Loki screamed in a mixture of outrage and fear when his tail caught fire and lashed out at himself even harder.

Gabriel's intervention made him hesitate in his attacks, but his only reply was a snarl.

Benefit of the doubt? So the Judeo-Christian wouldn't just despise him for his weakness, he actually considered his cancer a crime? There had to be a way to disprove him, but the only thing he could think of attempting was fast talking his way out.

To talk he had to be human, though and that would require him to shift and he had two reasons not to do that. The first and more important was that he was getting tired. His strength had lasted surprisingly long today and permitted a lot more shifts than he'd thought he could manage without collapsing, but now he was beginning to feel the strain. The next shift would probably cause him to collapse confirming Gabriel's andLoki's suspicions.

The other reason was that this shape was better equipped for the fight in case the other tried to burn him again. This he could even admit to, if anyone asked for an explanation.
