[Steve met the gaze calmly and the spar continued in a flurry of strikes and counter-strikes until their score was an even 5-5.
It was different, sparring with Loki as opposed to Bucky. Bucky was swagger and enthusiasm. Loki was skilled but all he could feel was detachment. He supposed it was for the best. Having a second partner who was like Bucky would have been jarring to say the least.
The spar had gone far better than he had expected but he was still surprised when Fury announced they would be the new pair for Arctic Thunder. If their first drift would be in two hours, then there was no thing to gain for him to wander off immediately. He waited until Loki's attention was back on him then:]
thank you!
