Loki hears her words and one eyebrow arches in expression as he gazes at her. It is a nugget of truth he does not normally expect from the demigoddess. The surprise on his face is evident as he does not try to disguise it. "Diana..." He sighed, lowering his voice and making it softer for her. He could, when he needed to, have compassion. He just chose to hide it very well.
Anything else he was going to say was cut off by the ringing of her phone. He too frowned, watching her answer the phone. When he realized it was Banner on the other end of the line, his anger grew.
Bruce Banner. Hulk. Pain in the... Loki had finally been able to come to an understanding with the good doctor when he'd been on the ship with Thor, Bruce and Valkyrie. That did not mean he had to like the man, though. Bruce, who clearly had more than just feelings of respect for Diana. The annoying Midgardian had asked about her, at length, on the refugee ship when Thor had mentioned that Loki would be leaving with her while he had waited for her to arrive.
Loki was proud of himself for not killing Bruce in front of his brother.
A small smirk painted his face as he stepped up behind Diana, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her close, as if in a lovers embrace. "Hello, Banner. We are a bit busy right now," Loki purred over her shoulder, loud enough that Bruce could hear him. "Busy being wrong again about technology that may attempt to take over your planet? Why are you calling?"
One hand moved up and down Diana's side, invading her space like he knew nobody else would ever be able to get away with. It was only to get close to the phone. Honest...
