[ she doesn't know loki super well, but he's always been kind to her. nice, non-judgmental, a good listener. she still remembers him painting her nails and listening to her vent about damon when they were in new tokyo. ]
i haven't been able to sleep very well, though. i keep thinking i'm hearing someone break in.
[ which isn't happening, but brothels aren't inherently quiet places. ]
[ Loki likes it that way—he doesn't like anyone knowing him too well, as there's some level of vulnerability there. all anyone needs to know is that he's craft and charming, and given the opportunity, might mess people up. ]
You've got some good hands on your side. I doubt anything would happen could get past them.
[ he has faith in Jason, a lot of faith. ]
That probably doesn't sound too promising right now.
[ oh, by Ymir's frozen balls, Caroline. Loki stares at the words for half a second before he feels tired, and old, and he thought he was over feeling old. ]
Come on now. What are you going to do? Go around and try to prove that to everyone until you're blue in the face? A fine testament of loneliness. You have people that care, it does no one any service to prove to them something that they already know.
[ it couples with a few things: his own urgency to prove himself better than he had been, Jason's hard work and caring poured into something, and the mess that they find themselves in. he's not very sympathetic to Caroline's own eagerness to prove herself. ]
i'm not going around trying to prove anything. i got kidnapped, loki, it's not like i sat around picking fights — and just like last time, nobody came for me.
at least this time, i got myself out. i couldn't do that before.
[ because the gang members didn't have vervain water bottles & wooden bullets. but they didn't know they needed them, either. she wonders what this world's whispered mythology might infer about how to fight her. ]
That's not exactly the circumstances that I'm talking about. The context is far, far bigger, and cannot be left unintended.
[ he's a little vague, but he hopes she gets the gist so he doesn't have to come outright and say it. Jason's working hard, and he's got a decent idea of his own obligations. ]

That you can send messages at all is a good sign, I take it.

i can take care of myself.
[ she proved that, didn't she? she got out of a bad situation and solved it all on her own. she didn't need anybody to rescue her. ]
