A loan that you're lucky she didn't use on either of us or you'd have cost me my best friend.
[ Not entirely true. Lydia acknowledges that she would have cost herself her best friend by agreeing to lie to her: that's not on Loki. But getting caught would be. Dammit, Loki. ]
It's more subtle than just the stabby stabby. Stabbing usually causes pain that sends most to the hospital. I'd trust her NOT to do that.
[ he's reckless and self-destructive, but there are times his guilt either carries him by the seat of his pants or saves him. it's a little of both in this situation. ]
This was all to make sure she doesn't get hurt. After that file leak, if she were to be implemented in this gianormous cartel to such a grand scale that would make the History Channel- well, that would require us to cook up a scheme for the ages. From my trips to the market, the tabloids aren't kind, and nor are our increasingly tyrannical captors.
[ mmmmmaybe he's feeling kind of shitty about it too, but he was at a loss. what else were you supposed to do with someone who wouldn't listen? ]
I'm not mad. But if you're going to do something stupid, I'd rather hear about it from you. Especially if it's something I need to be ready to just go along with to keep up a ruse.
[ that's not yelling, it's not accusation, it's far worse! it's civil and makes him feel bad. ]
Ah- yes, I'm still getting used to this. [ welcome to his reckless behavior. ]
That's one scenario. Another is that she finds someone associated who's dim enough to fall for the "cut yourself with this sword, it'll make you tell the truth" jazz. Eventually it'll end on him.
It's already leading there. They've discussed it, and you can guess what happened. Oodles of paranoia.
[ Something nags at the back of her mind, a panic instinct that makes her cling onto hope that she won't find herself regretting this (all of it—from lying to Skye, to being with Loki in the first place). She pushes it down. ]
[ with a hint of self-depreciating mirth that she definitely can't see. ]
Well, I'm not lying.
We'll concern ourselves with it when the time comes. There are things that I trust about Skye that'll make this ok. We'll throw a party so big that she won't be able to stay mad. Balloons, unicorns, petting zoo, I'll even make mash for it.

That wasn't a gift, it was a loan. A surprise loan.
[ one that he didn't plan on making, but that happened all the less. ]
A helpful loan.
[ he's helping. ]

Are you hoping she'll use it on Jesse?

But it might save her, too.
All we can do is brace for impact.

We'll skip the petting zoo.
But I do have a recipe for mash I need to try out. You, me, mash & wine.

You know, I have peppermint vanilla bubble bath.
