“I do not forget,” she said stiffly. “But you had no right. To come here and expect our customs to align with yours, no right at all. I do not forget your history, and I do not forget your actions.”
“I know. Mortals tend to not forget anything that causes devastation to a country.” He let out a sigh and smirked. “I do not ask for your forgiveness nor do I care if I get it. What’s done is done. Nothing you do will change the past. The best thing to do is move forward and get on with your life.”
“Who said anything about forgiveness? Or changing the past? I’m interested in changing the future, and that means making sure you or someone like you can never do that again.”
“Even if they had,” she snapped, “You /killed/ /Coulson/. Death isn’t /casual/ here, trickster god. And as far as I can tell, you don’t even have any regret for what you did then.”
“I killed him because he stood in my way. If he didn’t he’d still be alive. I did what I had to do. There are always casualties in everything! You’re forgetting that I come from a place were deaths in battle are not cared for at all. Even if it is done in an act of war,” he retorted back. “I don’t regret my actions and I have learnt from my mistakes. I do not plan to bring harm to Midgard for a while.
“I do not forget,” she said stiffly. “But you had no right. To come here and expect our customs to align with yours, no right at all. I do not forget your history, and I do not forget your actions.”
“There are a lot of people around here with a reason not to like you. Some of them are my /friends/.”
“Name a few for me then. I’m curious to know who doesn’t like me.”
She laughed in his face. “Try about half of SHIELD. You can’t mindcontrol the lot of them and expect to be liked, you idiot.”
He stayed silent for a moment. “I thought most of them died.”
“Even if they had,” she snapped, “You /killed/ /Coulson/. Death isn’t /casual/ here, trickster god. And as far as I can tell, you don’t even have any regret for what you did then.”
She raised both brows at him. “Is that because you cheat? Because I don’t know that Barton likes you that much right now.”
“I don’t cheat. I rarely do. I see an opportunity for something then I take it.” He’s silent as a moment as he looks at her. “Okay..Everyone bar Barton and the people I mind controlled.”
“There are a lot of people around here with a reason not to like you. Some of them are my /friends/.”
