"There's a difference between empathy and sympathy," she agrees. "Although you might be surprised at who you have something in common with around here." She's thinking of Thor as an example, how both she and the deity have lived through an apocalypse, but then it dawns on her that she has that in common with Loki as well. She doesn't comment, though. Maybe it's something they can talk about another time, if he feels like it.
She nods morosely when he says the spirit's name, then pales and tugs at her windbreaker uneasily, pulling it tighter around her. "I'd never ask you to get involved," she says sincerely. "Honestly, I... I think if there was a point he and I could talk about it, we're beyond that."
Besides, the very thought gives her middle school flashbacks. There's hurt in her down-turned gaze as she thinks about her former friendship, disappointment and grief and even a touch of outrage, but she blinks all that way, refocusing on Loki with clear eyes. "Thanks for saying so," she says, smiling a little. "I'll try not to get hung up what happened before."
