Loki debated what to do here. He could play the angry wild animal. Snarl and snap and be otherwise pissy, that would be absolutely easy. But at the same time the human was being gentle and wary and appropriately respectful. Maybe it wouldn't hurt things to play sweet.

Especially not if the mortal was going to be buttering him up with compliments, the little fox unable to help the way he preened at the commentary. Yes please do admire him Cricket, he is an absolutely lovely fox!
