Their humor is often biting and sarcastic but they understand one another.

"Ok, I need to try them." She kisses his cheek and moves to the case with the boots inside and unlocks it. "Most of these are a bit too dangerous to just play with for a laugh."

But walking up the walls seems safe enough.

Loki chuckled and let her go, watching as she moved to put the boots on. "They're handy things, though I've never gotten to try them myself."

"You can after I climb this wall." She's always willing to share with him.

She walks across the floor normally and is a bit slow putting a foot onto the wall, then another, standing at a 90 degree angle.

"I think I'll save it for something more exciting than just climbing a wall." Loki replied with a chuckle as he watched her.

"I don't know, this is pretty fun." It feels perfectly stable as she walks up the wall the same as she would the floor.

"I suspect you're also pleased that the boots aren't picky, like some artifacts." While she did that, Loki moved to examine the artifacts still in cases some more. Chuckling to himself that some of Thor's lost stuff had ended up here. Perhaps, if the mood struck him, he might tell Strange. Or if he was feeling really up for mischief, he'd tell Thor himself.

"Did you not lose as many things as a child? We've not found anything of yours in here."

She wouldn't expect to, Loki was much more careful. She walks her way back down the wall.

"These are fun."

"Generally the important stuff, no. I was also more likely to find things than to lose them." Loki said, coming back to where Christine was walking down the wall. Reaching up to stroke her cheek while she was still vertical. "I'm glad you're enjoying them."

She absolutely must try kissing him at this odd angle, doing so with a laugh.

"I'm sure some of these you'll be able to use as well."

It was odd, and she could feel his smile too. But the kiss was sweet and affectionate, Loki stroking her cheek while they did so. "Oh I have no doubt." He responded, eyes sparkling with amusement and planned mischief.

"If I'm not in the library, you should probably check to make sure that all of these are present."

"Should I be worried about the trouble you'll be causing?" She has enough trust to believe he won't use the artifacts for ill will.

"To you, I promise I shall clean up the messes I make." For her alone. Still touching her as she came back to the 'ground', before pulling her into a hug.

"Thank you." She steps easily into his embrace with a smile.

"Now to figure out how to extend my life."

"First, we have a tour to finish, Sweetling." Loki reminded her, leaning in enough to kiss her nose playfully.

"Right, I guess that first." She chuckles. Christine moves from him to return the boots to their case before leading him to the library.

"This is what I'm most excited for."

Walking into the Library had Loki relaxing and perking up at the same time. Eyes widening a bit, and it was clear he was pleased. Moving along the walls, tracing book-titles, slowly taking stock and inventory. Nothing too surprising, and no restricted section--which was mildly disappointing.

There were some restricted tomes, but they were hidden.

"You want to see the dangerous ones, don't you?" She knows her Trickster.

She casts a spell to open the hidden doorway. The books inside are potentially volatile and are shielded appropriately.

Loki turned to her, expression completely innocent. "How else will I know how to avoid them?" He asked, tone entirely sincere too. Not that Christine didn't know him well, because of COURSE he wanted to know. And go examine.

"So now you'll never need to come in here again, right?"

She knows when he's faking his innocence.

"The very dangerous ones are in New York, Stephen took a few out of here as well." The Sorcerer Supreme may be on working terms with Loki, but that doesn't mean he trusts the god.

"Oh you know I'll be in here every chance I can, Sweetling." Loki teased back, before rolling his eyes. "Of course, I'm so shocked." With his tone deadpan. "Still, there is plenty here that is not restricted as well, to keep me busy and entertained."

"He's been rather generous with the books." And the artifacts that are still in place. Stephen could have had the place cleaned out.

"I'm waiting to get my chance to read the books on time that he has so well protected."

"I'm not surprised. If you get tired of waiting and want to try and raid them, let me know. I'll help." Because of course he'd help her; she was his Christine. "Aside from his cleaning up pre-emptively, anything else the Sorcerer thinks I should know about this library?"

"Just keep these books in this room. It's shielded well enough should there be any explosions." Which is such a weird statement about books, but very true with some of these titles.

"So I should make sure I shield them carefully if I remove them." Loki murmured, nodding to himself. "And we should continue that tour, and then come back here. Because this might be my new favorite room."

"I don't want to find you blown to bits. Pretty sure some of these could even take down an Asgardian."

She gives his hand a little squeeze.

"Let's finish the tour then."
