"I ... I remember a ... book," Loki said slowly and looked around. Ah yes, there it was. In his hand. "So I like to trick people? Yes, I think I do. And I like books."

He was pretty sure there were more things he liked, but right now he couldn't remember what they were. Maybe he'd remember later when he'd forgotten the book and Ruby War.

"I think I like you, too," he stated. "I don't want to forget you again."
