Eric made a sigh of guilt before he noticed Loki turn to face him with a face that was far away from being happy. Hearing him with a very, very unhappy tone, Eric felt guilt in himself. "I didn't want you to become involved", he admitted honestly after a moment of silent. "I lost you once. I didn't wanna lose you again", Eric said as he stroked Loki's hair with a hand. "I'm so sorry. I really am", he admitted being kissing him on the forehead.
