[Puzzle 013]

[Part 1

Homework on the weekends is just plain unfair! Luke chooses not to bring this up with his favorite teacher, however, opting instead to carry his notebook and papers and books to somewhere else to study. He considers the library, standing before its door for a while, but in the end he turns around and goes through the Welcome Center to the Tea Shop instead. The sense of bustle helps him get all distracted concentrate.

Plus, there's tea. He chooses an empty table and spreads out everything he'll need. As usual, this turns pretty quickly into him sitting there with a full cup of tea while he devises puzzles on paper or of paper. At the height of his distraction he builds a tower of folded paper cubes...and a gust of wind through the window scatters them all across the floor.

Then he's got to pick them up again.

Part 2

After all - or most - of his schoolwork is finished, Luke shoulders his bag and heads off to the stables. Just because Mr. Greg went home is no reason to slack in his responsibilities! He loves the horses and they tend to like him too. Besides, he brought carrots.

He greets any fellow stablehands and goes about his horsey business, picking up a rake to start on clearing one of the stalls. Of course, you've got to get the horse out of it first.

What happens next isn't quite clear to him once it's over; all he knows is that something spooked the horse and he managed to get out of the way before it kicked, and now he's on the ground with the rake's handle trapped beneath him. Pushing himself up again, he sees that the sound he heard must have been said handle half-snapping as he landed on it. Then he notices something else.

A bit shaky, he goes back to his bag and fumbles his journal out of it.]


I think there's...a bit of a problem... I'm at the- the stables and I fell and, uh...I might be hurt.

[Though he sounds unsure, it's the kind of unsure that really makes one sure.]

[[ooc: Go ahead. Break time. You know you want to. It'll be great. (Meaning, of course more than one person can find him at the tea shop/pick up papers with him/discover his fate in the stables. Have fun!)]]

Suit yourself. Teleporting is just quite a bit faster. And it's not pleasant to walk with a broken bone, when every footstep jars.

[He will be walking along with the boy, though. He has the time spare at the moment, and doesn't want to deal with being bothered by busybodies if he lets Luke go on his own.]

[He rather had a feeling you thought something like that.]

...of course not.

[Loki takes Luke's hand firmly and leads him to the door of the stable. He pauses for a moment, staring through the doorway, and then they step through...

...into the clinic at the Battledome.

He lets go of Luke's hand.]

Yes. [It's the simplest explanation and he doubts the boy will appreciate a mathematical dissertation.]

You are welcome. Best to get a broken bone seen too quickly, before too much swelling occurs. 'Tis easier on the healers.

[He can tell there's something more to that question.]

Do you wish me to stay?

[Loki's eyebrow goes up.]

You're quite correct. I don't have to do anything. [He's a god. It's like being a 900 pound gorilla but so much prettier.] Do you want me to?

[Luke is, after all, one of the volunteers at the stable. He does want them to stick around, since they're quite helpful. And, well. There's the in-common liking horses thing that helps.]

[Dryly:] Goodness, Luke, you do know how to make a god feel wanted.

[But he moves to follow Luke anyway.]

[Loki nods.] I don't particularly like going to the healers either. But 'tis better than healing slowly.

[Loki stands to the side like a shadow on the wall, quietly observing.

He nods.]


You are welcome.

Do try. But accidents also do happen.

Nay, you must rest your arm. I don't wish to be in trouble with the healers. [He smiles crookedly.] 'Tis never advisable to have the healers cross at one.

Come back once you're healed.
