"I've at least one certain enemy here, possibly two." Thor's status depended quite a bit on when he was from; Loki had learned early that people came from different points in time. A Thor from before Jotunheim would be a very different proposition than a Thor from New York. Either instance of New York. "I never claim to be benevolent, but I intend no malevolence." Currently, anyway. "I'm simply being practical. My chances improve the more information I have, and I gather information more effectively if I'm not actively defending myself."
