The Park, Wednesday

[funnyways.livejournal.com]

Mina strolled through the park, wondering what sort of response she'd receive from her reports of the weekend and the reaction to her nature from Daisy.

Indeed, she wasn't sure why she was operating undercover at all now. It seemed ridiculous. Even as a private woman, it would be easier on her to have far less secrets.

A lot was on her mind, really. She'd welcome any distraction from her thoughts.

With it being a nice night (good riddance, fucking snow!), Loki found himself in the area with no real destination in mind. It just felt nice to be outside.

Of course, he had to stop once he recognized a familiar face. Deciding just to go with the cheesy greeting, he said, "Out for an evening stroll?"

"Is it evening? I thought it was the morning," Mina said with a smirk on her face.

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"In this place, that could fucking happen," he pointed out with a laugh. "We'll go into a new Dark Ages if we're not careful. And we can just blame it on the weird fucking island."

[funnyways.livejournal.com]

"Indeed," Mina said. "I suppose many would cry out for their electricity and television if we reverted to the Dark Ages. So spoiled, don't you think?"

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"One of those things, you know," Loki answered with a shrug. "If you haven't lived without it before, there's no way you're going to know how to live with it now when you're used to it. But, this place, there are people who have lived without it and wouldn't bat an eye."

He'd complain. Just because he'd lived without it didn't mean he liked it.

"Indeed," Mina said. "Though I admit, they are quite luxurious things. I am quite grateful to have them."

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, you and me both," he said and shook his head. "Couldn't imagine passing a day here without the fucking television."

Daytime tv was sometimes addicting.

"How're you doing?"

[funnyways.livejournal.com]

"I'm quite well, actually. I'd say I feel rather... refreshed, of late," Mina said.

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"Refreshed?" he asked. "Good weekend?"

[funnyways.livejournal.com]

"Oh, the weekend was rather distressing," Mina said. "But I have had some wonderful meetings with friends these past two days."

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, the weekend was fucked," he said, putting it a little more bluntly. "If we can avoid that for awhile, I'll be happy. I kinda like who I am right now."

[funnyways.livejournal.com]

"And I prefer being able to see," Mina said. "Though I had... other interesting qualities."

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"...how did I fucking forget that I met you this weekend?" he asked, shaking his head. "I took you for a walk! What other qualities?"

Having spent a good portion of his time in the preserve, tracking teal deer with Boo at his side, Minsc was looking...well, an awful lot like a man in battered armour who'd spent a good portion of his time in the preserve today, tracking teal deer. That certainly wouldn't stop him from being gentlemanly as he walked through the park, tipping a hat that he wasn't wearing to the lady he passed by. "M'lady."

[funnyways.livejournal.com]

Mina was rather impressed with the man and his armor. Masculine, to say the least.

"Sir," she replied. "We have not had the honor of an introduction."

[berserkerminsc.livejournal.com]

"I believe you are right, my lady!" said Minsc nodding. "I am called Minsc! I would introduce you to my hamster, as well, but he is safely resting in one of my pouches after a long day of tracking."

[funnyways.livejournal.com]

"You have a habit of introducing your hamster?" Mina said, rather surprised. "I am Wilhelmina Harker, sir."

[berserkerminsc.livejournal.com]

"Well, Lady Wilhelmina," Minsc informed her with a little chuckle, "Boo is not ordinary hamster, and is quite worthy of the introduction."

[funnyways.livejournal.com]

"And what, may I ask, makes Boo so special?" Mina was smiling, though.

[berserkerminsc.livejournal.com]

"Well, you see, Lady Wilhelmina," Minsc said, giving the pouch hanging from his belt at his hip a very light pat, "Boo is a very rare kind of hamster. To be specific, a giant miniature space hamster. There are only a few of them left in all the realms! And he and I have been companions in buttkicking for goodness for quite some time now!"

[funnyways.livejournal.com]

Mina... found this all delightful, to be honest. "Of course," she said. "Very rare and how magnificent that you have such a creature. He must be a great asset to your efforts."

[berserkerminsc.livejournal.com]

"That he truly is!" Minsc said with a laugh. "Now you are tempting me to be a little pushy to the little guy and wake him up to meet you, my lady."

[funnyways.livejournal.com]

"Oh, let him get his rest," Mina said. "I would hardly like him to be put out on my account."

[berserkerminsc.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure he'll appreciate your kindness," Minsc said with a small smile. "I'll be sure to mention it to him."

[funnyways.livejournal.com]

Mina nodded. "Tell me," she said. "What sort of goodness do you do in this town?"
