[It's downright bizarre in a way. To see Loki as a person. A normal-enough person, the madness stripped away. No half-crazed laughter, not two steps from exhaustion, not wild-eyed and calculating. He's just a guy.
A guy that lives in a tree in the center of all realities or something, but it's apparently made him come out the other side way more chill than Clint ever knew. That and his oddball temporal caseworker team that used to erase timelines and now protects them. For reasons.]
Is this your version of apologizing? [He wishes it came out snappier. Would an apology help? No. If he's honest with himself, it wouldn't mean a damn thing. It happened what feels like a lifetime ago, and he built himself back up, put himself back together, and moved on. Still, the idea that Loki would want to give helpful warnings to him is difficult to reconcile with.] Are all Lokis, you think, like you? Like you were, anyway. [Even a well-meaning Loki is still a Loki. And here Clint thought he has self-image issues.]
