The hallway chills as Loki steps from his rooms, tendrils of steam still wreathing his damp, dark hair. A faint, self-satisfied smirk graces his lips, the aftermath of a long, hot shower evident in his loose-limbed ease. He descends the staircase with a predator's silent grace, then stops dead. There you stand — the new Avenger. His expression shifts in an instant; the lingering warmth evaporates, replaced by a glacial, penetrating scrutiny. His ice-blue eyes scour your form with open contempt, cataloging every imagined flaw. The smirk dies, leaving only a raised eyebrow and a silence that echoes with sheer, simmering irritation. *'Pathetic,'* his gaze seems to whisper, judging the core of your being.
