More laughter while walking with her, arm around her waist, back to the sitting room and the table there. Her spell had worked, as the food was still warm and fresh. Once they were seated and had eaten a bit, Loki had a thought occur to him. "Actually, I do have an idea that is probably best done here. I can start teaching you to throw daggers."
"One step at a time, but most likely yes. I'd rather you know how to do so without using your magic, then you can work on modifying it." It was a practical concern to his way of thinking.
"I haven't actually taught many people before, so that is a bit surprising to me." Then he thought about it for a moment. "Or maybe not so surprising." A shrug. "Regardless, I am motivated to help you learn, and learn correctly."
He'd been trying to, yes. Glad that it had succeeded. "I am coming to appreciate the sheer variety of food when I do travel though. It's....still not home, but it's close though--this meal. We did have many of the same flora and fauna as Midgard on Asgard."
"Sadly, that is not covered in the book you got me. Nor was it in any of the history I learned growing up. We definitely had some creatures and organisms you did not though so..." A shrug. "It will probably not surprise you to find out I know how to ride a horse."
Okay, that was fair. He lifts his glass to her in salute. "Fair enough." Then he's chuckling. "I may be a bad influence on you. Or perhaps I just bring it out more."
"That and walking were the most practical means of getting around. It's...strange." Loki was trying to think of how to explain. "In many ways, we were far more advanced than here. But we still clung to some old ways that were favored among us, and became adopted by the humans."
"I can't say I'm displeased by it, really. Some of the stuff I see people wear here makes me...wonder. So does some of the stuff I've seen elsewhere." With a small smile. "And we didn't always ride horses. We had skifs and skimmers that hovered over the water and could fly through the sky as well."

"No, I think this is enough."
It does make for a lovely look, all legs below the hemline.

Like the stew he had chosen when she was sad. She understands that better now, he was offering her comfort food.

"How though? Did you introduce plants to Earth ages ago or did evolution just converge a lot?"
