There's a careful lift of the driver's head as he watches it, that familiar full-blink near-twitch that he's thought on and off about for years, how Loki seems to pull himself together stitch-by-stitch in real time needing only a fraction of a second to do it. It's always been fascinating to him, how Loki moves. He used to be envious of it, but now he finds it comforting. Even now, through a sting of an emotion Paul's yet to realize is guilt.
Loki's just as short and to the point, cutting through everything and it's enough that Paul can't help the flutter of a smile. It's a flash but there, boyish on the driver's tall frame. It's gone in an instant, as quickly as Loki's blink as the other asks.
"I could drive you to work," He counter-offers, staring at the other's jaw, the way he still leads with his shoulders into everything and everything, even conversations. He's purposefully ignoring what he'd been asked.
