Most of the Asgardian refugees seem to still be in shock. Loki is more or less quit of the problem now, since he's been killed and knocked--at least temporarily--out of his universe (he's working on that). Before that ugly incident, though, he had a few of his people come up and alternate begging and demanding he tell them the whole disaster was some kind of prank of his, in truly terrible taste. Sort of a 'haha, you got us, please put our homes back now'.

He has a bad reputation. Still, that hurt quite a bit.

"Our soldiers were...they sacrificed themselves," he says with a grimace. "But most of our civilians made it to safety."

He doesn't have the heart to be proud of that, even if he's technically the one that made sure there was a big ship there to carry them away from the battle.

"There was a two-stage water filter system," he says. "Potable water to graywater, recycled until it was no longer reliably clean, then converted to blackwater tanks. It's a serviceable system, but I would venture to say the ship isn't truly designed for a long voyage in space. Shorter travels within a solar system, yes. Carrying hundreds of souls hundreds of light years to a safe harbor...not so much."

Better than nothing, though. Much.
