She's not heard all that much about his mother. "You think she would have liked me?"

Christine wishes she could get that approval, it would mean more than any other.

"Shame it's just a dinner, I'd have loved to see you dance."

[whose_son_am_i]

"I'll have to learn some of the more formal ones. Asgardian ones are different." It wouldn't be too difficult to pick up, he was sure. It was also the easier question to address.

As for the subject of Frigga... Quiet while he thought as they walked. Speaking only when he'd considered the question. "I think she would have." With a soft smile. "She was wise, and tried to keep peace among us. Raised by witches, she was a skilled sorceress and healer herself. She is who taught me magic."

[drpalmer]

She can hear that combination of sadness and fondness in his voice. It's obvious that he really loved Frigga.

"You took well to magic, obviously." Though he is a skilled fighter his style is very different from the other Asgardians she's seen.

[whose_son_am_i]

"When I was young, she'd turn flowers into frogs occasionally, to amuse me. Or cast fireworks over the water from the palm of her hand." Frigga's death, and his unknowing role in it, was likely what had started him changing. "She told me I could do them too, one day. That I could do anything."

[drpalmer]

There's an amused little noise.

"And can you make frogs now?"

She shares Frigga's sentiment that Loki could do anything. Christine just hopes he uses all that power for good things.

[whose_son_am_i]

"Find me a flower and I'll show you." With an amused cant to his head and a half-smirk. "Planning to dissect it to see if a frog made from a flower is different?"

It was likely he'd never be wholly 'good'--he would always be mischievous and a trickster. But he could turn that towards more positive ends overall.

[drpalmer]

"I don't kill things. The original frog was already dead, thank you." She huffs in mock indignation.

Very rarely is anyone purely good or evil. She accepts Loki's shade of gray.

[whose_son_am_i]

That just brings a chuckle, and there's mischief in the smile. "I mean, I could kill it for you so you could see." But he's teasing her, and won't press it. He has many, many shades of gray.

[drpalmer]

"The frog didn't do anything to you."

Now, if he found someone trying to harm her or someone else, she wouldn't stop him from killing them. She has some moral ambiguity herself.

"Maybe you should turn yourself into a frog for a bit, see what frog life is all about." She teases.

[whose_son_am_i]

More laughter, as he's teasing her. "I could do that if you wanted. I'm a shapeshifter after all."

Does that mean you'd kiss me to turn me back into a prince?

[drpalmer]

She joins the laughter.

Or I could build you a nice little tank and keep frog Loki as a pet.

[whose_son_am_i]

Oh I'd just keep escaping and make trouble.

It was companionable, and all light enough. No hint of 'more' besides the conversation about Frigga. Even then, it could be chalked up to her being friendly with the royals. Her interactions with Thor had been smooth enough, and he was much more open than his brother.

It wasn't much longer though before they were back at his rooms.

[drpalmer]

You'd be the worst pet.

They paint a friendly picture out in public, which could be surprised but certainly isn't scandalous.

Now once he closes the door however, then she's grabbing him and tugging him close to kiss him. She has to get some kisses in before dinner.

[whose_son_am_i]

The very fact that she IS staying in his rooms could be considered scandalous enough, for it implied far more. It was a very worth-it-risk in his eyes, and so far those who might matter approved. Everyone else could simply wonder.

His hands move to hers, then up to stroke through her hair softly. Returning every kiss and touch. Pulling her close, protectively.

I think you did handle yourself quite well for only having a few lessons, earlier

[drpalmer]

There were no doubt implications about sharing Loki's rooms, but she wouldn't trade it for anything. Getting to fall asleep with him is worth some gossip.

It's such a stark transition when they are in private again, they don't waste any time in touching again.

Thank you. Seeing you fight was sexier than I might want to admit.

[whose_son_am_i]

That brings laughter in the kiss, lips curling into a smile, and a tighter hug. She did rather effectively spring it on us. I'm normally more lethal.

[drpalmer]

I very much believe that.

With the way he moves, people would be stabbed before they even realized he was close enough to do so.

"I probably shouldn't kiss you too much, or I'll look like we've been very busy in here."

[whose_son_am_i]

"We have some time. More than when I woke you yesterday." Moving to grasp her hand and bring it up to press kisses to it. "But if you're going to be testing your new psychic waters, I should show you how to do so without putting yourself in more danger."

[drpalmer]

"I also have to make myself presentable for dinner." And she doesn't have magic to charm herself into looking like she hasn't spent hours learning to fight.

"Probably should."

[whose_son_am_i]

To be fair, he does too--even with magic. "You need to learn to strike without having to lower your shielding. And I can only help so much, because mine isn't tied to my Empathy the way yours is." But she had shown herself to be capable and intelligent and a quick study so far.

Leaning up he pressed a kiss to her forehead, squeezing her hand where he held it. "We should get cleaned up, and we can talk and I can show you while we're getting ready."

[drpalmer]

She nods, it makes sense. She can't make herself open when she needs to attack.

"Probably shouldn't shower together." She chuckles, "we would be very late."

[whose_son_am_i]

Another kiss against her forehead, holding her tightly. "It would take the edge off but only make us want more." Bringing her hand up to nuzzle, before he let's it go apologetically. Pulling back as well. "You have a selection in the bedroom to choose from. I'll be quick and have far less of a choice to make."

[drpalmer]

"We don't go for quickies, do we?" Nor do they seem to go for just once.

She lets him go, they do have some responsibilities.

"Are you going to go with something green for a change?" Unless he is going to wear a suit, it seems likely to be green.

She steps away to go to the bedroom to choose from the clothes set out for her.

[whose_son_am_i]

That brings laughter, as he's pulling off the padded leather over-jacket. "Formal Midgardian style, Sweetling. I'll have a deep green tie and accents, but otherwise was going with basic black."

He's entirely un-self-conscious as he removes the light armor he had been wearing, to head for the bathroom.

Hanging not far away, are a variety of options for Christine, although most seemed to be of a pant-suit variety. She had choices it would seem.

[drpalmer]

"I'm very interested in seeing you in a suit."

She's shameless in watching him undress. She may have to wait to have him, but at least she gets a good view of what she gets to come back to.

magnificent ass. Comes to him as he walks away.

She will pick between the blue or green suit options, both colors suit her skin well.
