[ Ah. He's starting to get it now. Kakashi raises an eyebrow slightly. ]

Is that so.

[ Sort of deadpan.

If there is an "entire coterie" of people waiting for Loki to do something wrong, then that means the god most likely has done something worthy of such watchfulness, no different than the way Kakashi treated Pain and Konan when they were still in the Luceti enclosure. Of course, being locked in an enclosure makes being choosy with alliances a little more difficult, especially when certain skills are needed for a particular cause.

And in this case, it most certainly is true that they all share a common enemy. ]

Is there anything else you'd like to tell me.

[ Flatly. ]
