Strange chuckled dryly at her remark:]

Yeah, well I admit I just didn't want to have my ass handed over by the God of Thunder. Plus they were interrupting my precious training time.

[He added with a sarcastic tone, his mind going back to Wong's lesson about the Infinity Stones. It couldn't be a coincidence that so many of them six had found their way to Earth at one point or another. Indeed, Loki was far at the back of his list of possible threat to their universe.

He raised his glass at her words.]

Here, here. That conceited ass called me a second-rate sorcerer. [He said, giving Jessica a fake pout, before his lips turned upward in a smile that he was obviously trying to contain.] I don't think my ego has recovered yet from that. I really should have gone with the portable toilet, in hindsight.

[Stephen drank another sip and gave Jessica an amused look:]

What about you? I mean, beside playing corseted Valley girl for a rich client? Although, I'm curious to hear more about that, too.
