It would have been all too easy for Darcy to deny that anything Loki said had merit. Those who hid themselves under a guise of the bumbling fool or inanity usually tended towards denial when they were called out. Even if they longed for the recognition and accolades that revealing their true selves might bring them, it didn't make them any more likely to choose that option. After all, their disguises and banal existences were often more comfortable and safe than the great unknown of the truth, where to climb to loftier heights meant to risk a greater fall.
That she did not, that she rose to the challenge, only raised her in Loki's estimations. His smile hitched a little higher and he held out a hand towards her, palm upwards and long elegant fingers curled slightly up as if to invite her to take it. She held much of him in her hands, being the only one aware of his true identity now, but that just made this more throlling.
"Very well, I grow tired of the constraints of this charade I must play. Perhaps one night where both of our potentials may be released is in order."
He had not unleashed what he was capable of since he fell from the rainbow bridge, since he had destroyed the only way for Asgard to be connected to the other realms. He could have slipped into his own secret pathways at any time, but that could bring him risk of discovery, especially as all the other realms knew his face far better than Midgard.
"Tell me, Darcy, have you ever visited the country your people call Denmark? It is the closest connection your realm has to the old religions and my peo-- Asgard. Allow me to take you there and show you the places which meant so much to me as a youth. Do not fear, we shall return in time for your duties to resume come morning, when we shall both be transformed back to the banal lies we must live to survive here."
