[ So merit enough to Alastair, in that they were true believers. Natasha felt surprisingly little distaste for the fact that she shared in a skeptical look that answered Loki's snort in equal part. They were in agreement, which was and wasn't comforting. She wasn't looking for comfort, though; just answers. That, she hoped, made it a non-issue. ]

At least their goals include throwing a good party. [ Her tone was too wry to find genuine ease in the statement, lifting her dessert as if it tokenized the whole experience. She allowed herself to look away from him then, in favor of scanning the crowd. ] If your world has a Tony Stark, then I should warn you that mine showed up when I did. [ Her head canted to the side in consideration of why it elicited a warning. ] He didn't much care for your doppelgänger either.

[ Thinking of Tony, of the world, under any kind of possessive umbrella of hers was an odd thing, but she didn't linger too long on it before looking back at Loki. The forewarning was peace-making, an act of gratitude in exchange for the information he'd given her. ]

Enjoy the party.

[ For Natasha's part, she needed time to think—about whether or not she believed him, about the points he'd brought up, about a lot of things—and that meant disengaging the confusing mess while she still couldn't decide what to make of it. She nodded to him before moving past to disappear into the crowd. ]
