Loki scowls at the soldier. "Getting away may be your primary goal, but it should not be. Rather, the goal should be to get away and make sure whoever has done this is unable to do so again. You may have your train to protect you after you escape, but the rest of us do not. If we are returned to where we came from, what is to stop the entity from kidnapping us again? And then they will be even more prepared for your interference and another rescue will be that much more difficult. No, we need to break their power. Whether by negotiation, exile, death, or some other manner, we cannot leave this entity be."

He's more appreciative when he turns to Conan. "All of that will likely be useful. For the spy, and for anyone who might be sent in to rescue them, should things go wrong."
