It broke her heart to see Loki like this. His reaction to her requests, how he did so in fear. Silena examined the scars and bruises on his back. Her heart felt heavy for Loki and now for anyone who may have been treated by cruel people who abused their power. 

The princess got to work with gentle hands. She applied some ointment to the bruises that were more recent, then to the ones that were healing. When she was done, Silena put the supplies away before looking to Loki. She hated the rules. She saw no need to avoid eye contact when anyone spoke no matter the position. 

She cupped Loki's cheek and guided him to look at her. "Please look at me Loki." Her voice broke and gentle. "No one can punish you while I am here." She continued. If he were to look at her, tears would be running down her cheeks.
