[trickor]

Yes.

[keeps his eyes out on the horizon]

[captainkink]

The sun is setting.

[trickor]

Yes. It's lovely.

[the stars are getting steadily brighter]

[captainkink]

Want something to drink?

[trickor]

What did you bring?

[captainkink]

Coke. Not the drug, the drink.

[trickor]

I've seen cans of it... Bottles too, I believe?

[captainkink]

Yeah, long ago in Earth's past.

[trickor]

Which we are in.

[isn't it interesting how the sky seems to almost have gotten stuck somewhere between sunset and night?]

[captainkink]

I used to love that. All the things from the past. I wasn't necessarily looking back, I just liked their stuff.

[trickor]

Has Earth changed so much?

[and so many stars... and a half-visible nebula or two?]

[captainkink]

It has. More than you know.

[squints at the sky]

[trickor]

Humans change so quickly.

[the sky, in fact, looks sort of kind of maybeish like this]

[captainkink]

They do.

... What is that?

[trickor]

[quiet]

Asgard's sky.

[captainkink]

Holy shit.

[trickor]

[they're still sitting on the beach, but the water almost seems to fall off into space, and if Jim looks around them, it's still a wooded area but instead of Camp in the slight distance, it's tall golden spires...

meanwhile, Loki's just watching Jim]

[captainkink]

It's so bright.

[trickor]

Asgard shines with a golden light.

[captainkink]

Like a star.

[trickor]

[doesn't say anything, just leaning against Jim's shoulder]

[captainkink]

Wow.

[trickor]

[soft:]

I promised to take you on a walk through the realms. But I cannot do that yet, not while we're here. Like this, though, I can show you something of what it might be like. This is my gift to you.

[captainkink]

... Thanks. It's beautiful.

[trickor]

I...did not know...what else I could offer.
