Isn’t it just his luck that’s he’s run into one of the most observant people? Loki typically prides himself on staying hidden, of being able lurk and hide so that he sees what no one else does and can use it to his advantage. It seems with Gansey though, he may have met his match. Not that he would ever admit to that.

Loki is able to sense magic typically, but Gansey is so foreign to him, it’s muddled everything up. Likely he’ll blame it on being dragged to this place and that messing with him, but the truth is, other than knowing he’s different, Loki may not ever be able to figure out much beyond ‘different’ without more information. Perhaps if he could have figured it out, he might have been able to hide himself better, but that is not the current state of things for Loki.

“That is putting it mildly.” The bitterness of his tone only increases. If there is one time he cannot be bothered to even attempt at hiding his feelings, it’s in reference to his so-called father. He simply cannot contain his anger when he thinks of him. It’s a hurt that Loki does not know how to deal with.

The smile throws Loki off a bit, causing him to only nod in agreement at first. It seems there is nothing he can do to put this man off. Well, maybe not nothing, but Loki doesn’t want to try anything too extreme just yet. “People with narrow minds who are afraid of change, that’s who.”
