"As much as I know you love New Asgard, it isn't the warmest." Loki was quick to follow so they could close the portal. Their bungalow wasn't quite on the beach proper, as it was set far back enough to avoid the worst of the weather. But it was private, as was their stretch of beach, and it was theirs for a week at least. Possibly more, if he extended it.
"If I could somehow gift you with my inability to feel cold, I would."
"Now that I can put warming spells on my clothes, I'm much better at the cold." She closes the portal behind her and is practically bounding up to the bungalow and it's hammocks.
"It's so pretty." She is beaming at him. "Thank you."
"You did give me an idea of what you wanted, Sweetling. I just had to find it. Which wasn't difficult." Loki followed at a decent pace, not bothering with his disguise, given the private nature of the place. In many respects, the pair were totally on their own.
The beach even had a nice little dock with a small sail-boat tied up and ready for small pleasure jaunts.
"It has been a while, but yes. Granted, that was back on Asgard. I don't expect it to be too difficult to adapt however." Loki is taking their suitcase and his messenger bag in to the bungalow proper, as well as doing a quick walk-through. Checking, and warding the place as he went. Only when that was complete did he come and join her in the hammock.
It's a big awkward in the hammock, but her kiss is greeted with one of his own, and a soft laugh. Curling himself around her, cuddling her close, Loki moved to stroke her cheek. "Hello Sweetling. Ready for a proper vacation?"
"I suspect you have ideas, my Sweetling." Loki chuckled, content to just laze with her for now. "It is entirely up to you. I plan to be off-grid as much as I can, despite having brought my work equipment just in case."
"So I am teaching you runes, while we're here then." Loki would be the last person to chide her for being selfish. "Which I'm happy to do, by the way."
Her response brought a laugh. He had dressed down for their vacation--for once wearing a white linen shirt and loose dark green linen pants. Most of his clothes had been in the same theme, though he had brought light armor if they decided to explore or train.
"I am for you, at least." He wasn't sure how good a teacher he was for others. It had been a surprise to find people wished to spar with him, too.
She does enjoy seeing him dressed more casually, it's always a pleasant surprise.
"You are getting a bit of a sparing fan club." People are reccomending to one another to try sparing with Loki because he's so cunning and sneaky, he never does what's expected and that is helpful in training.
"It's...strange. To finally be valued somewhat, when I've spent centuries being derided as less than honorable." Maybe it was simply because their people were all learning to adapt to a new way of doing things.
"I'll have to ensure that it doesn't become common then. Lest it become expected." Smiling against her hair. Sighing in content and reaching up to stroke the back of her neck and shoulders while she nuzzled him.
"Would you like a walk along the beach, or to stay here. We can even just nap and be lazy." Which sounded very indulgent in his mind. "Or get started on learning to sail."
"Then lazy we shall be." Kissing her hairline, and shifting only enough to curl her closer. Make them both more comfortable. One hand still caressing her neck and shoulders, the other splayed low and possessive on her hip.

And she finally convinced Wong to let her borrow it.

"The water sounds nice." The waves gently crashing on the beach.
