"Hi, this is Verity. I can't come to the phone right now, so please leave a message. Thanks!"

Ported out long enough, you could say.

[ after a certain amount of time people just didn't come back, and while he wasn't one to sit around pining, he also wasn't one who generally went with the loss of friendship. mostly because he didn't have friends. ]

Sometimes people come back, sometimes they don't.

For now, she's not.

[ putting it simply is for his own sake. he's trying to reign in what he can. ]

[ The fervent passion with which Lydia spoke of him leaves something very amiss in the tone of the texts, like the same buoyancy has been swapped out for dead weight. Fuss and bother won't do him any good, so she thinks of the driven girl she met instead (and by specific extension, him). ]

She didn't seem the type who would want to come back to see her things lost, if she does.
If you need some help collecting any of her stuff for sake-keeping, I have two buff arms.

[ That he wouldn't need, technically, but it's the gesture that counts if he wants company and something productive to do. ]

[ there were a few things that he knew. one of those things is that somehow, eventually, everyone would leave here. being Ported out was inevitable, even for someone like him, or for any members of the Young Avengers. at the time that he had told himself that, he found it comforting. he may wake up and be surrounded in different people, and then he could start again.

no where along the way did he expect this. ]

You're possibly maybe suggesting a little B&E? Maybe possibly?

[ well that perks him up. ]

[ Oh, Loki. Verity smiles lopsidedly, snorting a little. ]

Extremely minute degrees, maybe possibly.
You DID date her, I'm sure she'd be okay with you looking after her stuff.
It would be weird leaving it to gather dust.

[ She knows you too well, trashbaby. ]

[ funny, the first thing he had done when Hank Pym had been Ported out had been get his hands on his things. but that had been for a reason, those things had been useful rather than sentimental. on a level this just seems a bit like wishful thinking. if she did return, would she remember him? (would it be better if she didn't?) ]

I'm certain I could find room for 37 different shades of lipstick. ;)

[ it's just a little B&E.

it'll be fun. ]

Just the one and her favorite soft toy, perhaps.

[ Or whatever Lydia found sentimental. ]

How am I supposed to just take 1? There's casual, semi casual, elegant, evening, formal, formal evening, 10-5, late night, Fri clubbing, Sat clubbing & sexy museum outing.

[ he made up that last one. probably. ]
