[Loki's eyes shift from left to right and he grits his teeth briefly. Aang's words are awfully comforting and a good summary of what goes through him at this moment.]
It is a dreadful feeling, isn't it?
[The tone of his voice is soft.]
Losing the one that gives you hope? You feel lonely, yet you aren't.
It is. But those times when you feel like you're alone... That's when it helps the most to know you're really not. There's always people that can give you hope. And even if someone so important to you's gone... their love'll always be in your heart. That much won't leave you alone.
[He tries to speak slowly and softly to Loki, to help him realize that.]
[Loki smiles briefly. Not one of those overly warm or bright smiles he uses to cover up whatever lie that has come from his mouth. But a small and sincere one.]
I am not sure if her love is inside my heart, since Leah is not quite aware of the entire concept of love. But I understand the sentiment.
Well... Even if someone doesn't know what it is, if they care, then there's still some love there. It's not the same as having the person there, but just that little piece can still do good.

[Loki thinks about it.]
...for now, the memories of her feel less good then I want them to be. I guess it takes some time.
I also think I need some...'alone time' right now...
[Action]
[And he gives an understanding nod while putting a hand on his friend's shoulder.]
If you need to be alone, that's fine. Just make sure that if you feel like you need a "bro", you let me know, alright?
[Action]
[Loki's voice sounds rather firm when he says that.]
But it is quite painful to realize that Leah is not around anymore. Therefore I just need...
[His voice falters a bit and his shoulders slump a bit.]
Aye, I shall keep it in mind. [He pats Aang's back quickly.] But for now I really have to take my leave.
[Because he can feel tears stinging behind his eyes and he prefers to do his weeping alone.]
[Action]
[Action]
I shall put time to good use.
[After that he turns around and walks off, muttering something to himself about Leah and her excellent timing to vanish.]
