Alice and Gamora are out, so your identity is preserved.
[Keeping any of his feelings from showing, although he's staring at the other for a while with Puck's words. Turning things over a lot in his mind.]
You're not here to reject me.
[Despite the statement, it's a question.]
The profile is true, if painting me in the worst light. But...you're here. I'm confused.
[Another pause, and now Loki looked away.]
This is where, before, I've always been turned on. Those who already distrusted me take it as justification, and those who weren't certain just take it as a sign that they've been fooled and betrayed. So they turn on me.
[There is a long and weary breath taken in and out, and Loki's next words are so very honest it's painful.]
