"Usually, they are. They are here in case someone breaks in to harm us. They're also here in case someone loses control. But right now, they're malfunctioning and they seem to think we're the enemy here." He explained, trying to keep his voice level. If he could just project that emotion to her through his speech, even just a little, they'd make progress.
He watched the dome go up and worried she was closing off further. However, she began to pull back and that helped ease his mind some. "See? You're doing it. Not to worry. I'll help you clean all this up and--" In the background, one of the frozen turrets had shifted munitions. It's projectiles were frozen, but Elsa wasn't its target. It charged that energy beam, but as it discharged, the sheet of ice that kept the barrel of its weapon clogged scattered the beam in several directions. Unfortunately, some of the beam still hit Loki squarely in the back, piercing clean through his barrier of magic.
Loki pitched forward with the impact. His barrier vanished and the casual clothing he wore dispersed, leaving him in his Asgardian attire. Fortunately, since her ice had fractured the beam, it hadn't hit him with the full effect, leaving him only partially numb and still conscious. He tried to hit the drone with a telekinetic burst of magic, but his magic was gone.
He caught himself against her protective dome of ice. "...just keep focusing. Enslave your magic, don't let it enslave you." He fought to keep that calm tone to his voice.
