[ he just continues coloring, covering the cast in degrees of Loki decorative taste. he doesn't lift his gaze. ]
You saved lives, which, coincidentally, is very heroic. You're better for the ware, which is all a plus. This may have slowed you down for the time, but you're not out to the least.
[ he weighs those words and lifts the marker. ]
You did a good job. If someone hasn't told you that, I certainly will. There may be different degrees of gratitude, but you're in the company of a friend that will gladly cover your cast with his good taste. Tah-dah!
Or perhaps you're buttering me up so I can continue to let you take ownership over my cast. [It's not like she's batted him off yet, but she will when it comes to saving some free space. Billy still has every right to scribble something in there soon.]
Entirely. [ he says, waving his hand to her cast as if he's displaying the prize on a gameshow. ] All dressed up and ready to go.
[ Loki is way too proud of himself for comfort.
the cast is littered with the word "Loki," a bowl of noodles spouting two goats and a stick figure Thor in a chariot, bacon, and Ryan Gosling saying "Kate Bishop" with stars for "i"s all connected by a giant green rainbow. ]
[Kate observes the art carefully with the greatest amount of scrutiny she can apply to artwork that includes a stick figure Thor. The fact that there's a stick figure Thor makes her want to ask Loki about that, but she doesn't ask.
Strangely, they've never spoken about Thor. Then again, it's not like Kate ever mentions Susan. Of course, that's because she's never been that close to her sister.
Everyone knows of the turmoil between Thor and Loki.]
At least there's Ryan Gosling, [she finally says in a satisfied tone.]
[ better terms with Thor meant a lot of things, including both guilt and comfort. right now, it meant that there was an empty Thor-shaped hole in his heart. which meant that he got a space on Kate's cast. ]
Shining star and hero to us all. I thought he might brighten your day, simply by looking upon his divine, crudely drawn expression. The clouds of Asgardia part just to shine upon him.
[ almost as if he'd forgotten, he adds: ] Oh, I left a little place for Billy. [ see, thoughtful. ]

So I've been told. Yet you come out of it with a very festive looking cast. Not many can claim that.

You have a weird choice of times that you want to make into a "moment," Loki.
