Eilonwy had another quick drink of her tea. "It's.. It wouldn't be kind of me to reduce what happened to 'it was still traveling', so I'm not going to do that." she said simply. The headache wasn't fully gone but the tea was noticeably helping along with the mental shields.
With a faint smile at the sudden compliment storm, Eilonwy fell quiet for a moment. "I'm proud of myself!" she assured him, "But my strength comes from my character as much as it comes from my title. A leader needs to know when to use their heart along with their head." She giggled suddenly. "Even if there's telepathy involved. Your compliments are very kind, Loki, and honestly something I did need to hear."
The cup was warming her hands and Eilonwy shifted her position very slightly to make sure the heat was somewhat evenly distributed.
"I'm not surprised by your strength either--" a beat. "No, that's completely not true. I'm very surprised by your physical and magical strengths. But not by your emotional strength at all."
