It's irritating when he remembers, once again, that while he knows Thor very well, Thor also knows him. Especially this Thor, the observant one who actually succeeds in deceiving him and keeping his thoughts hidden. Loki stops and turns, and he lifts his chin and folds his arms as if that will make better what he's going to say.

"I went to the well. This so-called wishing well that's been discussed, I wanted to see it for myself. It seems the rumors are true," he says stiffly. "It does grant wishes. Even wishes one doesn't realize he's making. Even without tasting of the water."

He has to look away, staring at the wall so he doesn't need to see the look on Thor's face when he adds, "I had been thinking of Midgard and idly wished I knew what it was like to be one of them."
