"Half correct." As the girl approached, she seemed more familiar, but Loki was equally increasingly sure that if he'd ever seen her before it was in passing only, at the Inn. How odd.
Less odd was her tension as she approached. If he'd been inclined to bet or had anyone nearby to bet with, he'd have put money (or goldfish) down on 'powerfully suppressing flight reflex after it dropkicked fight'. That was, in Loki's view, an entirely appropriate response to him, even if she'd used the wrong title twice over. "Just Loki, though. I'm not inclined to fight formality from more than one person at a time, and you're too late to be that person."
