Re: LOKI
It was a relief that Loki choose not to interrogate any further. For just a little while, Stephen hoped to forget his worries, problems waiting for him in the future back home, and responsibilities.
Upon feeling Loki's touch Stephen closed his eyes, but his smile was a response to what Loki said. He wanted to reply something along the lines of You can ask Allison about my affable side, but decided against it because even in his own mind that sounded too bitter, and it might bring up a topic that would spoil their conversation.
"Hmmmm... yes, I'd say these are pretty good circumstances. Could be better, though. It's not often I get the chance. It's always one thing or the other happening. I might say the same about you, too."
