Raphael was silent, staring down at his empty cup and considering Joe's words. Here was one of the men - a human that saved his life. The internal war raging within him for their place in his mind finally lead to a sigh of frustration. "I should go," he said, rising to his feet. He turned to Loki. "Thank you for the company. And Joe..."
He turned to the human at the bar, his expression nearly unreadable. "Thank you for everything. I would not have been here to insult the human race were it not for you finding me out there." The gratitude in his words were genuine, as well as the guilt of what he had spoken. Still, images of blood and guns and a dead corpse continued to haunt him and he longed to believe that humankind was not as hopeless as he felt.

"Thank you," he whispered again, smiling gently.
