"Before the woman," she started, not leaning back, because personal space apparently meant nothing when Loki was the one invading it. "You knew the laws of magic, but didn't have it yourself?" He was clearly bitter about the woman, but that was an age old story. Loki knew it well. She knew a lot of stories well. She'd still end up asking eventually, though.
