"Seems best to keep things simple, since we are from different worlds in the most literal sense."

They move well together, once Christine let go enough to trust his lead. From there it's natural.

That she did trust him to lead, even in the small stakes that was dancing, was rather unusual. They did move well together, which was a pleasant surprise to Loki--not that he showed this. Able to lead her in an occasional spin, though he hadn't tried dipping her yet. Keeping it simple.

"So long as we're both clear on the terms, I see no problems."

She could probably manage a dip if he wanted. Christine was surprised by how nice it was to dance with him, how nice this whole evening had been.

"Me either."

Maybe as the night and dancing wears on, he'll attempt to dip her. As it was, they lapsed into a comfortable rhythm. No real need to break the silence and fill it, but more occasional interruptions of it to further learn about each other. How was her work going overall? Commonplaces about Asgard and some of the other realms. Occasional stories or anecdotes.

Comfortable, and enjoying both the dance and the company.

It's the most pleasant evening she's had in a long while. Though after a few more dances it seems like a good time to end the evening.

"I hope you'll visit again soon." She says as she kisses his cheek.

Loki remained in his Midgardian clothing, and really was less noticeable without the armor or horns. He also used subtle spells of misdirection when traveling. She did live in the city that had been the focal point of his invasion after all.

It was a wonder as well that the upstart wizard hadn't intercepted him too, yet. Loki had improved though and gotten better at hiding himself. He, and Thor, and Freyja, had all learned a lot when having to deal with Hela after all.

Canting his head, blue-green eyes regarded her. "When would you like? I can't guarantee I'll be on time, but having a set date provides me more opportunity to be either early or late." A hint of mischief in the half-smile.

"Perhaps next week?"

Christine hadn't heard much of anything from Stephen lately, so she took that as value neutral. Her ex was obviously not overly concerned about Loki's presence.

That it was so soon pleased him.

"Any particular day? I do not have one associated with me, as some others of the Aesir and Vanir do." Taking her hand, thumb brushing along her skin in subtle affection.

"I wouldn't know how to appropriately celebrate your day anyways." She teases. "I'm off of work on Thursday and Friday."

The little affection is not lost on her.

"I think Friday then, as that day is attributed to both Frigga and Freyja. I am far more willing to inadvertently honor them, than suffer Thor's Day." With a playful wink. "Are we doing dinner again, or something else?"

Since it very was likely a date of sorts, even if they were just friends. With dancing and kisses.

"I don't think we would be honoring Thor so much." But Friday works for her.

"Do you like theatre?" She has her own mischievous idea of what they could do.

"True. Perhaps Thursday then, in spite." With a playful and soft chuckle. He and Thor were...better. Than they had been for a while. There were still old wounds and scars to heal however.

"I do, and this city is rather famous for it."

"Then I have the perfect show for us to go see."

She had friends tell her about the Avengers musical, and she can't resist the temptation to bring Loki to it.

"You may want to alter your appearance a bit, since there will be a lot of people around."

"Suggestions then? Since you'll be the primary person who my appearance matters to." Other than himself, but he'd also spent 4 years pretending to be his father. An evening would be nothing to him.

"Hmm." She looks him over. "I do obviously like this look, perhaps shorter, lighter hair and a beard of some kind? Just adjust things a bit and people will be oblivious."

"So a darker brown, rather than true black? And what kind of beard." With a smile. "I doubt you want me to have the kind that is proper to my people when they do grow them."

"Maybe a goatee? Or just short?" She imagines the few drawings of Odin she has seen and they all include a rather long beard.

"I think I can accommodate that." Now he brought their joined hands up, kissing the back of her palm. "Then I shall see you in the later afternoon this Friday."

"I'll get us tickets."

And what a show it will be.

"Have a good week, Christine." One more brush of his thumb against her hand in affection, before Loki gave her a little half-bow while stepping away. Then heading on his way again.
