I am the better for it! I feel more myself than I have in an age. Though I believe my brothers in arms in the Avengers would prefer some warning in the future.
You will no doubt thrilled to hear of Stark's great dismay at your escape from his dungeon.
Thor, you're possibly the only person in any realm who doesn't doubt me. Your writer is rather more sensible, clearly. And the writers of that story were doing their best to put things in the worst light possible for much of the telling.
You would not be my brother if you did not come to my aid in the most diverse way possible. [Let's not mention that time you had him dress up as Frigga, shall we?]
I'd hate for my schemes to be predictable, after all. It must be said, though, you did take being stabbed awfully well. And I suppose I also owe you thanks for failing to inform your team of my intent to escape. I hope you didn't get into too much trouble for that one.
Since when have I not used every tool at my disposal? Assuming they haven't, in some way, completely incapacitated my ability to speak, as would be clever of them, then rest assured, I'd be asking. In fact, I could very well issue a blanket plea now, if you want.
As for the first, well, you should know me by now.
Nay, you are of a size now to look after yourself, for the most part. [not of an age to look after himself, because really- not that long ago you were half the size you are now.]
If you have need of me you need only ask and I shall do what I can... if I do not feel you are at the time safer in said dungeon.
I meant honestly that there may be times when you are safer locked away, from those who wish you harm and need to be taught to see reason. [At the end of his hammer.]
[He remembers the answer, although it was never addressed to him. He'd watched his younger self receive it, from a distance. He remembers gloating over it, still caught in old chains of thought at the time.
Not that he can tell Thor that, of course, or that he has very good reasons for trying to warn him, apparently unsuccessfully. There's still a lie between them, after all.]
I stand by the statement I made then, too. Well, never mind They do have perfectly good reasons to want to harm me, though. The old Loki cast a very long shadow, after all.

I hope you're still well after that momentary portrayal of spitted Yuletide hog?

Stark is more disconcerted that you were able to escape at all, even as we speak he is redesigning his dungeon to better imprison you.

You haven't been helping him with it, have you? That would be something of an unfair advantage on his part. Takes all the fun out of it, too.

[Of course, he'd have to ask first.]

[The second part is partly a lie. If Thor thought Loki needed rescuing, he wouldn't wait to be asked.]

[A small pause to word this next warning as an off-hand statement. If he must burn again, let it be a place where he can't set others alight.]
I assume, also, if you feel I've returned to rather more... malicious behaviour patterns, that also counts as a time you won't help me out.

But not so is Loki; his memory is long and full of shadow.
That Loki is still voicing doubt about himself sends a chilling vein of concern through Thor that he takes cares not to show.]
My answer has not changed, Loki.

Oh, very much so. Am I right to guess that he is trying to create a new way of holding me?
