Syrena felt his kiss on her forehead as she continued to listen to his distress. No matter how beautiful she was, she was gentle and compassionate to the Jotun. She knew that Loki cared about her a lot and that she did as well in return. Not to mention that her bond with her sisters was rather cold. Even when she was in trouble in the weeds, the other mermaids retreated without any visible concern. So, basically, Syrena was lonely. Until she met him. Her only true friend. "Yes. Time", she echoed him with her soft voice. "There is answer. For all questions", she said simply to him. As she heard that he was going to leave, she gripped his wrist as if she didn't want him to go, to make her feel alone. She made a desperate expression on her face as she did so. Of course Syrena didn't want to, but it was only because he was her only friend. 

Maleficent, noticing her son beginning to leave, moved into the darkness of the fog that was near her hiding place, disappearing for her take flight back to the Hometree.
