"Our benefactors." Loki answered after a moment. It was the truth, and would lead more interesting places than lying would currently. "From what I've gathered it's not a common role of those they give us for our services."

Supply-regulation and Hokori-Anderson told Loki only a bit more. None of their uniforms had ship-names, but it gave him what role the other played beyond just general crew. And a last name...probably Midgardian, although Hokori would not have sounded out of place in Vanaheim.

"Somehow I suspect you're not here resupplying for your ship, Hokori Son-of-Ander." Loki deliberately choose to use an older interpretation of the other's name. Testing a bit.
