I see.

She'll find someone else to approach, then. Someone else who's close to the eyes she wants on her.

She'll dismiss you as a target as if it never happened.

I don't forget things so easily.

Is she really deserving of your revenge?

I do have a reputation to keep.

Hm. I'm not sure I see where this benefits you.

After all, you've already embarrassed her, and left her running in shame.

She's not worth more than that.

If she returns she'll see more than just my knife in her back.

[ that's about as close as he'll get to a compromise. ]

[It's a harsh statement. It's one that doesn't ... sit well with him, not in the least.

This is not the same caring Loki who brought him down from one of his more manic episodes.]

Let's make a wager, then.

If I'm right, and she never returns out of shame, you owe me another favor. Not one already included in the beginning of this conversation.

I'll pay the same to you. Unless you'd like something more than a nebulous ask.

You want two. Capitalizing, aren't you?
Fine.

Loki always pays, anyway.

I would think that you'd appreciate my ability to take advantage of what's available to me.

For now, I suppose.
Though Loki owing a debt is a precarious as owing one to Loki. I'm sure you understand.

[He understands on multiple levels. For a moment, he's reminded of Shido.

This isn't a good thing.]

Then perhaps you should consider the risk in me making this wager.
