Loki restrained himself from rolling his eyes and blasted one of the smaller creatures with his sceptre, "Katherine, now is not the ideal time for an ego boost. We'll talk after I am dead..." he did not have the patience to deal with her continued self-pitying tone. He could only boost her ego so many times before he got tired of it. He sighed in weariness but nodded at her apology. "It doesn't matter now. The shield here will last perhaps thirty minutes. If you need me, now would be the time to ask."
Listening intently, Loki's crystalline eyes warmed, "Where is this friend and how badly is she hurt? It will be a risk teleporting someone if their intestines are not inside them."
