Luckily for Loki, what happened when she and Richard had spoken had in fact reminded her of her place: and how it was and wasn't. Yes, Richard loves Coralee and some part of him always would, however he loves her too. And it was clear in the differences in the way that Richard would have responded to Warren taking her, versus how he responded when Coralee Was taken. If she was, and Warren wasn't just lying. So Alex just takes a drink with a little shrug. "Sometimes you need to be, I guess."
