"Fair enough." The mind and heart don't always agree, and Kirk can no more ignore the resemblance than Thor can change his face. It might be awkward, but better that than trying to avoid each other completely. No doubt the captain will get used to it, with enough exposure.

When he hears about why, however, Thor is torn between a measure of sympathy for those he's befriending, yet something resembling pride that Loki's making new friends at all. "Yes, he has a talent for that sort of thing."

Though it occurs to him that as long as they're getting things out in the open, there's something he should mention too. Just a small detail, but an important one. "You should probably also know that the Loki you've met is not from the same universe I call home. Either of him," he adds, because there are at least two, at this very party even. "Very similar, though. Almost identical. If not for his experiences here, which my Loki doesn't share, I might not've known."
