[Loki doesn't back away. Doesn't lift his hands to block the punch thrown. Instead he merely closes his eyes and lets the blow connect.
Normally it would be nothing, barely worth his notice, but the Barge had drained his strength and Tony... has a decent right hook.
The blow connects, and his head snaps to the side. Blood wells in his mouth, and at some point his hand has moved up to grip hold of Tony's wrist, on the hand that's knotted in the fabric of his clothes. It takes him a moment to shut down the instinct to retaliate, but he does it. The hand drops back down to his side, and he turns to look back at Tony, wordlessly.
His expression is pained, but resolute. He's not here to make any excuses or ask for forgiveness, and if Tony needs to hit him again, then it's not as if he's going to stop him.]
action!
