[As he sits, Loki gives Ethan a rather serious look, as if he was mentally trying to pull him apart, wanting to see inside and figure out why he’s done what he’s done. Or maybe he’s just trying to intimidate him. Even Loki isn’t sure right now as he tries to remain calm despite the anger raging in his chest.

Ethan looks rough and all Loki can think is good, though part of him almost wishes he being cocky about what he did just so Loki could punch him in the face without feeling bad about it. Thing is, Loki knows all too well what guilt looks like and that’s exactly how Ethan looks. He supposes Ethan could be faking it. Could have faked everything that had led Loki to believe they might be friends. But somehow the shame radiating off the other man feels real. It is honestly the only thing keeping his anger in check. Well, that and his promise to Hob.

Loki doesn’t let any of this show though. He remains calm and cool, a dark smile on his face and, if Ethan is paying attention, he might notice a green tint to his usually blue eyes. When he speaks, his tone is too calm with a hint of sarcasm.]

Unfortunately, it was someone I am quite close with. And as I understand it, someone else I think quite highly of. It seems at least one of them is quite forgiving. [Loki leans in again and gives him a rather sweet looking smile, though his eyes show his true feelings on the matter.] Alas, I am not such a forgiving person.
