"Loki," he began and then paused, clearing his throat. "Brother, it was wrong for me to keep secrets as I did, shielding you from a happiness you deserved after risking your life to destroy Fenrir. I thought that you may be inclined not to take the throne you earned, leaving it open for someone unworthy to sit upon. Jotunheim needed you to take over rule, to save it from further destruction. I only hope that someday you may forgive me, as I have forgiven you for your past transgressions. I meant no harm." It was the best he could do for now, and he hoped Loki heard the truth behind his apology.
