[ Especially when she keeps being given reminders of her. She spares a long look at her chest of belongings, wherein lies the flute she received as a gift. ]
I try to distract myself. To live despite my longing for her. I think of how she would tease me for missing her, and choose to go about my life how she would want me to.
I already do all of that, it doesn't help. [ He never expected to ache for the genuine friendship of Verity so much. The pal-parade of the Avengers is estranging on purpose and also by accident, exacerbated by Loki's living conditions. He should definitely move out soon. ] I think I've substituted her company with Stark's.
Then you have already proceeded farther than I have. Short of pleading with the portal to bring your lost one here, I dio not know what more there is for you to do.
...It is hard, to live without the ones we love. But somehow we must do it anyway.

What I mean is, she's very grounded. Imagining a possible escape route from her problems via feeling displaced isn't something she would do, or could do, or even accept as possible.
It's complicated. [ When he doesn't want to spill Verity's secrets, anyway.
Flopping on his sofa, he rubs his eyes and faces the fact he can't lie to himself no matter how sweet the distraction of Tony's company is. ]
I don't want to form an attachment to Stark, he won't stick around like she did.
[ Angela considers her words carefully before speaking, knowing Loki will heed what she says. ]
I do not think it is healthy or right to think of Stark as a replacement for your friend. [ Is she a friend? Or does Loki feel for her the way Angela feels for Sera? She isn't sure. ] You must approach the two separately, and not let one relationship cloud or tarnish the other. There is nothing wrong with forming an attachment to Stark, knowing that it will not last. You simply must enter with that knowledge, and let the relationship be what it is.
[ Silent and pensive as she speaks, a hum is her answer as Loki picks at his tshirt with intense concentration. ]
I should tell him, then? I don't ... I don't want to lie about any part of this.
[ He much prefers it these days when he can be honest with those closest to him, recognising that Verity's lie detection has all but trained him for the better. Eager to be the person she respected. ]
Angela! I ... I both admire and fear for you. Luckily, I know a necromancer who can stop any undead from attacking you should Hela try and launch an attack here, if ever she arrives. 'Cos she would.

Thank you, sister. You know, if we set up a 'Little Asgard' here and you took the mini throne, I would be behind you.

Please, no. I already hold one crown I have no intention of wearing. Do not give me another.

She will not be an issue. I defeated her once, I could do it again.

Whew! I'm glad you're here with me.

I suppose... if I have to be trapped here with any member of our family, I am glad it's you.

Let's go out and do something, exploring or otherwise. We'd make a great team! And I have scads of cash to help us prepare, if the need arises.
