[There hadn't been such a drastic change by the time Verity had returned to her own apartment. More than anything else, sleeping with Loki had probably returned things to being more normal between them, the awkward misunderstandings of physical attraction in the middle having been quite an unnecessary annoyance more than anything, and it was fairly nice.
But everything is as it is, everything except for the now seemingly permanent smell of apple that almost seems to follow her at a constant. Her missing of Loki while not having him around is old news, though it's met with a huffing smile and a nice memory this time instead of the usual depth of worry. She's more relaxed overall, managing to get through an extra page or two tonight in Pride and Prejudice, the nagging still in the back of her head but almost easier to ignore.
When she gets the call, it's hardly too late on her end, though she's hardly dressed up for a video conversation — sweats, t-shirt, messy braids, no bra, no makeup — but it's Loki, who knows her most from any angle and she can't even be annoyed.
Sitting up and pushing her glasses up to the bridge of her nose, she answers with a raised brow.] I'm still not calling it that, you know.
