Maleficent looked at Eric dead in the eye as she heard Loki talking to her. She felt his grip on her wrist which held the knife. "My name's Eric", Eric spoke up as he rolled up his sleeve which revealed no tattoo like Thor. Maleficent's facial expression softened as she saw Eric show proof. "I'm sorry", she said softly as she pulled away. "After what has happened to us, I just felt vengeance upon myself. My apologies, Eric", she said to him.
