[whose_son_am_i]

"It's over-rated, I'll say that much." Considering how many times he'd been thought dead already? Not a fan.

Glad to see her getting more food, he lets the silence linger companionably again. Working on his own cake and cheese and wine.

[drpalmer]

"How old are you anyway?"

She knows he's very old, and she wonders if he's even kept track.

[whose_son_am_i]

"1,053 years old. I was born in 965 A.D. as time is reckoned here." He was also the YOUNGER brother.

[drpalmer]

"That is, impressively old. You don't look a day over 900."

She can't help but to fall into flirtatious teasing again.

[whose_son_am_i]

Loki just made a scoffing noise, giving her a slow-blink of amusement. "Thor is 447 years older than I am."

[drpalmer]

"Doesn't he have a human girlfriend?" She feels like she heard that rumor.

[whose_son_am_i]

"I'm not entirely sure of their current status. I recall vaguely hearing something about him being left by her." Loki can't hide the amusement he feels at that, or the smugness.

[drpalmer]

"Guess the thunder gets to be too much." She shrugs. It's not as if she had ever considered dating a god before recently.

[whose_son_am_i]

Loki had certainly never considered dating a human before. Although he supposed they should clarify what 'dating' meant. Or being 'friends'--he wasn't used to that. It wasn't he hadn't had relationships with them before, but they were very rare, brief, and non-committal.

"It can certainly cause a headache."

[drpalmer]

"You're very quiet, makes you better at backstabbing."

It's not said in anything but a jesting manner. She genuinely does enjoy his company.

She's had more food so she pours herself another glass of wine.

[whose_son_am_i]

"That's because you haven't seen me at parties. When I want to be I can be quite the social butterfly." Loki meant it sincerely too.

[drpalmer]

"I can believe that. I bet you are incredibly charming when you want to be."

Part of that silvertongue must be winning people over with charm.

[whose_son_am_i]

"Nor is it obvious necessarily when I'm doing so. It works better if you're subtle about it." With a raise of his glass towards her and an amused, but secretive, smile.

[drpalmer]

"Not obvious at all, huh?"

She wonders how much of his smoothness with her is an act, he's very practiced at making someone putty in his hand.

[whose_son_am_i]

"Which means you're now wondering if I'm acting or not." No he hadn't read her mind, it just seemed like the next logical path. Nor could he read minds.

A pause, blue-green eyes studying her again, expression serious. "I did not expect to find someone I am...comfortable with. Could be friendly with, among humans."

[drpalmer]

"Good deduction." It's a natural thought process and he picked right up on it.

"I am happy and actually very flattered to be your friend."

[whose_son_am_i]

"Why?" Yes he was absolutely wonderful although few saw it that way. But she was a trauma surgeon, in New York. She knew what he was capable of, what he'd done. At the very least. Yet she'd been polite and friendly towards him--kind at least, since their first meeting.

[drpalmer]

"You are very smart, entertaining to be around. I know I should hate you, given everything, and maybe you're just acting for me, but you don't seem like a monster."

She takes a sip of wine, "callous and condescending, sure, but I don't know, I don't see the overt cruelty I think I was expecting."

[whose_son_am_i]

"There's a difference between being cruel in support of an objective, and just being a sadist." Loki replied, gaze still measuring her. "I...could have been a monster, if I wanted. But so can many beings."

[drpalmer]

"There are plenty of monstrous humans, we all have the potential."

He would just be able to do damage on a different scale.

"You just seem, relieved? - to have someone treat you nicely."

[whose_son_am_i]

"It's.....more that you don't seem to expect me to be anything specific." Loki hazarded, head turning slightly as he scrutinized her. Trying to figure out the puzzle she presented. "You didn't treat me like a monster, I have no reason to attempt being something to gain your favor..."

[drpalmer]

"I wouldn't know what to expect from you, honestly."

She's not really mentioned the invasion to him, and it isn't as if she saw him, she had been working, what she saw was of him on the news.

"The news did make you look taller though, I'll admit that." Not that he's short by any stretch.

[whose_son_am_i]

"Part of that is costuming. You've seen me in far more casual circumstances." Which was true.

[drpalmer]

"Without the." She points and her head and giggles, "big horns."

[whose_son_am_i]

It brought an amused scoff of laughter, before Loki was getting up from his seat. As he'd been known to do, his clothing shimmered. Midgardian suit and jacket and tie fading into a familiar look from the news.

"Better?"
