[Understandable, in its way. Loki has been in that kind of desperate pain and despair before, though not from Thanos. His had been from disappointment, and knowledge he would never be the son his father wanted. It was why he had let go of Gungnir those years ago. Part of how he had ended up in the Mad Titan's service to begin with.
But Loki let's his gaze come back to her, listening--and nodding with her words.]
When I first arrived...there were bonfires. Thor and I were at one, although we did not talk about it. Not beyond my confirming that I was, in fact, dead. It wasn't an illusion--although he has not been here since so perhaps the joke is on me? Maybe he was little more than an illusion this time. One that felt all too real.
[Pausing, and now Loki let himself sit back a bit. One leg crossing over the other and his hands going to his knee. Thoughtful...]
We're neither of us able to do much about it from here, unless Vaeros is as good as his word. But I do believe that there are people out there who are determined enough, like the soldier or the widow, or mad enough, like Stark, to stop him. So...I intend to focus on things here where I can be effective.
