“Hey, you okay?” Mobius. Mobius was next to him. Loki’s about to ask why he’d ask such a thing—out loud this time—only to realize he was leaning against a wall, and not in a gracious or casual way. Loki looks around, situating himself, knowing exactly where he was: one of the interminable number of hallways in the labyrinth that is the TVA. And when he was: right after cleaning himself up in a communal Temporal Core shower and putting on a fresh pair of clothes, following the time when they first ‘fixed’ his time slipping. Mobius watches him with concern, probably fearing Loki wasn’t back to normal after all. “Where do you sleep?” Loki asks. “What?” “Sleep. Rest. Where do you get it from?” O.B. had mentioned getting no sleep once, so surely everyone else in the TVA did get sleep? Like normal people do? He realized that after all his time here, he didn’t really know; he’d napped here and there at random corners of the premises, but never in an actual, proper bed. There’d been no time for that. “Well—I mean, I have an assigned room?” “Perfect. Take me to it.” Or: Loki’s in a centuries long time-loop. He needs a break.
