Loki walked around the Asgardian palace searching for Alexis, able to feel she needed comfort. Eventually drawn to where she sat, crying on the floor of the isolated balcony. Upon finding her, he sat on the ground beside her, attempting to put an arm around her to comfort her. Alexis, however, flinched back from him and moved as far away from him as was possible, unintentionally cornering herself.
Loki moved over to her again, and watched how she seemed to try to back even further into the wall behind her. This time, kneeling in front of her, he reached out to remove her hair from her eyes. She lashed out at him but he caught her hand by the wrist, smirking ever so slightly, muttering a soft, "tsk, tsk"
He reached forward again and gently brushed her hair from her face, not allowing her to hide from him. He placed a crooked finger under her chin and gently tilted her head up so he could see her eyes. He gasped in shock as he saw the damage the other God had caused to his beloved's face. A dark purple bruise coloured under her right eye and down her cheek where endless tears now glistened. Loki hovered his hand over her injured face, looking at her in a pained way as she flinched back from his touch yet again. When he spoke, his voice was soft, reassuring. "I won't hurt you, love…I'm just going to heal you, is that alright?".
Not waiting for her reply he again hovered his hand over her injured cheek and his hand began to glow a subtle blue colour. Her injury healed quickly under his sorcery, but her tears continued to fall as she touched her own face in disbelief. Loki backed away slightly and she gazed up at him, an unintelligible emotion in her eyes as she looked at Loki, "Thankyou…" Loki smiled and gave her an encouraging nod in reply and began to get up, "No, please," she began and he stopped, looking at her intently, a soft smile gracing his lips. "Please, don't…don't go…" Loki looked at her curiously for a moment. "Please…don't leave me…" her whispered plea sounded so pained and scared to him that he knew he couldn't have left her even if he'd tried.
"I promise." Loki replied solemnly, once again seating himself on the ground beside her. "We won't move until you're ready. I won't leave you alone…I promise."
This time she let him put a comforting arm around her. This time she curled herself close to his body. This time she wrapped her arms around him and buried her crying eyes into his chest whilst he enfolded his arms around her further, allowed him to comfort her. This time, she allowed herself…to feel.
