[headcanons] Lokius but its Loki being.. well. Loki.
- Loki: I’m not doing field missions. I don’t take orders. I delegate.
cut to him in the field, dirt on his face, one sleeve ripped, yelling “GET BEHIND ME MOBIUS” while stabbing a time anomaly with something thats probably cursed
- Mobius: I’m just going to go talk to Renslayer. Alone.
Loki: Fine. I’m staying out of it.
Cue Loki casually materialising in the corner of the room mid-confrontation like, “Oh don’t mind me, Im just a decorative dagger rack”
- Loki: I don’t get attached. That’s for lesser beings.
Mobius is 11 minutes late to their usual meeting time.
Loki: already convinced he’s been pruned, mourning him like a tragic widow, composing a ballad in ancient Asgardian about “a man who smelled faintly of vanilla and mid-century repression”
- Mobius: Dont wait up. I’ve got a late debrief.
Loki: I wouldnt waste time waiting.
Cue to Loki literally sitting on top of Mobius’ desk, cross-legged, reading a 900-page time law book by candlelight like a Victorian ghost wife.
- Mobius: I’m proud of you.
Loki, full deer-in-headlights panic, blinking rapidly: Y-you cant say things like that to me, I’m made of trauma.
- Mobius touches his arm for .3 seconds
Loki, five hours later, pacing in his quarters in full Asgardian armor: I could kiss him. Not like I want to, of course, but tactically. For morale. Or espionage. Or-gods, what am I saying-what if I did kiss him? What if I’ve already kissed him in a branched timeline and forgotten it?! I HAVE TO GO FIND THAT VERSION OF ME-
