Tension release valve

The branch, oddly lumpy as a branch, with its bark stripped off and some shaping was definitely interesting. At some point in the tree’s life, honeysuckle had grown on it and choked the branches, and even though the flowers had clearly not been part of the tree for a long time, the twisting looked very much like a snake wrapped around the top.

Loki hadn’t budged from his room in days, wrapped up as he was in crafting something that wasn’t gong to be particularly useful as a walking stick or a weapon. At some point he’d propped his door open just so he didn’t have to split focus between what he wanted to do and dealing with knocking. Mostly the only people who came by were people he didn’t mind, anyway.

"You can." Valkyrie was content to lounge about naked as the day she was born, but the shower called. Reaching for the bottle she'd forgotten, she took a swig off it before pushing it to the side. As she made her way to the shower, she picked up Loki's shirt and tossed it back his way with a smirk.

Part of Loki considered offering to join her in the shower, but he dismissed the idea almost instantly. The moment was over, no need to cling on. Instead he just caught the shirt, offered a slight seated bow, and considered whether or not to hide her clothing while she showered.
