[The magic Jason has to put someone to sleep is raw and untested. But right now, he can't help but wonder if he can use it upon a god. His gaze sweeps between the larger man and the smaller one, trying to calculate the situation. What he knows is this: real or unreal, this larger man is taking him as an unknown variable. That much is important.

The unsettling part is how much he looks like Loki. The eyes are just as bright and green, and his nose is the same. But he's older and more gaunt, like the unhappy ending to a story.]

Guys like us don't become anything else. But we were busy quoting our Shakespeare, so why don't you buzz off? We've got a production to put on. [With the absence of himself, Jason feels confident and clear-headed.

He has a few plans in motion, and he just has to see which one he should utilize.]
