MHA Lobby, Tuesday

Twas two days before Christmas and all through the lobby, the decorations were twinkling and Loki was reading like it was a hobby.

Or like he was utterly fucking bored. One or the other.

There was a stack of gifts on the desk, messily wrapped and slapped with bows to cover places where the paper ripped or ran out. There were actual gifts in the boxes but Loki had gotten bored halfway through and forgot what was in which box. That'd make for some interesting reveals whenever he started randomly giving them out to people he tolerated.

...people he liked. Shut up.

For now, the lobby lights were off and he was reading by Christmas lights.

[MHA is oooooooooooopen! ETA: If you come in after Biff, Loki's wearing this hat! Feel free to notice!]

Simon figured he should have done this a long time ago, and Loki had probably figured out for himself that Simon didn't want the apartment, but perhaps the holiday made him in a better mood.

He entered the lobby. "Good morning. I just wanted to let you know that I'll be staying at the hotel, so I won't be needing an apartment."

"I doubt that," Simon said, although he smiled back, looking amused at the idea. "But I wanted to let you know."

After a pause, Simon decided to be truthful. "Your attitude left a lot to be desired."

"I have a comfortable room at the hotel, and Mary insists I can stay," Simon replied, making a little too much of an effort to keep his voice calm. Perhaps that was due to that 'cute' comment.

"Where I stayed before I occasionally got someone else's used unwashed towels. Now they're clean, and I don't have to wash them." He ran a hand through his hair. "Why am I having this discussion?" It wasn't a question.

Biff came into the room rocking a ridiculous (http://www.chachaboutique.com/grfx/sock_monkey_hat.jpg) awesome piece of headgear, a gift in his hands. "Peace on earth, give me presents!"

The sad thing was, he did need more friends around here, which was probably why he was bored enough to continue this conversation.

A little reluctantly, Simon accepted the present. It seemed sensible. "Well, I shouldn't keep you busy any longer," he said.

Simon's eyes widened. "Uh, I see." Then he turned and hurried out of the lobby, telling himself he wouldn't return again.

"I got it free with my purchase of other awesome hats," he said, tossing Loki his gift (http://www.foureyesjokeshop.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=884) before tearing into his. "Hot," he proclaimed, grinning.

"I think the cape might've clashed with my feather boa," Biff teased, pulling the chaps out and laying them up against his legs. "These'll get a lot of use," he said. "Thanks!"

"You're welcome," Biff replied, "even if your Santa impression needs work."
