[He's still catching his breath when the dagger plunges into her. Or perhaps "plunges" is too dramatic, but he's Loki and this is dramatic to him. He flinches slightly, not unused to violence but unused to... this. Whatever this is.
Thor was always firm when he protected him, almost regal. Intimidating too, but threats of honor and betrayal of Asgard, not this.
Loki wants to argue that the dagger was unnecessary. They have their magic, they have their intellect, and- isn't that exactly what got him into this situation?
So he doesn't. He just brushes himself off, and once they're gone, breathes out. The magpie explodes, making the scene bloodier than it actually was.]
I am fine.
[No gratefulness or hero worship here, sorry. Just wiping the magpie blood off his face.]
