Loki was only slightly surprised, moving to adjust so she could hug him. Unsure for a moment, before he let himself hug back and lean against her. "As far as I know, my brother lives. So do half our people. " But Loki had been repressing a lot, and now... Well, it was a sign that he felt safe, and trusted Eilonwy, that he let himself hide against her for several moments. Not crying, but letting himself feel. Hopefully so he could get himself back under control.
