[Despite Reign’s attempt to not startle him, Loki does still jump slightly, but he quickly relaxes and takes Reign’s hand. Loki doesn’t care in the slightest about the others around them. Let them watch, and if they have a problem, Loki will happily put them in their place.

Loki has never been very good at holding back tears. He’s worn many masks in his life, tried to hide his true feelings from everyone, himself included, but when things get too much, he’s never been shy about crying. So, when Reign pulls him into a hug, he lets go. It’s not loud or necessarily obvious, but being so close, there should be no doubt to Reign that Loki is crying now.]

I’m so sorry this has happened. I know you must have been very close with him. [Loki’s voice is a whisper meant only for Reign as he holds him close, allowing Reign all the comfort he needs in return even has he takes comfort in return.] We are both still here, and I will do everything in my power to ensure neither of us, nor anyone else we care for, ends up like this.

[Probably something he shouldn’t promise, but Loki doesn’t want to think about what it would be like to see more of his friends like this.]
