That he'd given her the choice was also a sign of his own growth. Encouraged by Thor, but also those here who had shown him kindness and valued him positively. It...encouraged the good within him, the want to make his mother proud of him even if she was not there to tell him so. To make his own place, outside of the shadow of his elder brother or father. Small steps, but they were all adding up.

"Thank you, Eilowny. For believing in me." That hand stayed on her shoulder, but no longer was it formality and for binding. This was to be sure she was steady, and okay.

She felt steady enough and the anger was on its last legs. She nodded again. "You're welcome. Thank you for letting me share that. I thought I had gone mad when I started to recall it."

A lot of small steps could lead anywhere. Even out of a shadow, or away from an evil king. Or towards retribution, or redemption. She reached up and rested her hand over his, giving a more regular smile. "I'm starting to feel more like myself."

"Good. I rather enjoy who you are already and would not like to see that changed much." Holding that for a moment, and letting her hand rest. Letting the moment be felt, before it was broken gently as he moved to put away his notebook and pen once more.

"I wouldn't like that either." Eilonwy watched as Loki put the notebook and pen up and then finished her tea. "I'm glad you're taking things down. I need to update my own notebook. Just.. not right now."

She was too drained from all of the talking, and didn't want to try to dig the energy up.

"Mental and emotional exertions can be just as taxing as the physical. I'd recommend you rest. Have more to drink, have some solid but light food, and read or do something relaxing." She was a strong person, but even the strongest would find something like this draining.

"As much as the network isn't secure, use it if you need to contact me. Or visit. I'll start putting down notes for some basic techniques that will help lay a foundation for you to learn magic. As well as some questions for you about it."

All of it said as Loki packed up to take his leave.

wrap?

Eilonwy nodded and did what a good hostess would do. She followed after him and held the door open once he was ready to go. "I'll do all of that, then. Safe travels, and thank you."
