Loki doesn't outright point out that Damian is pouting, but he does reach over to take one of his hands in a sympathetic and likely brief gesture, "it'll be fun, nothing more or less than that...well, unless of course you start to miss seeing my face and you feel an uncharacteristic itch to ask me out on another date. Then we'll have to renegotiate!"

If a rematch is the motivation Damian needs for Loki to continue to annoy him into friendship status then Loki will continue to come up with competitive ideas. He doesn't have many people he'd call friend, after all, and anyone who is not someone that he knows, someone who would judge him for what he's done rather than who he is...well that's like a breath of fresh air.

"Somehow, I knew you would feel that way," if he hasn't been swatted away already Loki will lever himself to his feet and stretch, "due to no talent for reading people, you're competitive energy is one you put out there."

And for a moment Loki did frown, quite possibly one of the few serious expressions in his arsenal. Loki already took advantage of that competitive edge to win a date for himself and as talented as Damian is and perhaps hardened by his own life experiences, there's a purity about him as well.

Not everyone was harmless fun in the way that Loki was (unless he had to be otherwise).

Letting the frown slide back to an easy expression he braced his hands against the table leaning in with one of his patented smiles sliding in to replace it, "as a god who is not a god...and not terribly unique...can I trouble you a little further Damian?"
