Loki chuckled, looking a bit sheepish. “it’s hard to remember that I can have as much as I want sometimes.” he admitted. “the people of asgard eat mostly meat… tough meat that’s hard to digest full of fat and grease. There was never enough lean meat or fish to go around and I was never the one who got to eat it. Such things where meat for the women.” he admitted. “I spent most of my days sick or starving… I’ve become so used to it that… I forget that earth has all the things I could want.” no wonder Loki had such a fetish for Sushi.<br/><br/>“your not a dick to Steph. Not really. You have your fights but that’s more because your both so stubborn.” he admitted, shaking his head as he accepted the handkerchief and used it to wipe his eyes. “i’m sorry. I’m not usually so…” moody, emotional... hormonal… “i’m… still getting used to the idea.” Loki admitted. “I keep waiting for you to start asking me… to start using me and then you never did and you never do and I’m not sure how to handle that. Finding out that you actually liked me… despite the things I’ve done… despite what I am… it’s…” Loki looked at him, eyes glistening wetly, but he’d gotten himself under control. More or less. “it’s new, I’m not sure how to handle it yet. I will though.” he admitted. “because I like this and…” he paused, swallowing hard. “and because I deserve to be liked…” it was something Steph had told him over and over. He deserved to have good things like friends and enough food. He didn’t have to EARN basic human kindness. Looked like Loki was finally starting to believe her and Johnny. “there’s the flower shop.” Loki said, blinking as he finished wiping his eyes. “thank you for being my friend.”
