They may not have seen Loki blush like this before. In his ivory-skinned form, he turns pink with a touch of lilac, and smiles at the ground for a moment. "I'm not sure," he says quietly, "whether you realize how good it is to hear that I have done something good purely by following my own instincts and being true to my nature. Thank you."
Soundwave, he imagines, will grasp what he means at once. He's spoken to him about his own fears regarding his darker nature. It's still there; he's not meant to be a nice god, but he is meant to be a valued aspect of the universe as a whole, and good to those who are good to him. That's enough.
Tonight, it's more than enough; it's a cause for joy.
Viridian hugging him is unexpected and makes him give a soft squeak of surprise; then he laughs and bonks his forehead against hers gently. "You have time for everything," he assures her. "To make friends and choices aplenty."
He beams at Soundwave's invitation and nods. "Tonight, there is no invitation to dance that I would refuse, but yours is a special honor."
