[For once, Luke isn't posting on purpose, so he's a bit hunched over in shadow from a distance, looking solemn, concentrating. The device is filming from a dresser. He's wearing a shoulder bag, which shortly bursts into flame while he's holding it, the flame disappearing into Luke to reveal another object, in his hands. It looks as if it's made up of many pieces of glass, cobbled together with a seam made of what looks like lava, red-orange and glowing. It can't really be glass, of course, or it can't be lava, because lava would melt the glass, surely.

Or maybe metaphors and magic don't follow the laws of physics.

Either way, he lifts it up to his chest, where the angle makes it finally clear that it's a heart, and his shirt flickers forward to stitch around it, holding it in a lump to his plaid shirt in a sort of pocket. The seams can be seen glowing through the pocket before he sighs, and the pocket flames and disappears, leaving him holding his heart again. He pauses.

He's just lifted it up to his face when the video ends.]

There's a lot of that going around.

And I need to talk to you and Serrure.

Even yours? Does it get larger when you're angry? Never mind, I know.

Sorry it didn't work. It nearly did. And then it didn't.

No, it's radioactive.

You know? Then you know what comes next.

Only because you want it to be.

You're cross at me and you scold me for some time about how this is really just what you expected all along from a Loki?

I don't want it to be radioactive.

No, I tell you that you and Serrure are going to give me back the scepter. Then we're only going to speak of things pertaining to Margie.

You want people to stay away from it.

Will you? Isn't it there?

I don't want anyone getting hurt.

Luke, get the scepter and bring it back. Don't make me find it.

Your heart is on fire.

Leah's heart is melting.

Today is terrible. P.S. The melting? Not a metaphor.

I'm surprised it isn't more on fire, really and are you serious? Perhaps you might put it in a mould and add more ice to it? We could go to Xanadu and pack it with snow?

We've got it in the freezer for now, I worry it is not cold enough.

Xanadu, then. Snow. And then a bit of water on that snow so it freezes around and more snow on top of that. We'll build a Leah's heart snowgirl.

I shall give her half of mine if it does melt. The good half. Do you think that would work if the snow and ice fails?

I think it must.

I hope David's is safe. Perhaps I ought not to have swallowed mine...

You look a bit wistful.

Mm, trying to work out where to put it, mainly. It's hardly safe, out in the open like that.

Keeping it close to your person seems the best option. You can instantly conjure fire for protection.

Well, yes, but it's where to keep it without it looking silly, you know. It's very bulky. Anyway, I've sorted it.

Turned it into a fashion statement?

Swallowed it.

[Meanwhile, Margie has decided that since the City has made David's heart into a cricket ball, that means it's time to play football with it.]

No, oh dear, don't -- Ah! -- Please stop tha-- Uh! [Then Luke might hear him collapse on the floor.]

[That is not a good sound. None of those were good sounds. Luke rushes into the room and crouches beside David, making sure he hasn't hurt himself too much, falling. Next goal: getting a new toy off a super-strong toddler.]

Unh... Luke... Margie, heart...

[Luke pats David's chest and kisses his forehead and he's off.]

Margie. No. Hey, come on. That's important to David. We don't want to hurt David, do we? [Haha. Reasoning with a toddler... She clearly likes the satisfying weight of it. Quickfix, Luke grabs one of her favoured stuffed animals off the floor, cuts it open, puts in a. Hurry. Puts in a rock, pads it back with the stuffing, and safety pins it together. He'll sew it later, now is the time for an Indiana Jones style trade out and...

Ok, well nearly a toddler sulk, but he tosses the toy, lets Margie toss it on her feet, and she's distracted enough for him to head back to David, cradling a cricket ball. Of course it would be, though. Of course.]

[David reaches for the cricket ball, feeling infinitely better once it's back in his grasp. It's a little scuffed, but David figures that's alright; the best ones are, anyway.

He looks up at Luke.] Thanks. What have you done with yours?

Swallowed it. I'm glad yours wasn't breakable. I'm not sure you'd want mine, now.

[He pulls David back and up into his lap, wrapping his arms about him. He's feeling really vulnerable, and unliked since the plan failed.]
