Some old slang are just like that. And if you think I'm bad, wait till you hear McCoy got at it. Old metaphors are his favourite.

[trickor]

Joy.

[captainkink]

Or you could not.

[trickor]

...I should like to meet your crew. Properly. At some point.

[captainkink]

I can't remember if you've met Bones or not. Not that he'd remember.

[trickor]

...When I burned you.

[captainkink]

When an accident happened. Don't worry. I've done worse to myself.

[trickor]

You do realize that doesn't inspire great confidence.

[captainkink]

It's not meant to. You're not the only person who can hurt me, Loki. Sometimes, I'm the best person to do it to myself.

[trickor]

...Captain.

[captainkink]

As you already know.

[pats his back] You're not the worst thing that happened to me. You're the best.

[trickor]

[...what does one even say to that '^']

[captainkink]

[how should I know]

Check mate.

[trickor]

--You distracted me.

[grudgingly]

Well done.

[captainkink]

I never said I'd play fair.

[trickor]

No you didn't.

[and he sounds strangely proud of that]

[captainkink]

Best two out of three?

[trickor]

If you don't mind.

[captainkink]

Sure.

[trickor]

[resets the board with a wave of his hand]

[captainkink]

Show off.

[trickor]

Perhaps a bit.

[captainkink]

"A bit"?

[trickor]

Or perhaps it's because I have an audience.

[captainkink]

What, I don't count as an audience?
