[Indeed, Billy, indeed and Loki flashes him a sharp grin because the art of Rick Rolling someone is something he greatly appreciates.
And he keeps RickRolling him, because hey, the lyrics are rather fitting and it helps to focus and relax at the same time. Because this time there are only 2 minutes between summoning the first flame and the second one.
When Loki is done he sits back a little, watching the two candles briefly before turning to Billy.]
[Amazing what a bit of trolling can do. Billy looks more impressed when he sees the results, turning his phone to show the screen to Loki, displaying his best time.]
Much better. I guess the secret to your magic is adding a little music to it, huh?
[Everyone's got their own method, so it makes sense. And this is one method he can help with plenty.]
...on the other hand, photo with Loki. Of Asgard. How can he turn that down? Plus the bff thing is a surprise, but not an unwelcome comment. Maybe he's moving up in the world.]
[It takes him a moment to think of something - really, he hasn't made ridiculous faces for a photo since he was little and trying to make his baby brother stop crying, or something like that. Finally he squishes his cheeks in, eyes squinting.]
[Loki chooses for a delightful combination of looking cross-eyed and sticking his tongue out as far as he can. As a god of mischief he deems himself quite talented at things like this.
After a short nod he presses the small green button with the camera-symbol on it.]
We could put our mission points together and request an internet connection. Since you must have oodles of them and I have a grand total of zero, you will be the one who will benefit the most from it after all.
And because of our bond of great friendship I will benefit as well. And thus we are so-called 'friends with benefits'.
[In where Loki completely misinterprets the term.]
In a demonstration of particularly stellar timing, Billy had been taking a drink from his milkshake as Loki said that. Which means that his spluttering reply was even more adventurous than usual.]
Oh my god- Loki- oh my god, okay- don't- don't ever say that. To anyone. Ever. Please.
You could not live with the word 'benefits'? I have heard of this phrase a lot and it sounds quite accurate for the situation that has just presented itself, you see?
[Ed? Eductation perhaps? Lessons in sex? Did such a thing exist?]
Who showed me the workings of sex, you mean? Well, Midgardians like to record their sex with their devices and after that they transfer their films to the world of online for everyone to see.
I am not quite sure what purpose it holds. Perhaps they derive pleasure out of seeing others rut.

[action | A MOST VERY MAGICAL WEDNESDAY PAST]
That is most satisfactory! We should seal it with the fist of bro.
[So extends his arm and presents his fist.]
[action | A MOST VERY MAGICAL WEDNESDAY PAST]
[First he gives Loki the promised fistbump, then he offers the phone out to him.]
And your reward, as promised. But there's no internet on it- I guess they don't have it here.
[action | A MOST VERY MAGICAL WEDNESDAY PAST]
Billy of New York. We need to make a picture where we do this 'squishing of the faces'. Like bff's do.
[action | A MOST VERY MAGICAL WEDNESDAY PAST]
[But that's so uncool...
...on the other hand, photo with Loki. Of Asgard. How can he turn that down? Plus the bff thing is a surprise, but not an unwelcome comment. Maybe he's moving up in the world.]
Haha, okay. Did you find the camera?
[action | A MOST VERY MAGICAL WEDNESDAY PAST]
The camera is here. Yes, yes, right here.
[He shows Billy that he has found the camera. Finally he scoots over to sit next to him.]
Are duck-faces a mandatory thing?
[action | A MOST VERY MAGICAL WEDNESDAY PAST]
Mandatory? They really, really aren't. Most people just smile for photos...
[Where does this kid get such weird ideas.]
[action | A MOST VERY MAGICAL WEDNESDAY PAST]
[Loki looks up at the other.]
Let us do funny faces instead, yes? They convey the fun nature of an event quite well.
[He fidgets with the phone some more before he flips the thing around and extends his arm as far as he can.]
Let me know when you are ready, then I will press the button and make the picture.
[action | A MOST VERY MAGICAL WEDNESDAY PAST]
...'Kay, go.
[action | A MOST VERY MAGICAL WEDNESDAY PAST]
After a short nod he presses the small green button with the camera-symbol on it.]
[action | A MOST VERY MAGICAL WEDNESDAY PAST]
...Yep, that's a silly picture alright.]
Cool, we're immortalized on my iPhone.
[action | A MOST VERY MAGICAL WEDNESDAY PAST]
Aye. I cannot agree more.
Do you also have these applications they call apps? Phones of I do have these.
[And without any further ado he starts tapping away on Billy's phone.]
If I call any of these numbers. Will someone pick up?
[action | A MOST VERY MAGICAL WEDNESDAY PAST]
[He points to the sad little symbol at the top of the screen that shows its lack of connection.]
It's the same with the internet.
[action | A MOST VERY MAGICAL WEDNESDAY PAST]
[Loki looks at Billy and nudges him.]
We could put our mission points together and request an internet connection. Since you must have oodles of them and I have a grand total of zero, you will be the one who will benefit the most from it after all.
And because of our bond of great friendship I will benefit as well. And thus we are so-called 'friends with benefits'.

Oh my god- Loki- oh my god, okay- don't- don't ever say that. To anyone. Ever. Please.
[action | A MOST VERY MAGICAL WEDNESDAY PAST]
We are not friends with benefits? Could this phrase mean something else? Or refer to benefits of a different kind?
Hmn.
Friends who profit from eachother, yes?
[action | A MOST VERY MAGICAL WEDNESDAY PAST]
Yeah, that's... uh. I can live with that.
[action | A MOST VERY MAGICAL WEDNESDAY PAST]
Please enlighten me.
[action | A MOST VERY MAGICAL WEDNESDAY PAST]
It's not the word itself, it's- look, the phrase "friends with benefits" means people who are... y'know.
[He holds one hand up with his fingers curled in an "o" shape, thrusting the pointer finger of his other hand through it to demonstrate... well.]
[action | A MOST VERY MAGICAL WEDNESDAY PAST]
He shakes his head.]
I consider myself surprised and confused with the fact that the word 'benefits' refers to intercourse when used in that context.
[He mimics the thing Billy is portraying with his fingers.]
Ah, this gesture refers to intercourse too. By Odin's sores, why are Midgardians so focused on their rut?
[action | A MOST VERY MAGICAL WEDNESDAY PAST]
[Oh god he is so not explaining the merits of sex to a kid. Even an immortal godly one.]
[action | A MOST VERY MAGICAL WEDNESDAY PAST] [what is this conversation]
[Loki is not unfamiliar with the concept. After all, the world of online is quite full of people who have sex.]
It involves a lot of screaming and grunting. And sweating.
[action | A MOST VERY MAGICAL WEDNESDAY PAST] mega sexual
Who the heck gave you sex ed!?
[Seriously, who would describe sex like that to a little guy like this. (Even if it is mostly accurate.)]
[action | A MOST VERY MAGICAL WEDNESDAY PAST] incredibly sexual
[Ed? Eductation perhaps? Lessons in sex? Did such a thing exist?]
Who showed me the workings of sex, you mean? Well, Midgardians like to record their sex with their devices and after that they transfer their films to the world of online for everyone to see.
