[He's mostly just trying to avoid Sif's wrath (she wouldn't hit a kid, would she?) for teaching her the phrase 'no-homo' after she nearly married Korra. Just a joke, really, a jest, nothing more. Some people were so very touchy when it came to things like their dignity and not sounding like an Aśś.

Serrure looks up when he sees the girl by the fountain and blinks. There's something- his vision goes slightly skewed and he stumbles forward as his vision goes in and out of focus. Blood rushes in his ears. There's something that he's...

..and then he's losing his rather colorful lunch in the fountain, falling to his knees beside her. When the stirred water stills his reflection is different for a long moment before he blinks.]

Uh. Hey.

1/2

[helsmaiden]

[Well. That was certainly one way for him to show up. At first Leah's concerned...]

[helsmaiden]

[…But then rational thought kicks in.]

You're vomiting on my dress.

[doeswhathewants]

Only a little, it'll wash out. Maybe. Here - [Then he's splashing her with fountain water and-] Oh, I suppose that doesn't fix anything. [Given that most of the puke is in the fountain.]

Do I - [he hesitates] -know you?

[helsmaiden]

[She rolls her eyes and magics the vomit away.]

Your sickness has gone to your head. Of course you know me.

[doeswhathewants]

Who are you? [His head is pounding, there's something just at the edges that he has to remember.]

...who am I? [He's afraid of the answer, of the nightmares. Saying it aloud will make it real.]

[helsmaiden]

[Okay, at first she thought he was joking, but now she's legitimately concerned.]

I am Leah. [She takes his chin and guides him to look her in the eyes.] And you are Loki.

[doeswhathewants]

[And then there is dramatic flailing and swooning (that he will deny later, he crumpled to the ground in a manly heap, okay?)

He's still for a long moment save for some random twitching.

And then.

And then...] ... Leah?

[helsmaiden]

[The manliest of heaps, to be sure.

She's at his side in an instant, worried.]

Loki? What is wrong?

[doeswhathewants]

[Entirely manly, Leah. Tell no one otherwise! You are the keeper of his honor.]

I do not know. Last I remember, I was running from Sif's wrath- oh, that was terribly funny, actually.

Say, I learned some new Midgardian rules of grammar, perhaps you should know them to blend better, hm?

[helsmaiden]

[Do not think you're getting out of this so easily, son of Laufey Odin Laufey.]

Do not change the subject. What just happened?

[doeswhathewants]

[He will accept Laufeyson with nary a tantrum.]

Concussion, obviously. [And has the grace to look sheepish.] Sif has done terrible things to me, mayhap you ought turn her hair green in vengeance on my behalf?

[helsmaiden]

Do concussions make one forget one's own name?

[Sigh.]

What terrible things? [Vengeance needs to be earned.]

[doeswhathewants]

Yes.

[He might be lying.]

I forget. Obviously a testament to how horrible the things were! [Entirely a lie.]

[helsmaiden]

[An obvious one, at that.]

No vengeance shall be wrought without knowing what that vengeance is for.

[doeswhathewants]

Then the subject well ought be dropped entirely and henceforth never mentioned again.

[Eyes narrow slightly. He needs a distraction.]

They have shaken milk here, Leah, shall we have one in celebration of your joining me in this prison?

[helsmaiden]

Of course they do. [She says no more, merely getting up and walking towards the diner, knowing the way well enough.]

[doeswhathewants]

[He watches for a minute, then scrambles to catch up, slowing at her side.] I was only reiterating it in case you had forgotten.

[helsmaiden]

[She sideeyes him.]

Why would I have forgotten. We went there several times.
