Loki smiled when his mother took his hands and kissed his forehead, taking her words to heart. He too thought of Maleficent as a companion, but obviously as his mother too. Loki brightened up and smiled bigger as Maleficent had given her word to protect him and Thor. Loki gave his mother a big hug, a small version of a bear hug basically. "Thank you mother!" He told her gleefully. He couldn't wait to see Thor again.
