[ Paul is quiet for a very, very long time. He knows it's far from okay. Knows it'll never be, not with them, but his knuckles are white from how hard he's gripping the counter.

Paul listens to Loki. He always will, even if it takes him time to come around. The moment stretches, Paul doing nothing but staring right back at Loki for what feels like a solid minute. Eventually, he speaks. ]
