Eric could not ever believe his ears as he heard Loki tell his story. It was his brother that he first loved. Eric couldn't believe it, Loki was played and he lost the one person in the world in order for Thor to get what he desires. The thought made Eric just want to confront his brother after what he did to Loki. But it seems Loki got to him first that night. But he did what was right. For him and Silena. For all the rage he has been in, he released on her. Then, guilty of his actions, he tried to reverse it. That was true love, Eric thought. "You and Silena shared something. That was true love. Just like you and your mother", he said to him softly as he brought a hand to wipe the tears. "Silena looked up to you as if you were her father. She never doubted it and she is proud of you of what you accomplished. That is true love that I see", he said with a reassuring smile. "Just know that she is always with you", Eric said before he moved a hair from Loki's face. He helped Loki stand, tucking him against his chest and into an embrace.
