Truthfully, his quietness concerned her. In as long as she had known him, falling quiet was never a sign of good things. He had such a tendency to get caught inside his own mind, ruminating over things that had happened and slights that had crossed him, or at least what he had perceived to be slights against him. Then again, considering how people tended to jump to conclusion based on his behaviour, she supposed that it was not all his own mind assuming the worst. Still, it was best to make sure he did not get so caught up in it, that only lead to the worst for him and she did not want that for him - who could want that for someone they cared so much about?

"I have heard from Napi, recently." It was a fairly safe topic, all things considered. Napi had stopped going by Chief a few decades ago, though he still admitted a fondness for the nickname. They didn't often meet - he preferred to stay out of the limelight as much as she had - but they kept in contact. The rise of the internet had worked wonders for doing such things. "He's in Australia currently, enjoying the good weather. He sends his best wishes."

She hoped that talking about their mutual friend would remove Loki from the topic she assumed he was ruminating over. She was very tempted to smack Bruce - a good man, but he could be so thoughtless in his actions. All of the Avengers could, when she thought on it. While relations between Loki and Thor had improved, his brother's teammates could not so easily understand Loki's nature and it angered her. Surely they were aware that the more you treated someone as the villain, the more likely they were to simply become that villain?

Diana was not going to let that happen here. No, not if she could help it.
