Loki let her see the pleased smile. "I'd have been quite disappointed in you if you didn't look for that angle." Said with a wink too. Shifting to hold his arms behind him, he paced a bit. "At this moment, I want the knowledge--which will be easiest to gain by helping you. Currently this Haage is an unknown as far as I'm concerned, and is a threat." Not simply to the humans. If Solomonic magic was involved, it was older than him. Relatively unknown on Asgard too.

Turning to her again, he was still smiling. Which probably wasn't reassuring. "Not that I would object to you owing me a favor as well."
