[Puck adjusted himself to where he could kiss the top of Loki's head.] Kind is too small of a word, but it is kind, and doesn't go unnoticed. Another treasure to care for. On the same hand, I'm also sorry you were hurt. Neither of those should have happened to us, but.. [He lifted his shoulders in a quick shrug.] But unfortunately they did. Like I said before, take your time figuring out all of this. [He gave a playful smile] Fae can live for centuries if they're smart enough; and I'll wait as long as I need to.
[But the tone was.. Not forced. Puck did mean what he said, but Puck was also struggling. Revisiting Avalon as a whole, even just mentally, had shaken him pretty deeply. Puck fell quiet and pulled Loki back into being held. He steadied his breathing and let his eyes close for a moment.]
