"Loki, you're..." Thor couldn't even speak.
"Magnificent? A sight for sore eyes?" Loki smirks. "Come now, brother, do your words fail you upon seeing my gorgeous face once more?"
Thor ignores his words and just stands before he surges forward to attack him with a tight hug.
Loki huffs out a surprised breath from the way Thor is squeezing him. Anya watches, and a smile grows on her face. All her worries about Thor soon disappears.
Thor pulls away and Loki stands to face him. The older brother cups Loki's face as tears well in his eyes. Loki's cheeky behavior slowly fades once he sees the look of longingness and love in Thor's familiar eyes.
"Brother, you're alive." Thor grins so wide that the tears in his eyes look more prominent. "How can this be? I watched you d..." he stops and shakes his head. "No matter. It does not matter." Thor says before embracing him again.
A warmth spreads through Loki's body as he hugs his brother back. Thor has never hugged him this way before. It was as if he hasn't seen Loki in thousands of years, which could feel true as it were.
As Thor hugs his brother, Valkyrie glances at her drink and cringes. "What was in this wine?"
Anya rolls her eyes with a smile, shaking her head at Valkyrie. She has always been uncomfortable around familial affection.
Thor grins widely and Loki's worry disappears. For a moment, he forgot about the Multiversal war, or the fact that he is a variant. After believing that he will never see his brother again, Loki is in disbelief to be standing in front of Thor again. And instead of seeing disappointment in Thor's eyes, all he can see is admiration and longingness.
"Good to see you, Lackey."
Loki glances at the King and politely nods. "Your Highness."
Valkyrie raises her drink and gulps it down. "You look shorter than last I saw you."
"Sorry, we know one another?"
Thor gives him an odd look. "You do not recognize Valkyrie? All three of us fought together."
Loki glances at Anya and she sighs. "Thor, this Loki is from a different time. To him, New York was just a week ago."
Thor gapes at him and places a hand on his shoulder. "Then, you do not know what has happened?"
"No worries, brother, I am aware of everything I need to know."
"So, you know about mother?"
Loki averts his eyes and nods. "Yes."
"And father? Asgard? Our sister?"
"Yes. I know."
Thor looks relieved, since he did not have to break any news about all those tragedies. He looks at Anya, and she smiles weakly. "Then... you know about...?"
