[ it would have dropped sooner or later, and it's better for him to have a decent idea of what path a Loki in another universe had taken. if there was a Loki, and from the reaction, this was most certainly the case. there were questions that he had (did all Avengers have a Loki? was he demanded as a villain just as he was in Asgard?), claims he meant to make (I'm not the same as him), but all in due time.

another Loki on the pathway to evil; there wouldn't be much in the way of multiversal resonance if they hadn't been in the majority. ]

I'm more of a runner than a hider, really. [ he's taken trying to scoop up the last bit of tiramisu with his finger from the bottom of the cup. ] Unfortunately there's not many places to run to when you're tucked away in the pocket dimension with ALASTAIR officials rattling how they can't get you back.

So, here I am! [ he swings that finger in the air. ] And Loki it is—I can't get around it, and if we're being honest, I'd rather not. I like being me, as surprising as that may sound.

[ Loki takes the look with a casual grace that says that he's all too used to being glared at, snapped and the center of harsh japes.

during all his time here, the only semblance of anyone close to his version of home he had come into contact with had been Thor. it's for the better; when Loki did new starts, he didn't want the shadow of an old life on his heels. what was before him was something different: the preconceived notion of another self, someone else who hurt people. ]

The last time we—well, me and another you, or so I'm guessing—met, I was stealing a very important artifact from a SHIELD helicarrier. In a stunning display of my own spywork, I broke into Avenger's Tower. Other you caught me, blamed me, and was very firm with me.

You don't seem the same, so I thought I'd give the whole introductions thing a go. It only seemed polite.
