I believe you deserve a spot. I feel like mutant means more than just the genetics, even if it's a defining factor in some cases. We're outcasts except among our own, and you're not exactly welcome among your birth people, are you?

[The Jotun he means, of course.]

And so long as you're here, you're not a dying child. So don't even throw that around. We're allies. That doesn't mean I can, or should, force my will on other mutants. That's not how we work.

[David gives him a look that say he's not so certain he believes Loki, but he's giving the guy the benefit of the doubt.]

Alright then. You're welcome to spend all the time here you want while it's my room. Do you mind if I step out for a moment and grab a shower? I think if you're hungry I have some Mexican take out in the fridge.

[Which hadn't been eaten directly out of, but someone had clearly taken small cuts of each item and eaten them separately. Part of showing off different foods to Balthier.]
