Shadow sipped his own drink. “What, gin?” he asked.
There was something different about Loki, something in the way he carried himself ... his words were different, too; subtly, but Shadow had been in the prison with him, after all, and even though a good portion of what Loki had told him then had been either an outright lie or a more subtle deception, he still had learned enough about the god to notice something off now. But he had no idea what it was.
Maybe dying changed a person. Shadow was pretty sure it had changed him, although he couldn’t remember it well enough to say how.
“Look,” he said finally, glancing up at Loki before returning to his gaze to the liquid in his glass. “About last time…”
What about last time? he asked himself. He wasn’t about to apologize to Loki (he was rather surprised he was managing to be civil now) and he certainly didn’t expect any sort of apology or concession from the god.

Shadow shrugged and took another sip of his gin.
