[Semi-Closed] Heads I Win, Tales You Lose

Who: Schwarz and business acquaintances
What: Meeting Loki's OG Boss
When: June 12
Where: Loki's Hollow
Warnings: General meeting of broken moral compass gods and the poor not-as-bad people who got bonded to them

The icy cavern outside of Loki's Hollow is a fair deterrent to standing around outside of the alcove entrance for very long. If you do know where to find the latch on the little table, it's no trouble at all. It pops the turning door when touched, which leads into the main living space. That much is communal.

Unlike many other temples, Schuldig's isn't very large. Perhaps that's because he has the full expanse of the exterior cavern and a hallway leading into it that he gets to 'guard' as part of his temple. In the warm space, there's really only the two bedrooms and a guest bathroom plus Schuldig's master suite. It's a luxury hotel space tucked away in a mountain, the likes of which have become popular in Europe of late, the kind of place Schuldig spends very little time in unless he's sleeping. That's why it's not an ideal meeting space... unless you want that meeting to be as clandestine as possible in the Far Shore. And today, introducing his shinki to the newly-arrived boss and meeting his shinki in turn, that's about all the temple needs to be used for. At least the entryway-plus-living room is quite large. Maybe they can be convinced to play some cards.

[[OOC: If Schuldig or Crawford hasn't told your character the location of Loki's Hollow, or your character's power doesn't allow them to spy, please ask about finding Schuldig's temple.]]

It doesn't take a great liar to know a bad one, but still Crawford merely replies:

"That's good to know."

She had touched on the only thing he cared about; that she wouldn't interfere with their plans. Beyond that, Crawford didn't particularly care about any quarrel between her and Schuldig. Far be it from him to police how Schuldig breaks his toys, as long as he does so quietly and out of the way. Frankly, with Schuldig's temperament, Crawford didn't have to the time to get involved with every little thing.

"As long as you stay out of the way..."

He shrugs, casually takes a step back from her and looks around the cavern, as if admiring her handiwork in housekeeping, before offering something like a smile.

"Should we find the others?"

Earlier, she had mentally compared Crawford to a shark based on Schuldig's behavior in regards to him alone. Now she sees that might have bee a very accurate statement. For all his charm, Jennifer has a honed instinct that tells her things are off. What little she did know about his partnership with Schuldig could have told her as much as well, but this all sort of cements it. Crawford is Dangerous, and Jennifer has been in too many situations like this to not be on her best behavior and do whatever she can to assure her own survival.

"...Of course. I wouldn't dream of being difficult for you."

This is no different, and she means it whole-heartedly. His question makes her curtsy again and nod, gesturing for him to follow her. "I don't believe they're far."

Her answer visibly pleases him. Meek or not, at least she has the sense to know the situation she's in. That's all he can ask for in their shared predicament.

Crawford follows her down the hall, and although he knows they'll soon run into the others he still remarks:

"I think you're right."

Shaking his head, he sighs.

"You can hear Schuldig from here...He's rather loud, isn't he? I use to think it was a German thing..."
