Tony extended the invitation again, making no mention of Loki's earlier promise.
In his view, Loki was very likely to agree, so there was no need to leave the impression that he was demanding repayment for a favor.
Sure enough, faced with Tony's renewed invitation, Loki agreed without a moment's hesitation.

A cold glint flashed through Loki's eyes.
"As long as I live, they'll never know peace."
