He'd expound upon the premise, but Loki's fur is poofing up, and he assumes that means the same thing for stoats as it does for cats. He blinks and goes still as he plants paws on his chin, considers shaking his head no, but doesn't, so as not to tip Loki off his perch.
"Not really," he says. "Was a little scared. They busted in the front door while I was making tea, and I threw the kettle at 'em. I think that made 'em mad, so they chased me into the bedroom, and broke that door when I locked it."
"But, y'know, I keep a revolver and a rifle. Just out of habit? Rifle's in the car, but I had the other, so I shot at 'em when they busted through."
He looks down, not because he's ashamed or because he expects Loki to be shocked he's capable of violence in self-defense, but is is still a pretty intense memory. "Almost killed the one. The other ran off, but I think I winged him, too. They didn't lay a hand on me."
