[Loki gets a short distance before Mjolnir knocks him clean off his feet to skid across the ground. When he does come to a stop, he doesn't get up, not right away. No, he's just taking a short rest break, and then he'll be up again. From the king to the ground in a day. But he'll get it back, hammer or no, Thor or no. He always does, eventually.]
Was that [Short cough, sitting up, one hand out in surrender.] strictly necessary? [The dagger flew from his grip when he was struck, and is lying a few feet away.]
