[This is really new territory for Thor: having someone actually talk through this sort of thing with him. His mother certainly hadn't tried to make him go talk to Loki when he didn't want to (when his brother was rightfully imprisoned and the idea of going to see him made Thor cold inside) and by the time Thor made his way back to the Avengers, Loki had been 'dead'. All he had said was that Loki was gone, then carried on as best he could. No need to discuss any friction or fractures.

What Katara's saying now makes sense. In fact, it's how he prefers to do things himself. Directly. It isn't the easiest thing in the world when Loki insists on twisting in the wind and turning matters around until they bite back. Yet Thor knows he had also stormed out of that conversation early rather than let his disappointment echo around the halls.

It's with all this in mind that Thor listens to Katara intently, a crease between his brows all the while. He has to smirk a bit at the idea of ambushing Loki while he's ill, because no doubt that would pin the other man down effectively.]

He couldn't run, but I would probably get a knife thrown at me for the effort. [Thor says that lightly though, as though it's not really a concern.] You may be right. That's something we do need to discuss again.
