Loki is looking thoughtful now, though. "Actually, what Thor claimed was that she seemed to have a grudge against the mere fact of his existence. I thought that seemed like a harsh assessment, but I'm beginning to wonder."
"We are what we are, you know," he says. "If our providences overlap with yours, it's hardly deliberate."
He's probably walking himself into trouble at this point, but it's not winter yet. Maybe it's better to just go ahead and make a bad impression now and avoid Reynard later, when he will presumably be at the height of his power. "He is present in the Nexus, yes. And he is an alternate of my actual adopted brother, as we are not from the same world, so technically I suppose that would be a no, but I might stick my neck out for him anyway should the occasion call for it."
His smile is faint, but hard to miss, and his gaze is suddenly very intent. "He has duties. He is the king of a people in exile. If he brings trouble upon himself again, so be it, but should he merely be walking through your personal space, I would ask you to remember that the lives of thousands depend upon him."
