( maybe jane never actually did thor's work, but thor didn't deny it, and that's as good as an admission in loki's mind. it's odd, but lately whenever he thinks about thor and jane together his chest gets tight in a way it never used to — or at least, in a way it hasn't in a long, long time. he might have had a crush on thor once — who hasn't? — but when it became clear that thor only saw him as a friend, loki extinguished that flame.
was he chagrined when thor chose jane, who was almost as unlikely a fit as loki himself? maybe a little. but he told himself that feeling didn't mean anything. he was just annoyed, as any friend would be, when thor started spending more time with her than with him. and now that the opportunity has presented itself, he's getting back at jane for that and for all of the other slights she's ever inflicted upon him in the years since they'd become rivals.
he looks at the question thor indicates, and his mouth forms a flat line. in all fairness, it is one of the more complicated ones on the page. but loki won't tell thor that. he takes thor's pencil, flips to a blank notebook page, and rewrites the equation. he mouths the numbers and letters as he does so, an unconscious habit.
then, he explains, in the simplest terms possible, how to crack the equation. afterwards, he turns to thor. ) Make sense?
