Loki soon became very protective of his fearful little sister. He didn't want anyone or anything to upset her in any way. If something did upset her, then he would be there to reassure her that everything was going to be okay.
One night Loki was sleeping peacefully when he suddenly awoke to the sound of his door opening and then shutting again. He was too tired to question it at the moment, but before he could fall back asleep he heard somebody whispering his name.
"Loki…"
He opened his eyes only to see his little sister standing next to his bed.
"Adelaide…what do you want?" Loki mumbled, clearly not happy to be woken up.
"I…I had a nightmare…" Adelaide whimpered. "May I sleep in here, brother? Please?"
Despite how much he cared about her, Loki didn't really want his little sister sleeping in his room. What normal older sibling would? But he didn't want to upset her more by turning her away, nor did he want to walk her back to her room and sit with her until she fell asleep.
"Fine, but only this once." Loki sighed.
Adelaide nodded.
Loki moved over and Adelaide quickly crawled into bed with him.
"Goodnight Loki…" Adelaide said quietly before falling asleep.
"Goodnight Adelaide…" Loki replied before falling asleep himself.
Despite Loki saying that this would be the only time he would let Adelaide sleep in his room, it wasn't.
Adelaide began to rely on Loki for protection more than her own parents. While most children would probably go to their parents for comfort during a thunderstorm or after a nightmare, Adelaide would go to Loki.
And Loki never turned Adelaide away.
