"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."
"I was ready to." Murmured quietly. "As much as I hate to give him credit, Thor was wiser in this than I. We fought over it." Physically fought as well as with words.
"Winning was not the goal." Then he's tilting his head to watch her. "Briefly, but it was never serious. Even more so than my usual casualness. Personally I believe she ever had eyes for Thor, though she did not recognize it at the time."
"I never harbored any illusion she might." Loki said with a soft chuckle. "And I agree with you. I think it's part of why she's been spending more time here. Especially since Asgard itself is no more."
"As long as it's not a double date. They might be figuring things out on their own, however." Loki had caught hints of certain things. A look, here or there. A lot of time spent in each other's company. "All that might be is for them to decide it's official."

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