip of his own cup of tea. "How much did Webby startle you?" With a hint of amusement and smile.
