Maleficent tipped up her head as she listened to Loki's story. After he finished, she gave him a smile. She held his hands gently. "A good companion means a good friend", she said to him until she leaned down and kissed him on the forehead. Honestly, Loki was Maleficent's companion. Obviously, as her son. A second protector. He would do well with a new friend. She knew that he had plenty of friends here in the forest but one that was Asgardian was enough. At least Loki trusted him. The young boy seemed polite around Loki. But she swore to watch over them time to time. "I will watch you both. You have my word", she promised him as she leaned soothed her fingers on Loki's hands.
