Maleficent watched the fairies as she smiled to see them fly. As she heard Loki's voice, she frowned before her eyes widened and that she turned slowly around to see him. She made a face of disbelief as she examined him. His facial appearance as well as his hair. She kept this face on as she raised her well manicured hand and traced it down the side of his face. "Loki?", she whispered before she used her other hand to mirror the actions of her other one. She sighed in happiness before a smile came to her. Her motherly love smile. "You made it, my son", she said softly with unshedded tears of joy. 

Eric watched in awe as he saw the scene before him. Was this the mother that Loki told him about? He made a couple of steps so he was in front of the group of dwarves to watch the pair before him.
