Loki has a tendency to analyze the potentiality of any new acquaintance, and how they may be useful. With the more innocent baseline humans around the Nexus, it's felt excessively manipulative and unkind to do so, but today? Today is a good day to reflect upon what use a demon might be to Loki, and what use said demon might try to make of him. Today, Trickster-brain may well pay off.

Anyway, the chat has been a fun game so far, pushing boundaries. From Loki's perspective, they're tied right now.

"I had not heard that particular term before," he admits. "But the concept is not unfamiliar."

That's why he worries about Thor, really. He is excessively honest.

Loki nods amiably as his invitation is accepted, and turns to fall into step side-by-side with him. "I don't mind at all. What sort of food do you prefer? I find I have a taste for Midgardian sweets--desserts as prepared by humans--but there is a tremendous variety available."

Based on the teeth, he's guessing Alastor is carnivorous. Just a hunch.
