It makes sense in that children are given to mistaking often for always, in that Loki's penchant for irreverence would be more than irksome to the patriarch of a militaristic House, and in that such a set of circumstances might well over time and repetition become entrenched in a way that is nigh irreconcilable. Especially between two men who, for reasons of being stubborn, uncompromising, or in Loki's case simply contrarian, might be disinclined to yield; so she nods slowly.

But siblings are different. Any similar difficulty does not seem to have calcified between the two brothers, and although they had been anywhere from cool to downright cruel to each other at times during their shared walk across Tevinter, Thor still now says he loves him. And so:

"You are both exhausted," she says, reaching to very lightly rest her fingers on Thor's forearm for emphasis, "and both far from home, and both grieving terribly. It is of a certainty not my place to suggest, and I know well it is not customary, but... what think you of sharing your vigil? Of standing it together?"

Perhaps she shall be chided by one or the both of them for her impertinence, and perhaps it would precipitate strife rather than any hint of reunion, but perhaps neither of those things. It seems an acceptable risk to take in the pursuit of whatever peace can be had.
