Loki let her work it out, and watched her. Listening as well, before finishing preparing her tea. Picking up the cup, he came over and put a hand on her shoulder. Squeezing affectionately, before guiding her back to her seat.
"For all you are an adult in many ways, you are also still young and growing my friend. And you've been dealing, here, with things that older adults than you have trouble with." Keeping his tone and expression comforting, but not condescending at all. "Asgard acted as peacekeeper for the other 8 realms, and my sudden jaunt across the dregs of the universe was not the first time I'd traveled thankfully. Raised as I was, with Asgard's role, we also made it a point to learn about the other 8 and some of the realms beyond that. I had met people from a different 'time' only because of my own long life."
Once she was settled, then Loki'd take his seat on the floor again and was untroubled by it. She was friend and peer, student and ally. His friend and peer and student and ally, as she'd gotten a glimpse of. Which meant he would protect and do his best to care for her as well.
"In some ways, you can compare this place to what you know. There'd be no way not to, especially if they are all you know." The rest of the question though required some more thought and he took his time with it.
"Confusion is somewhat normal. I think it helps that I AM a trickster, and so I'm very used to adapting and making things up or working as they come at me. Plans I have need to be flexible, and so do I. But it's... That doesn't mean it can't be difficult. It can still be frustrating too."
