"Gas?" His brow furrowed faintly at that, but he could surely find out more about that later. It sounded like that wasn't how the thing worked anyways, the mention of other energy just confirming 'magic' in his mind. And if Loki was a god as he claimed, surely powering a miniature oven like that with magic would be a trivial thing...
He was honestly a little torn- sheer habit meant that he should focus on his food, on eating what he could before someone decided to interrupt him to harass him, or cut mealtime short just because there was something more to be done. And there was enough of that in his posture- he clearly had some table manners, but the body language on display was a defensive sort of slouch more than anything even if he wasn't entirely aware he was doing it. The only shift from the duck of his head, definitely meant to keep from making eye contact with potential tablemates, being the way yellow eyes lifted to sneak glances at Loki. Both curious about the man himself and desperately curious about his magic all at the same time. It wasn't like he had many chances to see spellcasters of any stripe at work after all.
