"How is he, by the way?" Krolock asked, with a faint chuckle.

"He's very well, thanks to Loki," she said sharply. "On reflection, I think I'd better go-"

"I promise, you are quite safe here," he said dismissively.

He was asking her, right out. No awkward preamble and no need to decide if she went into his house or not - she had to take the shot he'd given her.
"Loki only came here because of me," she said, pushing the words out too quickly. Or rather, it seemed that way in her head, because they otherwise wanted to come out at a halting pace. She felt dizzy. "After we- I went back home and I was wreck. He honestly thought I had been raped before I told him. I didn't want to see you again. Loki didn't want me to have to - to have to tell you myself. He said he would take care of it. I don't know what he told you - but everything's my fault, everything got out of hand because - I'm cowardly, I'm unkind, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sure you hate me now. That would be easier-"

"Yes - of course I do - "
Something did chip through the terrible fog in her mind and she said it before she could forget it again.
"You fed on me!"
