[He knew Billy was coming. He...just didn't feel like getting up. But Loki realizes that level of laziness isn't the norm for him. So when Billy lets himself in, he does rise to his feet, and he smiles, and it's back to being All Right.
Funny how, in Luceti Valley, being All Right was a thing that almost killed him. Well, he's not a mortal in reality, and he's far stronger than that. He just does his best to forget that when Tony finally had managed to badger him into admitting he wasn't all right, it had felt...good, in a way. Or not so much good as a profound relief. But that kind of pathetic breakdown was not useful in any sense at the moment, and he has far too much pride.]
Good evening, Billy. I'd wondered if we'd be doing this tonight.
I've made coffee if you'd like some.
[Loki doesn't look bad so much as just...off. It takes more than a week of not eating properly or sleeping for someone as durable as him to really show it. But the signs of fatigue are there for the careful observer, the lack of feeling behind his expressions, and the strain showing in the set of his shoulders.]
[Action, August 19] apparently you get some more anyway!
