[ the short answer is that yes, it bothers him. it's more personal than Fitz could imagine. Loki had done a lot of things to keep his new reputation, including the erasure of certain crimes that were recorded in Asgard's tomes, loosening those damning bonds of expectation and allow him room to breathe, to change.
that hadn't turned out so well. instead, he had recklessly left gaps where there should have been words, and an old Loki from the future, one already damned, had written other things in their place. ]
It disturbs me. [ but maybe not for the reason that Fitz thinks. ] Yet I guarantee my past-life counterpart has done far worse. But I am who I am- I am Loki. I don't want to and can't be anyone else but Loki. That Loki is Loki as well.
It can't be avoided in this situation, but perhaps things can change.
