Hob can see Loki is a little in his own thoughts, but he's sure Loki will realize just how much he's trusted soon enough if he doesn't already. It's hard not to let one's mind wander when they think of home, though.

Being cautious is just a part of life for Hob and that's not going to change, even if it's changing a bit while he's here. He doesn't expect things to be different if he ever gets home.

"I never considered that might be the case." But their stories paint gods as immortal beings, not simply those with longevity. "It must be difficult sometimes. Trying to get along with people for thousands of years." God knows Hob has had some trouble getting along with Dream and that was only after a few hundred years.
