Something about Steve getting protective over him? It was nice in some way, and did serve to make Loki feel a bit better, a little more secure. And he had to admit, the man did have a point. Better the club know and keep the guy from sinking claws into anyone else like this.
"It'd take more than this to embarrass me." And really if he'd wanted to completely keep Steve away from this he'd never have opened the gates by showing up the first time anyways. "He's just... perceptive. Skimmed things until he found the ones that were sensitive and then honed in on them pretty pointedly. Nothing I haven't told myself a million times, not that it helped much in that situation."
