[It’s very hard for Loki not to smirk. He knows he’s made a good point.]

No, I suppose I do not. But I also know that most who survive battle did so because they had others with them watching their back. With these things, there is always strength in numbers.

[When she concedes his point, he lets his smirk show fully.]

Excellent. Now that we have agreed on that point, I have a favour to ask. When you are feeling up to it, would you consider telling me what did happen? I would like to now what worked against the beast and how your magic succeeded. Perhaps with some of this information we can prevent this from happening again.
