"I had no way of knowing you would be willing to listen with a fair mind." Gracious the Lady was and kind to his brother, but the extent of that graciousness and kindness was unknown to him. Just as he was an unknown to the Lady Rogue, such was she an unknown to him as well- where her loyalties lay aside from to his brother, how it was she saw the world. That she was willing to be fair, to listen? Spoke well of her.
Perhaps it had not been the most fair answer that he had given, offering a question in turn, but it was the simplest way he saw to either lay out how it was for Loki and he in their- in his home.
"We've a king that is wise and a queen that is fair." Royalty and family seemed the best place to start. "Odin has ruled Asgard in what he has seen to be the most just manner for as long as he has been King; our mother, Frigga, offers council and wisdom to him often. More often since we lost Loki."
Be it guilt or the uncovering of his lie that disturbed the All-Father so, he could not say. He had honestly never thought to ask. In retrospect perhaps he had been just as selfish as they in his supposed grief.
