Loki could live with being standoffish, and even then he wasn't always. He was private. Part of why he had the same servants too, whom he did know the names of and treat, if not kindly, politely and professionally. For all that he was a prince, he also was fairly tidy and not that demanding in many ways.
"Whatever you want, Sweetling." Her comfort was his chief concern for now. Now that she was safe.
"You'd have to live with Eric's appearance for a bit, depending on how private or not we are." But his mind was already turning with ideas. Not least of which this might be advantageous in drawing out their enemies.
"I can, although I've not do so often casually." Loki gave a soft little laugh. "Depending on how well known we become, I've plans to retire Eric. It means I'd have to have certain affairs put in your name though."
"Calmer. Though I have ideas and plans. And you safe, which is....what is most important to me." He was still a tangled knot of emotions, but he was starting to unravel it.
That brings an impish smile. "I truly meant sleeping, Sweetling. You are not weak, or fragile, but I also recognize you have been through an ordeal." Kissing her forehead again, he rested his head against hers. "One which I very much wish to make those responsible pay. But sadly my revenge may have to be less personal than I'm accustomed to."
Loki was quiet, and kissed her forehead again. "...and you still trust me. And aren't angry." He sounded puzzled. "You are mine to protect, and I failed you."

It's not as if anything about her is untrustworthy, especially where Loki is concerned.
