The knock on the door doesn't startle Loki, but it does concern him. He doesn't go out much beyond shopping for necessities, and he certainly doesn't have any friends to randomly drop by. The rune engraved in the door glows green, showing the person on the other side doesn't have any overt ill-intentions against Loki, but that doesn't mean much.
The uneasy feeling lessens only slightly when he peers through the peephole and sees Barton on the other side. Despite the unease, there's a little flash of something more positive. His mind had been straying to the archer since he'd nursed his wounds, wondering what might have happened if...
He squashes those thoughts quickly when they arise.
Curiosity overtakes any self-preservation instinct he has, so he opens the door.
"To what do I owe this pleasant surprise? I thought you wanted to be rid of me?"
