Welp, bandwagon ahoy!

[uncompromise]

In case you hadn't noticed, I'm not a big fan of the whole "under someone else's control" thing. Been there, done that. Even if all the other guys up here vouch for you, you're gonna have to prove it's not just talk.

-Still. I can't exactly fault you on your taste. Let's get this show on the road then, mun.

[It was Clint Barton who detonated the arrow. Clint Barton who's been hurling insults and projectiles (and explosives) in Loki's direction all this time. The person who opens his eyes and sits up isn't Clint Barton. Not entirely. It's all in the eyes, after all.]

Sir?

[instigating]

[ Sits on his haunches, taking his hand back as Clint awakens. Pleased doesn't even begin to describe this feeling. ] ah, [ Loki all but purrs, lips tightening and pulling his smile just a bit broader. ]

It's good to have you back. [ He would never admit this to anybody, least of all to himself, but there came a strange comfort from knowing that Barton had his back... his actions just as devious as his own probably because he'd be directing them, but still. ]

I had taken a look at you before and found nary but scratch or two. [ Bit of frostbite, maybe. ] But how do you feel, ...are you... [ Never thought he'd hear these words leave his mouth, but he must ensure his merchandise is in the best of condition. ] alright?

[He blinks. Looks down at his right hand. Flexes it a few times. The joints are stiff from cold, but they should be fine given time. Maybe that little voice in the back of his head that's swearing will go away, too. -Oh. Right. He looks up and shrugs.]

Feeling fine, sir. Nothing I can't handle. Give me some credit here; they trained me well. It takes more than that to kill me.

[ He waits for his answer before rising. ] Good. [ Back to being somewhat indifferent. But at that, Barton's quip, he can't help but smile. ] ...and for that I am glad. Let's go. [ He turns, offering no help to the other as he strides to the door. ] ...you're to rest up, heal, and then we've a few debts to collect... and I'm afraid the interest has grown exponentially.

[clippedwing]

Understood. [He climbs to his feet. Huh. Odd. His left leg feels a little weak. Almost like it doesn't want to work. It fades once he shakes it a few times. Probably just fell asleep from the cold.] Just say the word. They'll never know what hit them.

[instigating]

[ He's not noticed this, but oblivious as he is Loki knows that he needs to be considerably more careful with his pawn. ] No, they won't. [ Stifles a chuckle. ] ...and they'll not be forgetting either.
