“Fuck this.”
That was Loki one morning. He tossed the covers off of himself so hard that it flew through the air and hit the other side of the room. The curtains felt the thick fabric’s impact, then went back to their lifeless, yet far from purposeless, idle. This was when Loki decided that if he wanted to create something, it was not going to be through his own efforts.
Life was pretty clear that his efforts were just not good enough, evidenced by the bestowal of failure after failure.
Fortunately - or perhaps, unfortunately - he knew the city well enough to know of its underbelly as well. And that was where he ended up - a manor, at the entrance. After a breath in and then out, a sigh really, he knocked.

The only person who seemed to have noticed his approach was a gardener who watered some of the umpteen plants bordering the building. They seemed curious about the arrival, but it was common knowledge workers weren’t paid to ask questions. After a delay, the doors creaked open, revealing a feminine figure in their wake.
With a pair of wolf ears on her ears and a tail swaying idly at her waist, the red-and-black haired woman turned her attention downward, as though she had already been expecting the impromptu arrival. Wedged between her lips was a lit cigarillo, its strong scent blending into the other tobacco aromas wafting throughout the facility. Taking a drag, she exhaled, and then spoke in her lightly accented manner.
“I have been expecting your arrival. You may come in.”

“Uh …” It was the quickest a pair of eyes had likely ever found him when he was parked at the foot of a door. More often than not, one expected someone of their own stature to be waiting on the other side; but in this case, not only did she guess the guest’s height, she expected him.
That hesitation and loss of words - he was an open book in regards to his having been caught off guard. “T-thanks,” he replied with a hint of surprise that he was allowed in at all. It was, no doubt, easier than he thought it would have been.
So, Loki moved beyond the heavy doors and into the manor. It was, of course, somewhat overwhelming since he just came from some shoddy apartment complex a city over.
“So - you knew I was coming?” He asked as he followed beind her.

Anniken turned around, and made her way towards the lobby area of the building. It had everything from a minibar to leather couches to station oneself at; there were many ashtrays, too, some filled beyond capacity, and a few opened wine bottles. One feature one could pick up on were the rows of elaborate paintings lining the walls, and a considerable number of flowers in pots wherever one’s eyes ventured.
“My eye – it sees things, you see. I have many visions,” the woman said, taking another drag of her tobacco stick. She advanced slowly in the direction of the bar area, though nobody seemed apparent in the building other than them. “I have seen you come to me, but the reason, it does not come to me.”
Turning back around, she leaned against the counter.
“Allow me to introduce myself; I am Anniken Godfrey. What is the name of my honoured guest?”

The girl's presence was ridiculous in its sheer potency.
It was hardly something he expected. On many occasions, his boorishness got the better of him. His words could be plump full of submissiveness, condescension - but suddenly, Loki was paying close attention to which words he chose to say.
And that's saying something.
Loki cleared his throat after bringing a balled fist to the front of his snout. "The ... pleasure is all mine," he decided to begin with. "My name's Loki Fox, and ... well..." It was then did Loki realize the difficulty in asking favours of powerful strangers who could, apparently, see the future.
"I'm attempting to nail-down a real guild with a real building and everything, but it looks like I'm gonna need some real start-up capital - but! I'd be totally able to pay it back and you could use me and my guild for anything you may need... taking care of." He paused, but then continued anyway. "For free, of course!" The reaction was as if silently the question was posed, so he answered it preemptively.

Booze? Juice? Coffee?”
The woman meandered her way beyond the bar counter, and began to set up a glass for herself. Preparing a bottle of hard liquor, she filled half the glass and decided to have it straight. Without an answer from Loki yet, she could not start preparations for the drink in question.
However, she spoke on the matter at hand.
“You seem like a wise guy, Loki. I like that, you see. People who have the brains, people who make the right choices. I can appreciate that in a person,” she started, cigarillo in one hand and an exquisite glass in the other. “We could use more people like you with a level head on their shoulders.”
Taking a swig, she continued, her voice still in its borderline whisper. “I will make you a good deal; we will not charge great interest, for these services you mention. But you must teach your guild members about our partnership.”

“Oh, well ...” he trailed off to ponder; but his thoughts were less about preferences and more about if he should refuse or accept the offer. What was perceived as more polite? That was the question he briefly posed to himself before he realized just how uptight he had been up until that point.
“Booze, for sure.” Loki's response was finally with a tone more familiar to himself; confident, tinged with a certain slyness – why not unwind instead of making such a potentially joyous occasion uncomfortable?
Instead of some off-brand bashfulness, the flattery instead lent the fox a newfound light behind those world-weary eyes of his. “Really? Yeah?” was his initial reply, to which he felt compelled assure her of her request. “Of course! I'll totally do that, yeah!
“Thanks a million!”
He was more ecstatic than he's been in a while and it showed rather vividly, especially after having been peppered with so many compliments.
