Given it was Christmas and the routine for such an occasion was gift-giving, Thor bought a little something for Loki as well. They did not really celebrate, but after agreeing to start things in Preya on a lighter note, it seemed like a good direction.
What also helped move things in a lovely direction was the various beverages offered at the mini-bar in his dining area. There was alcoholic and non-alcoholic alike, Thor wanting to offer plenty for his brother to choose from. He already poured a glass of sparkling cider for himself, something he never truly had much of. Simply buying it to offer to guests, he humored the idea of drinking it and made a face upon the first sip. Not quite what he thought it would be like, but decent enough he supposed.
Hearing the door, he placed the glass down on the table and even offered a smile when he saw his brother. "Hello, Loki," Thor moved back, waving towards the couch just inside the living area. "Please, make yourself comfortable. It's good to see you."
