Nightshift 60: West Wing, South Hall 1-B
[from here]
Taura pondered the announcement she'd just heard as she jogged down another empty hallway. Who was she? Jill? Who he'd tortured himself, though that could have been an act on her part as well? Whose side had she been on? And what could have happened to her that would be permanent?
Death was usually pretty permanent, but even that had its exceptions around here. Taura didn't have to like it to know it was true; what had General Aguilar done that could change that? And why was Doctor Landel so angry?
It was an uneasy thought to stomach; revenge drove people like nothing else did, and being one of the people in between was a hell of a way to go.

He was still deciding how he felt about the mortal, really. He enjoyed a good banter as much as the next man, but there was something in this one's manner that grated slightly, and Loki was still trying to decide what it was. Though it could just as easily be a symptom of the character that Loki had chosen to build himself in to. Verdicts didn't have to be reached immediately, and anyone it was in his best interest to remain on everyone's good side for the time being, since that made other goals easier to construct.
And there had been the feeling, for just a moment, that he might have hit a nerve. Only for a mortal of his age, Riku was surprisingly good at that part of the game, which Loki also found very curious. But there was time to prod subtly if he wished.
