I have it covered.

[ he says with a little smile, and now that the groceries are properly put away, he heads over to get some glasses because they're talking about Kitty. talking about Kitty means they need wine. ]

Did you hit her in the face with your bluntness, Kate Bishop?

[selfequipped]

[ Loki pops the cork easily, fills the glass half full and slides it her way. ]

She has a single-minded goal that's been keeping her distracted.

[ he says with a knowing smile as he helps himself. ]

[selfequipped]

Apparently she can handle both Mandrake and ... everything else. She's coming on the trip. [Once the wine is pushed over, she gratefully grabs it, taking a sniff—some habits are hard to break—before she takes a grateful sip.]

She invited herself? She seems to do a lot of that.

[selfequipped]

Worse than the time she decided to replan a party, actually, but here we are, and she might be helpful. [Kate has her doubts, but.]

It's almost as if she hadn't learned her lesson during that battle.

[ if Lydia was anything, she was fierce. ]

[selfequipped]

I don't think she learns lessons, [she says irritably.]
