Her gaze snaps up at the sound, her expression shuttering. She feels exposed. He would have seen her control strain; she's not used to the vulnerability that comes with that.

She's avoided feeding at all cost. When she's succumbed, it's been for cold blood bags. Loki's method, whatever it is, is significantly less unpleasant.

"Thank you," she says neutrally, hiding her discomfort.

She does know better. And she knows he saw more than she intended for him too. The taste of blood had weakened her normal self-control.

"I'm trying to watch what I eat."

The change in his expression makes her skin crawl. She lifts her chin slightly, setting the goblet aside. "Maybe I'm just not the type to overindulge."

"Is that so?" She doesn't try not to sound skeptical, though there's no real venom in it. She's just not the kind of person who can do that—control has been too thoroughly trained into her. She can't just let this drive her.

Taking what little she does is bad enough.

She's killed plenty of people already. She doesn't intend to do it now, not because she's lost control, but that fact makes his warning sit on her oddly. It's not like she can claim to be an innocent.

"I'm not going to lose control. This is part of not losing control."

"And you're trying to help me out of the goodness of your heart?" She doesn't believe that for a moment. If he wants to gloat, he might as well get it out of his system.

"That doesn't answer my question though. Why?"

Her nostrils flare slightly as he pours, instinctively looking for signs of more blood. Even the infamous Black Widow can't tamp down every involuntary reaction.

That stung. He'd seen her hunger more than once now when he shouldn't have seen it at all. "Did you invite me here just to laugh at me?"

She takes it, though she doesn't open it yet to confirm its contents. Loki has secrets. No one could be surprised by that.

"Will you tell me something else then?"
