Loki gives her a long look, propping his chin elegantly on the heel of one hand as he swirls his wineglass with the other. "Tell me, Lady Romanoff. How many of your type do you suppose are in this city?"

"I won't tell you where this is from or how I obtained it. It is entirely your choice whether or not you wish to accept."

She can't say it satisfies her, but it is what it is. She opens the flask.
