Loki wasn't entirely sure, but something told him that Steve was the only one who would ever really be able to coax him out of moods like this, at least as easily as he seemed to be able to. He was still... unsteady, still needed time and reassurance, but the man was making headway. And the face that he cared enough to try meant more than Loki could really imagine putting into words.
With both arms around him, Loki felt himself starting to relax, at least a bit. Not trembling as badly as before as he listened to Steve talking about the neighborhood he'd grown up in, the offer to take him around to see it. It was... surprising in a way, but even so, he felt that curl of affection in response, offering a small nod in reply to the idea. He would like that he thought. A quiet day where it was just the two of them, listening to Steve telling him all about the things he'd done and seen when he was growing up.
"...okay." Quiet still, a little cautious, but it was a response either way.
