She said he was not disturbing them, and Loki hoped that was true - it would only be natural for her, or anyone, to be alarmed by his uninvited presence at such a strange hour. Especially given that she had children to take care of, and the appearance of someone - even an ally - could make such things less appealing, especially at weird hours. Still, he was not going to question her - if she decided not to allow it to bother her, he was simply going to be grateful, and carry on, unless she said otherwise.
>"Nothing's urgently wrong as in we're not all going to die tomorrow morning but there is definitely something wrong, or nothing's urgently wrong as in something is wrong but it can wait and fester for a while? Because that was possibly the most awkward choice of wording you've ever used."
Loki's smile, as he took the seat she offered, was genuine - if still slightly halting and sheepish; it was not entirely common for someone to call him on his lies, or his half-truths. He should perhaps have been more upset about it - being questioned on this, of all things, only made everything else far more complicated - and he was not totally pleased that he now had to weave his way out of this, but there were few people who would actually question him on such things, in this sort of way - not accusing him of lies, not acting as if he were a threat because he concealed things, simply inquiring. Not allowing him to slip things past her unless she chose to. It was one of the reasons why he found Emma's company pleasant; she reminded him, in a strange sort of way, of his mother.
"It is... the latter, I suppose," he responded, after a moment, settling more comfortably on the edge of the chair, folding his hands in his lap and dropping his eyes to them. "I just wanted to be sure everything was all right. Not that it would not be. I just-" It was far more complicated, trying to be honest without being able to do so. Mixing truths and lies was always a matter of perfect balance, or complete failure; right now, he was failing rather spectacularly. "It is not something I can explain," he added, then, his apologetic tone blending seamlessly with the serious, the do not argue here that was half plea and half command.
