"I'm to meet one this afternoon," Loki agreed. "It's rather more exciting than it should be, but any difficulty is easier when you meet like minded people along the way, don't you think?" It was a matter for curiosity, who would count as a like-minded person for Tsubaki. He hadn't run across this sort of relentless good cheer since he'd first met Volstagg, and Tsubaki's good cheer didn't seem to hinge on food.

Probably for the best, considering lunch hadn't exactly been something to write home about.

"Though it really begs the question, what exactly we are getting tested about, if it's not fighting. And it's plainly not... more arcane abilities, since those seem to be largely unavailable from what I've observed thus far." It was possible that it was a matter of raw intelligence, strength, and creativity that was being investigated, but it seemed like an awful lot of trouble to go to for just that. Then again, it could all just be a thin veneer of respectability put over what was effectively a sadistic game for a bored demi-god.

Not that Loki would know anything about that sort of thing.

He chuckled. "I never understood people not wanting to avoid trouble." Well, not wanting to avoid the nastiness of a fight. Trouble in and of itself wasn't so much a means at times as an end. Because it was certainly better than being bored.
