Hob is already plenty impressed. To be fair, it probably doesn't take much, but he does wonder what else Loki can do.

As Loki adjusts closer, the touch doesn't seem to bother Hob. He appears perfectly at ease with Loki's proximity, even when a bit of that contact remains due to their positioning.

Hearing that the object could teleport everyone home, despite it being inoperable at the moment, gives Hob a bit of hope. "It's too bad we can't... recharge it or something." It's probably not the same thing as a battery, Hob.

When Loki says it won't hurt him, Hob trusts that it's safe, so he nods, an eagerness in his eyes as he lifts both hands to accept the cube and discover it's texture, it's temperature, or if that blue glow will leave a gentle thrumming against his hands.

"It's... pretty. Such an unusual light."
