❝ ... this is awkward. ❞
he’s frozen at the bottom of the staircase, a foot up one step. in the gloomy dark, the only illumination is from the moonlight creeping through the windows; there’s no hiding. Loki leans against the banister, one hand bracing his weight as he turns. – don’t be found out. he distinctly recalls that being said to him before he stepped through the time door (the orange glow of it fades behind him). too late for that.
he gestures in a manner meant to be comforting (or his best attempt at it, really) , all practiced, pleasant smiles, and quiet, lilting words.
❝ hello ! ❞
one hand sweeps out dramatically, gesturing vaguely into the distance. ❝ I'm here to help. if you haven't noticed -- ❞ there's a pause. (why was he sent alone, again? what a terrible idea. incredibly awful, in fact.) he's not actually entirely certain anything has happened yet, with the way the time door had behaved strangely while he was stepping through.
❝ there's someone determined to kill you all -- he may be here, already. ❞ Loki says; it's some off-beat assurance that it isn't him. ❝ from the future. ❞ a pause, and: ❝ well -- a future. there's quite a lot of them, actually. his isn't very pleasant. ❞ fantastic. an incredible explanation that certainly makes sense and offers assurance that he's not the one here to 'kill them all'. his bland smile is firmly in place.
