Nothing could prove to Loki that Cassandra holds more power than he does, even if for the moment she is in control of his strength.

Ah, I see. You hope to train me, like a dog. To keep me content by letting me play with my weapons where they are as harmless as toys. To control when I am strong and to make me believe that sometimes is enough.

Fair enough, then. We shall play with these weapons, you and I. Wear your cowl, Cassandra, and I shall fight you as a hero would do.
[It's bold to challenge her, he knows, when he's got no magic and when she has the power to take more from him if he hurts her. But his aim isn't to hurt her: it's just to watch her as she hurts him.]
