"Yeah but the last Better-than-human I punched turned to solid ice and royally fucked me up when I tried. Unlike some people, I can learn from my mistakes." Not a jab at anyone in particular, just a simple statement of fact. The more gods and god-like entities Jim Kirk meets the more he has come to school his temper and his tongue as best as he can. It causes more harm than good to treat them like any other person more often than not.
It's a little bit satisfying to hear Loki admit Jim's got reason to be mad. Seems like the guy isn't incapable of understanding things form a human's point of view. That's...possibly a good thing? Too soon to tell.
"If the whole space and ship thing ever becomes an issue, let me know, by the way. That was a real offer." He's no mage or god but science and engineering are things he's pretty good at. In this place full of extraordinary people it pays dividends to have a niche to fill. That and it's an excuse not to answer the last question immediately. Gives Jim a moment to think.
"No don't...don't bother him about it. It's no fault of his and I'll get used to it eventually. Was the shock more than anything that hit hard." He doesn't like it, but he's dealt with worse.
