"I'm certain a fellow could, but you are not enjoying yourself from where I'm sitting." Okay Loki is very awake now, because this is an interesting little sort of puzzle, and also because the response irritates him a bit, and he can't quite put his finger on why immediately.

"Did you have a breakup?" It's been a year and some time since he's last seen Bene; could be the man finally got himself a boyfriend. Though Loki narrows his eyes a bit: "It wasn't Byerly, was it?"

Please, please say no.
