Thor nods, reaching to take both of Loki's hands in his own. He squeezes them as he draws his arms around his brother. He didn't fault Loki for not keeping in contact. It was understandable. Loki's relationship with their father was a weak one and you couldn't communicate with their mother without inevitably running into him.

And Thor was still close with both their parents. Loki not wanting to talk to him as much made sense. It held risks that conversations would eventually make it back to their parents.

Being the adopted son had to be difficult. Thor being born only a short time before Loki's arrival was rough. Frigga hadn't been able to conceive for so long that they chose adoption and she refused to just leave the baby they'd met behind. So.. Loki joined them. And as much as their father tried he was never quite as successful at making feel Loki actually part of the family.

Thor was too young to notice then was unable to repair the damage by time he was old enough to realize what was going on. He felt foolish.

At least now he could make sure Loki was safe.

Don't have to go to home.
