That sounds like yes.

[ even if it might be uncomfortable—he doesn't say he understands, but he does. ]

You'll never have the full plan.
Certainly you must've come to that conclusion.

[fledges]

Unfortunately, yes.

[selfimage]

Then you need to work with it.

[fledges]

This isn't great advice, Loki.

[selfimage]

It's pragmatic advice.
Flexibility is the key here.

[fledges]

So what are you going to do, then?

[selfimage]

Be my slimy, skeezy, no-good self.
But somehow keep everyone from dying.

[fledges]

Are you going to let me in on your slimy, skeezy, no one dies plans?

[selfimage]

I don't think you'd like the fine print around "no one."

[fledges]

I'd love it if you all stopped telling me what I'm not going to like.

[selfimage]

I'm Loki, Kate, do you think anyone ever likes what I'm planning?
Besides, it's a work in progress.

[fledges]

But you have an idea, because you always have ideas.
Spill.

If I were her, I'd be expecting retaliation.
So, what would you do if someone was expecting you to do something?

[fledges]

If I were Maeda?
I'd lock myself down and stay protected. Maybe bring in backup if I thought it was going to be bad. And it would be easy to use an attack as an excuse to retaliate more severely this time.

[selfimage]

Or, if you could, use it as bait.
None of the above is exactly a good opportunity for much.

[fledges]

Do you think Jason will consider that?

[selfimage]

Furious would be a light term for what Jason is right now.
I'm not certain what he would consider.

[ as in, he's too chaotic right now for Loki to 100% pinpoint, even if he has a hunch. ]
