Loki smirked, and wasn't offended. "I didn't think you'd like that option any more than my placing a shield on you." The smirk left though, as he relaxed from his crossed arms. Although they remained up, and his right fidgeted with his left. "Depending on who paid attention, or how much weight they gave it, that last post on Sleepr outed that yes--I have mental magics. The 'taking over someone's mind' it alluded too was years ago and required a special weapon I do not have access to anymore." A pause. "I'd prefer those who do know I am familiar with things like memory modification to remain small however." In other words, he was trusting Gold to be responsible with the information.
"...I have no reason to share that information with anyone." Even if it were helpful he imagined he would sooner offer to someone that Loki might know a solution or be able to point them to someone else. Since they were recommending each other for things lately.
A nod, as Loki understood everything Gold wasn't saying with that statement as well. "I shall leave you to your shield building then, unless there's more?" More he could do, more Gold wished to share. "Oh, the dream sharing works with others too--you may find yourself in their dreams."
Loki shook his head at the thanks, but smiled and chuckled a little. "Oh it's one of my many 'flaws'--asking questions and poking at things. But you're welcome all the same. I'll take my leave now." Loki figured that Gold would rather be done now with this whole thing. "This all works better, by the way, if you control when you sleep and not let exhaustion take you." Meaning don't 'not-sleep' Gold.
Gold was a stubborn man and he therefore felt the immediate, intense desire to do exactly that -- not sleep -- purely to assert himself. But he also saw logic in what he was saying. "There will be far less of that now that the plants and animals are behaving themselves, I assure you."
Loki was gambling that Gold would be more inclined to use common sense and logic. "Let's hope so." He murmured, before showing himself out and leaving Gold be.

Sarcasm from him? No. Surely not.
"Thank you. For your discretion, for your advice. I suppose for asking the right questions."
