[He knows it. He'd made the joke to Loki, since they were talking mythologies during introductions for obvious reasons. (Loki had opted for the slasher movie comparison instead.) But he wouldn't call his namesake a favorite. He huffs a breath out when he catches on to her meaning, rocking forward in his chair a little.]

Medea's portrayal isn't entirely sympathetic, but the general themes aren't all that unfamiliar. Abandonment by someone you'd dedicated yourself to. Seeking out vengeance and justice in an unjust society.)

Of course, that's the same kind of bitter topic that had edged them into dangerous territory the last time they'd spoken. And this isn't book club. He skips right on past that to address the elephant in the announcement.
