Trending towards neutral, yes, but not exactly there. Loki is watching Mobius like a hawk, now, as if he can read the past year and change unfolding in the man's expression.
As if he can just intuit, know, what has happened in the interim.
The tone of Mobius' greeting tells him one thing: it has hurt. His disappearance and whatever else has occurred. Its hurt.
(No one tries that hard for a positionality in which nothing is given away if what is available to give away is something completely comfortable, after all.)
"I don't know. A few days, I think. I haven't been minding the calendar." Doesn't help that the moment he pauses, anywhere, he falls entirely asleep. "Are you... busy, right now? Can we talk?" Preferably not in the library, someone is bound to complain... plus Loki's hands keep opening and closing. An aborted gesture to reach. Part of him doesn't believe this is real until he manages to engage as many senses as possible.
