There were hundreds of natural disasters that occurred without warning - hundreds and only three people were reading through the files.
Freya had given up on coffee runs hours ago, and was currently fast asleep next to Loki at the library table they'd commandeered. Both were in similar positions, their arms cushioning their heads on the harsh wood. Mobius looks up from his file, eyes heavy, he sees both his help asleep and gently taps the table.
"Hey?"
"Hm?" Freya looks up with sleepy eyes
"Come on, let's take a walk,"
A walk meant food - something Freya was grateful for. She found herself sitting in between Loki and Mobius at a cafeteria table, an orange mug holding a warm tea, and a green plate displaying a coffee cupcake. Both men next to her had attempted to squash their long legs under the small table, and as a result, all their legs were somewhat entwined and touching.
"By the way, at your desk, that magazine?" Loki suddenly speaks
"Yeah. The one on jet skis?"
"Yes! Why do you have that?"
"Because they're awesome," Mobius chuckles, and Freya rolls her eyes smiling
"I suppose they are," Loki shrugs
"Yeah. You know, some things... Actually, most things in history are kinda dumb, and everything gets ruined eventually. But in the early 1990s, for a brief, shining moment, there was a beautiful union of form and function, which we call the jet ski, and a reasonable man cannot differ,"
Loki glances at Freya during Mobius' speech, and notices her mouthing along with him, clearly having heard this before, she winks at Loki.
"You ever been on one?"
"No... No. I think a TVA agent showing up on a jet ski on the Sacred Timeline, that would create a branch for sure,"
"We could always find out," Freya proposes, taking a bite of cupcake.
"No, we couldn't," Mobius shakes his head
"It'd be fun, though," Loki smiles
"Yeah, it'd be really fun..."
"So, why read about them?"
"Just helps remind me of what we're fighting for."
"I mean, you really believe in all this stuff, don't you?" Loki asks doubtfully
"I don't get hung up on, 'Believe, not believe.' I just accept what is,"
"Three magic lizards -"
"Time-Keepers," Freya corrects softly
"...created the TVA, and everyone in it..."
"Right,"
"...including you two?"
"Including us," Mobius nods
"Every time I start to admire your intelligence, you say something like that,"
"Okay, who created you, Loki?" Mobius retaliates and Freya watches the two talk as she eats, very entertained
"A Frost Giant of Jotunheim."
"And who raised you?"
"Odin of Asgard."
"Odin, God of the Heavens. Asgard, a mystical realm, beyond the stars. Frost Giants. Listen to yourself..."
"It's not the same. It's completely different!"
"It is the same!
"No, it's not!",
