“Yes, I…” he trails off, shaking his head. He’s here to make sure Buggy is okay, not stress him out more with some of the things he’s heard. Likely he’ll tell him sometimes, when he actually has something to tell. He likes Buggy enough to keep him in the loop if he thinks it will help, but this is not the time for that.

Loki quirks a smile at him, but it’s tinged slightly with sadness. He’s made similar excuses about people in his life before himself. Not that he disagrees. He does not believe Shanks would have ever done such a thing if he had been in control of himself, but knowing that rarely helps with how one actually feels about the situation. That is something Loki is very familiar with.

“No, you are right. It was not truly him, and I am certain he feels terrible about the whole ordeal, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have the right to be upset. Trust me when I say it is rarely a good thing to suppress those feelings. They will only end up biting you in the ass at the most in opportune times.”

Like getting so angry that your attempt at taking over a planet has been thwarted that you throw someone out a window on a whim. Sad part is, he actually kind of liked Stark.
