Uriel's teary eyes indeed saw the title of the book. While her mind did not truly register it, her somewhat photographic memory picked up the sight of Loki clutching the book with the title well visible and stored it away for future reference. However, at the moment she paid no mind to such things as she listened to Loki's whispered words, then saw the god flee from the library.
"Well, he is the only one I have left, too," she whispered to the empty room. "Aside from Him, he is the only one who cares for me." More tears sprung forth as she thought about how everybody she'd thought to care about her had abandoned and hurt her in the end. Michael. Pestilence.
Would Odin abandon her, too? Would he hurt her -- directly or through her child? If Odin no more cared about her, she would be just as alone as Loki would have been without him. She'd never been too close with other angels; aside from her friendship with Michael, she hadn't truly known closeness. In the Manor, however, she had come to know it -- and the pain the loss of it caused.
Any thoughts of finding more books on pregnancy had fled her mind by now. Tears streaming down her pale face, she hurried into her room. There she dug through her few possessions until she found the bottle of medicine Raphael had given her (http://community.livejournal.com/neutral_omens/76962.html?thread=1189026#t1189026). While there were definitely no signs of a violent manic episode being about to arrive, even in her currently rather irrational state of mind she knew that she was about to get majorly depressed. She had no idea whether the medicine could prevent the episode entirely, but hopefully it'd at least keep her from harming herself.
After swallowing the medicine she fell onto her bed, crying helplessly. Loki's tale had not only upset her directly; it had also summoned some quite horrifying images of possible future events from her lively imagination.
Odin was indeed pretty much all she had. She trusted him to keep both her and her child safe.
What would she do if it was Odin who hurt either of them?
