[She's sees that look in his eye. Her lips form a thin line to prevent herself from making a sound and she reaches forward, almost lunging, to loosen the muzzle.]
[ Loki is tense. ...a bit nervous, perhaps. He clenches his jaw from behind the muzzle and he braces himself, her hands moving to loosen the device... spurring both a shudder and a sound. Moves a step closer, his fingers curling as he gently strokes her cheek. ]
[She grabs the hand on her cheek, holding it tightly. She reaches out her other arm, not touching him but clearly wanting to. She breathes out a heavy breath and squeezes his hand, staring at him with many questions in her eyes.]
[ ...and the chains do rattle, his trembling hand stilled only as hers moves atop it. Looks to her and apologizes. He had never intended to cause her so much pain, and it hurts to see her like this. His breath catches in his throat and his lips part, but just barely, as he calls to her. ] Mother...
[It warms her heart to be called as such. Part of her had feared that he would still not think of her as family and she had never been so glad to be wrong.]
[ He had never harbored any feelings of ill will toward her. No. ...throughout his childhood she had been nothing but caring, loving, and nurturing. His Brother and Father, on the other hand, ... ] I [ He wants to apologize to her, and only to her, but I'm sorry doesn't even begin to cover it. Instead, he moves an arm around her for a hug. ]
[ For a moment he's able to lose himself, ...his eyes closing as he revels in the warmth and comfort of her embrace. But he's snapped back all too suddenly, the metal of his chains grating his wrist and he realizes he could be hurting her... so he retreats a bit. ] I have missed you as well.
[ Finds that he cannot lie to her. gdi sentiment. ] ...we should enjoy the time we have now, Mother, as it's of the essence. I know not what the future holds, ... [ But the all Father does. He will be the one to pass judgement, after all. ]
[ It will do neither of them any good. There's not much to be done, but his Brother had suggested atonement. But he's no remorse for what he's done, only regret, ...and that's simply because he'd failed in his conquest. ] How... have you, the both of you, been? [ He's curious, as Thor had mentioned they'd mourned his passing. ]
[ Prevent this. Loki doesn't think it possible. It all started with his being taken from the frost laden lands of Jotenheim. He had been ostracized since the beginning for his differences and there was nothing that could possibly have changed that. ] ...what is done is done, and we've only the future now.
[ Bites his tongue for but a moment. ] Do you think the all Father will pass his judgement swiftly, ...or will I be made to rot while the deliberations are conducted?
[ Loki might have been about ready to run at the mouth tangentially, but he falls silent as soon as she shoots him that looks. ] I hope you are right, Mother.

I hope you will not have to miss me again.
[There's a question in her tone and worry in her eyes. She's hoping this will be the last time a child of her's will need to leave.]

I will try to speak with him.

An AU Loki, if it's not your thing then no worries.
[ He is entranced; he cannot take his eyes off of her. He missed her terribly. ]
