When Thor tells Frigga he has lost Loki, he expects her to scold him. They worked so hard to secure his release and he has made a mess of it.
"I expected reluctance, not this. I should have. Did you tell him he was loved? Did you tell him I am no longer wife to the All-Father?"
"Yes. And still he fled."
"Search for him. Carefully, cautiously. He acts as though he were a wounded beast."
"He was weak when I found him, Mother. He did not appear well."
"Then he will not long be able to hold his illusion."
"What illusion?"
"Did he appear Aesir when you arrived?" Thor nods, "Wherever he travels, he will seek to appear as they do."
Thor takes her hand, "I swear, Mother, I will find him and bring him home."
"Be gentle. He is fragile."
