Summary
“Has… that ever happened before?” Loki asked quietly.
“I’ve passed out before, sure. But that time there was an obvious cause.”
Loki’s concern must have been written all over his face, because Mobius attempted to reassure him with a smile.
“S’fine, Loki. Probably just low blood sugar or something,” he said, affecting dismissiveness that was not wholly convincing.
When Mobius starts randomly fainting, the cause is a mystery. Hopefully Loki can find and fix it, before Mobius' life is endangered.
