That made Loki chuckle as he followed her, letting her get settled. Pulling off his overtunic, and his boots, before moving to the other side. Leaving space, but facing her. He'd let her come to him, if she wanted more. "The Grandmaster did like his creature comforts--and I felt you deserved something nice."
"You do, Dani." Loki said quietly against her hair, curling around her and cuddling her close. He'd always been a very physically affectionate person, though he allowed himself to be so rarely. "Sleep now. Unless you need a lullaby." Teasing her gently.
"I'm getting there." She takes a deep breath, inhaling the scent of him. One hand curling in the fabric of his shirt. Closing her eyes as her breathing evens out. "Your voice is... really soothing, actually."
"Story it is then." Mouth still against her hair, cuddling her close and tangling their legs, Loki spoke softly. "Once long ago, in an age lost to antiquity..." Sharing a story his mother had told him and his brother when they were young. Of brave heroes who were strong and clever, facing hard times and hard decisions. But in the end they were triumphant.
This feels good. Tangled up with Loki like this. Having him hold her close, limbs tangled together while he murmurs tales of adventure into her hair. She smiles and closes her eyes, half listening to the story and half listening to Loki's heartbeat.

Dani sighs and curls up closer to Loki, nuzzling into his chest a little. Letting the closeness of him comfort her.

And, eventually, she manages to drift off.
