Re: LOKI
Stephen could've retorted with something very cruel, but he chose not to. If Loki was ever going to be rehabilitated, he had to be given a chance, and throwing past in his face wasn't going to make it better. Besides, Loki had just did him a favor with his emotions, Stephen wasn't about to undo whatever friendship they'd managed to build.
