"I have a theory," he says. "That while infinite worlds may well meet in a single Nexus, there also exist infinite versions of a Nexus, with all the implied variations in environment and inhabitants. It's possible that we've simply all landed in one where the pink-and-brown bipedal body type is the most prevalent, but there are others where that would be an oddity, and we might instead find more beings with six limbs and four eyes, or even creatures without form or fixed body type."

That's unrelated to anything Lexoris has been asking him, of course, but maybe Loki just felt like talking to fill the silence.

He laughs softly when asked why he's mistrusted. "I have a checkered past. I am known as the god of lies, or the god of mischief. Most of the humans here that know me know me as the person who attempted to conquer their planet, at the head of the Chitauri army."
