Matt Murdock is actually dressed for the beach. Still likely more than usual. He burns so easily. There's no way he could have done this alone. Anyone who is anyone in Nexus knows that there is that distinct Verity Willis touch on everything. If the sounds and the sights don't get you, it is going to be whatever Clint has on the grill. That man is magic.

Verity comes over to see what Loki's up to, and to bring him something to eat. A burger with extra bacon, some potato salad, and some fruit salad too. Because, yeah yeah he's a god, he's still gotta eat right. There's a couple of cookies for dessert and a bottle of soda to sweeten things up. "Looks like you've got big plans."

"I shall carve out a kingdom all my own, on these untamed shores!" he declares, giving a fiendish laugh--Verity knows full well that he doesn't mean any of it, and anyone with common sense ought to realize the same, but this is Loki we're talking about.
"Ooh, and already the locals bring me tribute! I shall accept it with dignity and grace," he adds, brushing off his hands and receiving his plate. "Thank you!"

Ah, affection. It does a soul good.
"You're right," he muses, "I'm going to need a royal chancellor. Are you busy?"

"Hmm," he not-answers, thinking. "Well, I've got an architect working on the main keep," or, y'know, Hunter, "and the curtain wall is coming along nicely, but in order to rule this beach properly, we're going to need a cohesive policy platform, going forward."

"True. And a tax plan. Running kingdoms is an expensive prospect, especially given you're building on sand. So, what kind of king do you want to be?"
no subject
"Oh, that's a hard question," Loki muses. "The kind who gets excellent advice from his chancellor, for a start. And maybe listens to it." After a beat, he decides, "we need to get you a stick! A proper chancellor's staff, that you can rap on the ground and make everybody pay attention."

"Don't tempt me." Then she winks and ruffles his hair.
no subject
Loki's starting to look a little serious as well before that wink and hair-ruffle, which prompt a grin and a laugh. "Alright, no stick. What should our tax policy be? Do we even have a currency?" He glances in the direction of the grill and speculates, "we could have an economy based on flame-kissed meats!" Speaking of, it's time for a bite of hamburger. Mmm, burger.

"Perfect! This is why I made you my advisor. You're smart, and too nice to plot a coup."

"I know," he answers with a smile. This seems like a good time for a hug, too. "I won't let anyone hurt you, either."
