"Well, okay," Ruby said, her smile brightening at his crooked grin because full-blown Loki smiles were surely amongst some of the best things in the world.

Gossip was one of the truest forms of entertainment in Storybrooke for some of these people, so she doubted Loki would go entirely untouched as far as surprise conversations went. Still, Loki was surely one of the cleverest people Ruby had ever encountered, with ample charm to go along with it. She was sure if she got called away he could fend of the hordes with little help from her.

I stacked that whipped cream so you're probably going to get some on your nose, and I think a picture of you with whipped cream on your face would really showcase you're softer side, Lokidoki."
