"A rather unfortunate turn of events. Thankfully, it was swiftly sorted out."
A shifty-eyed Loki sipped his own drink. He was finding Gamora to be good company. She was not only his favorite color, but seemed to possess quite a steadying presence. That must have helped when she was guarding a galaxy. That seemed taxing. It might be simpler to overthrow the galaxy and be a benevolent but firm ruler, as well as a promoter of fine arts. He had always been fond of music. And very large statues of himself.
"I am quite sorry to hear that." He noted her hesitation and didn't want to spoil the mood with further dire memories for either of them. "Perhaps some other time, we might share a tale or two of our deeds and misdeeds. On a night that is less celebratory than this."
He held out his drink to her in a toasting motion, with a hopeful smile.
