[ If he looked Anastasia in the eyes, there was a clear sense of disconcert. More than anyone else, she didn't trust Loki and Peter to be able to accept this without repercussions. Being 'Ana' came with a cost, and that was the cost of power. She had to let it go or she couldn't have Will, but those who she'd already had struggles for power with would undoubtedly take advantage of any relinquish.
This was why Loki's approach was suspicious to her. Even if she was supposed to give up playing these types of games, she couldn't help but get the sense that she'd just gained a new opponent. Perhaps it was her own paranoia. Being used to everyone playing games with you once you've left the comfort of the one person you know won't made it hard to trust anyone at all, even the people you like.
The idea that he'd still treat her like she was above the rest even when she clearly just allowed him not to was something she didn't understand. That was why her expression fell for a moment. She didn't have friends. The idea that she could just trust him to not take advantage of this was only the smallest possibility. But maybe she should just see how things played out before she let herself fall into thinking that something bad would come to pass. If he was really willing to treat her just the same, she would be remiss to ruin that with her own hesitations. ]
Be my guest. Not like we both haven't been starved all day.
