It had been a quiet day so far. Of the various large sticks made by breaking down Thor's tree-gift, three were still in the room, but Loki had only paid real attention to one: by far the ugliest branch from the tree even if it was one of the oldest. He'd been entirely wrapped up in it, all senses tuned to see the staff inside the branch while working to bring it out.
That was why it took the absence of a closing door after Valkyrie opened it to jerk his attention back into the room, and why his senses were open enough to catch Bo's energy at a distance. Bo was familiar, more than familiar right now - he'd seen her use her power and experienced it used on him more than enough that even at a distance he could sense it.
Not directed at him. Valkyrie hadn't gotten a chance to leave.
He put his not-staff-yet aside and moved to the door quickly to see the two women with their hands entwined and in time to catch Valkyrie's question. "Quite powerful magic. And touch-based, so...." He gestured at their hands, then smiled at Bo and converted the gesture to a beckon to her. Come over here. (As always, her power was insidious, even with screens up it was almost impossible to resist wanting her closer.) "Hunting in my hallway, Bo? I'm hurt."
