I don't think he's dating at the point I came from. [ so possibly the girlfriend doesn't work out. on the other hand, he shouldn't be encouraging loki with this, so he doesn't add any more to that comment.

instead, he takes a bite of his own pancake just because it's there, trapping loki's knees between his own to keep him from fidgeting any more with them. ]

Did you ask if they were interested in some sort of poly arrangement?
