[Steve's seen Loki face down the Avengers. He's seen him face down Thor. He's seen him face all manner of enemies. And right now? Right now is the most scared that Steve's ever seen him.

He keeps quiet, and just listens as Loki lets a little of it out.]

Ah, she sounds wonderful.

[There's a near sob inside Loki somewhere, and Steve makes a protesting sound in his own throat. He takes a chance, and slides an arm around Loki's thin shoulders. He'll move it if Loki goes tense for more than a second or so. If Loki turns into him, instead, then he'll gather him close.]

Hey. Hey, it's okay. She was your mother, and you're allowed to miss her. Promise.
