Frigga waited outside for them and gave them time to talk. She didn't mind them to have a discussion. Even though she knows that it's none of her business. Maleficent looked at Loki's face as he mentioned what was bothering him. He was afraid to lose Eric. Maleficent should have known that his past with Thor was plaguing him, convincing him that his relationship with Eric could turn out to be the same. She knows for a fact that it wasn't going to happen. Not to him. Not to her. And not to Eric. She could fly throughout the Nine Realms to find Eric and tell him to come home. But that idea could make matters worse. "No, Loki. Eric would never do this to you. He will come back to you. It's just, he's been through a lot and he needed his exhale from it", she reassured him as she held his hand with her own. "I promise. He will", she whispered softly before she cupped his cheek to wipe any stray tears that would fall from his eyes.
