Regardless of who had told what, he hadn't taken it well. Loki retrieved another bottle from the now-somewhat-smaller pile, opened it, and poured some down his throat. Partly out of a sense of having fallen behind, yes, but also because it seemed that 'bad idea' was coming to be the theme of this very depressing party.
"That's putting it extremely mildly. Crummy!" Where Thor was slurred, Loki just relaxed - as tells went, it meant he was well on his way to legitimately drunk. "D'you know, up until this actual conversation I sort of thought he'd picked me up out of some Father-y need to control his own death. You know? Pick up a monster nobody's using, train it just right, then unleash it when convenient. Sell tickets ahead of time or something. Except he'd already done that long before either of us was even born. So it turns out I'm very pointless." That was the kind of funny thought that probably wouldn't be, later.
