Loki's smile deepens, darkens, and he gives the slightest inclination of his head. "I did not expect you to show." Not entirely, though he knows he'd have been disappointed if she didn't.
For the uncharacteristic lack of spine, if nothing else.
So he's quite glad she is here now, as much as her presence sets his teeth on edge. It always has. Loki wonders how many are in the shadows, watching them, watching him. He wonders if Barton is there.
There are ways to know for sure, but he doesn't test them. No, they'll reveal themselves in time, if they are there. And if they are not, well. He's not so foolish as to think Romanoff is harmless. She is like one of his favoured blades, honed and sharp. Dangerous. It is what fascinates him.
