"I'm a Trickster and a mage," he shrugs and gives a smile that's blended slyness and softness. "There are many things I can do that I rarely have cause to try, and it's wise for people to be cautious of me. But I'm always pleased to receive the benefit of the doubt."
Especially when he's offered kindness. To have it returned is reassuring.
"Some of the magic in my universe operates on the principle of as above; so below. In that vein, what happens to one small part of the world affects what happens to the cosmos. More to the salient point, what happens to one part of an individual--tears, clippings of hair, sometimes even their shadow--may affect the rest of them. Theoretically, I might be able to track your movements, or see what you see through your eyes, for a short while. But it might work very differently for you, since you're a species I haven't attempted magic on before."
Also, given Megatron's ability to sense energy, it might be super-obvious. But Loki isn't fully aware of that yet.
"I can imagine Ravage's reaction, now that you say that." Loki grins. He barely knows him yet, but he has enough of an impression to hazard a guess.
For a moment, Loki looks a little awkward, almost shy, but it passes quickly into a warm glance. "Thank you. I won't forget that offer. I have my brother, lovers and friends around me now, though few of them can relate to my experiences on quite this level. But the fewer excuses I have to feel isolated and misunderstood, the better for everyone, most especially myself."
