[ Chris always forgets that, while Loki looks like he could be a cadet barely old enough to drink alcohol legally in a bar off-campus, he's actually much older that that. I have children of my own. Does he? How many? With whom?
Some people might say they know each other quite well. In some respects, they really do. In others... Loki is little more than a stranger to him. It's jarring to realize that all over again.
Still, it's gratifying to listen to the one-sided negotiations, if only because it means the worst of his anxieties are assuaged, hearing Loki's relieved voice as he shuffles even further out of range of the camera. If he can ramble on like that, he's probably fine. The fact that he can ramble on like that without an atmospheric suit on is still somewhat mind-boggling, but Chris has been slowly being exposed to all the bizarre things Loki is capable of doing, and with each new addition, they start to seem less strange.
He disappears from the view screen and pops into view in almost the same instant, a blast of freezing-cold air coming with him as well as that sharp, wintry scent Chris has gotten so used to.
A murmur of surprise ripples across the bridge, but Chris doesn't even blink. ]
Everything after "I'm dating someone" but nothing from their side.
