"Most vulnerable?" [Loki rolls his eyes.] Had I been mortal, younger self, Clint Barton would have succeeded and killed me. I know his capabilities well. But have I not already said that we are not invulnerable? It's quite obvious.

[His lips thin out to a displeased line.]

Senseless. [He makes a rude noise.] You are not in full possession of the facts. And you shan't be. [He is getting very tired of having what he does dismissed in this fashion, but at the same time, is it not more convenient? People tend to ignore what they dismiss and misunderstand. Or it means they are looking for actions which will not come, and that is very much to his advantage... most of the time. Still, it does get frustrating at times. He makes an annoyed sound.

He falls silent, though, at this next revelation.

He should be happy, he thinks, to know that at least in some time, Thor is dead. Perhaps this feeling is disappointment that he didn't get to see to that personally, do it with his own hands. What else could it be?

What else could it be, this strange, hollow feeling?

His expression is set in very careful, neutral lines when he next speaks.]

And how did you see to that, praytell?
