Truly, if Emerick had thrown himself at Loki’s feet, he likely would’ve lost a great deal of respect for him. Not that he had known him well enough for a lot of respect in the first place, but still. It wasn’t that Loki didn’t still come off as thinking himself superior, he often did think he was better than most others. He was raised as royalty after all, and he knew he had god-like powers but long gone were the days when he wanted people bowing at his feet. It really just made anyone who would seem pathetic.
“Yes, I suppose that could be a lot,” Loki replied thoughtfully. Honestly, he’d never really thought of it from the other person’s point of view before. Of course, the first time he’d really ever been to modern Earth he had been half insane and ready to conquer. What his conquests thought of speaking with a god had hardly mattered to him. “Well, you have nothing to fear from me. I wish you no harm.”
Really, Loki was actually quite impressed that Emerick was so honest with him. “I do not blame you for not believing me. I am well known as a liar and a trickster, after all. And though I assume this means nothing considering that, but I am not lying now.” He hoped that would be enough to calm the clearly tense man, but if he had to, he would perform some feat of magic if that would help.
“I see, has your world experienced some sort of catastrophic event then?” Loki was genuinely curious. The only world he’d ever experienced with that little plant life had been Jotunheim, but that was merely due to the climate. “Is it eternally winter there?” He considered what Emerick said and nodded. “I suppose that is true. This whole city could be some sort of experiment. Perhaps they figured out how to grow plants, but not mammals?” That was a disturbing thought, but one Loki thought had to be considered.
The most frustrating thing, Loki was finding, was that there seemed to be so many options as to what was actually happening here. It seemed everyone had a few ideas and all of them seemed possible. “I think I am most frustrated that all these possibilities are exactly that. Possible.”
