That made him chuckle. "From everything I've shown you of what Asgard was like, why would you expect us not to be functional and aesthetically pleasing?"
If she wasn't reaching for him, he was often reaching for her, when they were private. Using his other hand, Loki brought another illusion up. Showing her a view of the dungeons, and shifting the viewpoint so she could see from inside a cell. It was all dark stone or sterile white and gold. Loki's cell had only been 'comfortable' because of Frigga's intervention.
"They did. Though mine was made more comfortable, thanks to Mother's intervention." His next statement had a dry quality to it. "Apparently, she was the only reason I lived."
He adjusts automatically as she moves, before sliding his arms around her as she settles. "...I would too." Sadly, he wouldn't have that chance. "I found out she perished, while I was in the dungeons. I'm free, because Thor sought my aid in having our revenge, and in his saving Dr. Foster."
"I do wonder about you sometimes, Sweetling." Teasing, with a fond smile. "You occasionally show a bloodthirsty side." But I would worry if you didn't have layers.
"You don't talk about your family much." Loki observed, still stroking her hair and cheek. "And I would understand if you didn't want to." Considering his own family troubles?
"I...bespelled Odin, to take his place. Sent him to what I thought was a good place here in New York." It seemed important she know, although normally he wouldn't confess to such a thing.
"I tried to make it so. Of course, at some point it had been demolished in the 4 years between my visits. At some point Father broke the spell, and had moved to Norway. To Tønsberg, actually." The town that had become New Asgard.

Given that she will never get to meet Frigga because of it.
