Loki was not satisfied with the outcome. It was not that he had expected Shuu and Kaiden to agree with his proposal, but he had expected them to at least think about it a little bit before giving him an answer.
But they had both rejected him quickly, effectively cutting any connection he could have to them. He had also burned all the bridges he could have used to foster a close relationship with the pair.
"Ah, looks like I messed up badly. But somehow, I don't feel as hopeless as I expected to feel."
There was only one reason behind Loki's calmness and it was the fact that he was on the neutral side.
Knowing Astoria, she would make her move soon and she would make it impossible for anyone to stay out of the fight. So all Loki needed to do was wait for her to act and then take advantage of it.
The enemy of an enemy is a friend after all.
"I better make sure my people are safe and know to keep out of danger. Otherwise-"
