Loki can see it, on Mobius' face, the fact that he's managed to talk circles around being in a time loop for an uncountable number of centuries. He doesn't want to be direct about it, because being direct means coming face to face with the feeling that he was outsmarted and outplayed, that there were no options other than letting the wrong person win or personal forfeiture.

Which, for the record, was the option he chose at the time. The him that didn't know/remember/experience Thedas.

The Loki that remains here is glad it's not likely to come up again as something he has to do (hopefully).

He watches Mobius breathe through it. Hears but only halfway pays attention to the things Mobius says along with that bit of breathing exercise - not because it's unimportant, but because what Mobius says with his body might be moreso.

Mobius' body says this won't be easy. Loki agrees.

"Okay." A beat. "Sorry for the odd staring."
