Uriel did look Loki in the eye. And, while she was at it, she slipped a dagger into her hand and pointed it at the said eyes. "You're just begging for trouble, aren't you?" she asked with an almost pleasant voice, the tip of the dagger about half an inch from one of the god's eyes. "How would you like being a bit more like Odin? Maybe then you'll actually come up with something witty."

Of course she had no intention of actually doing anything, but Loki was getting on her nerves. The god was obviously doing his best to make Ellie and Destruction understand just what her 'delicate condition' was even though he couldn't say it aloud without feeling Odin's wrath.
