She pulled back from him very quickly, nearly falling off the stool. She got off of it herself and looked down at her hands.
"I, um, I think the press will have heated up by now," she said, trying to switch the subject.

"Yes, probably," he muttered. "What do you want on yours?"

"Just cheese and lettuce," she said a little shakily, turning so that her back was to him so he wouldn't see her face.

He stared.
"What is it?"

Without looking back at him and feeling like she was about to break down - for the first time, terrified because if a violent situation happened, nobody knew where she was and she was at his house alone - she said, a squeak coming into her voice, "Next time please don't shout at me, Lukas, okay?"

"It's just that my- my- "
She was tearing up, fuck.
"It's just that my father-"
This was the last thing she wanted to tell anybody in the world, him least of all.

"Distant? Disapproving, unpleasable?"
His voice had simultaneously become tense and clipped but also a little hoarse.

"And - and kind of violent-" She started to cry, tiny little gasps more than full-on tears, turning against the wall and huddling to try and take up minimal amounts of space.

She nodded fervently, but still couldn't face him.
"I'm -I'm sorry," she whispered. "Just- just give me a second-"
She tried to take a few deep breaths, but then abruptly she ran from the room and back into his bathroom.

Some very surprised bread, cheese.and lettuce manifested in the refrigerator right before Loki opened it. He set about melting the cheese between two slices of bread in the press, idly waving a hand at the lettuce to insert itself into the hot sandwich without going limp when it was done.
He took off his jacket and sat down glumly.

After a few minutes, Teja wandered out, her eyes a little bright but her makeup mostly intact.
".....hi."
