"I do. I'll probably switch into fewer full shifts and more administrative duties in the future, I can't keep the pace up forever."

She is a realist down to the core.

"Trauma mostly. But I'll get emergency appendectomys and the like as well."

"Appendectomy?" He was sure he knew the procedure, but wasn't quite sure of the terminology.

"I don't see you slowing down anytime soon, though."

"Appendix removal. It's a little organ long thought to be vestigial."

She explains, given that Asgardians might not have one at all.

"Probably not for a while. I've finally earned first pick of shifts, which is doctor luxury."

"I believe I mentioned that it seems a thankless task." But there's no bite to his words, just conversation.

"What would you do for fun, if you could do anything?"

"You should see how many cards I get at Christmas time." It's her favorite time of year for that reason. She gets cards from so many former patients and their families.

"More travel. Or learn to scuba dive, I'd love to see some coral reefs."

There's a moment where he's trying to remember if he's heard of Christmas... "Yule? Or the holiday that Yule was folded into?"

"So you want to explore more."

"Yule." She nods. They've made a good dent in the bottle of wine and she is feeling the blood warming her cheeks from it.

"Basically. Especially since being reminded of how short my life is."

It's a good thing they've also been having food to help absorb the wine.

"All the more reason to live it to the fullest." Spoken like the true hedonist he was, with a sly grin.

"Will you age?"

What she remembers from her mythology, Odin was usually described as old looking.

She's given a curious look, and a nod. "You've seen what I looked like as a chlid." It would just take longer for him.

"I didn't know if you just stopped at adulthood."

Though thinking about it, it does seem like a stupid question.

"You accent sounds English, which is not what I would have expected."

"What would you have expected?" He hadn't noticed, honestly. It made sense, given he was speaking English however. "Jeg tviler på at du forstår norsk."

"An accent that I couldn't place at all?"

She grins and chuckles.

"Yeah, or that."

"Vi kan ikke akkurat føre en samtale på denne måten." He's grinning too. "It would make communication more difficult."

"Just a tiny bit."

It sounds good though, whatever it is he's saying.

"How many languages do you know?"

"A few." Bringing his glass up for a drink. "Not as many as I'd like, and many are changing all the time. The accent is likely because it's common. It is also called English." A bit of teasing there.

"It's a better accent than American English, just surprising."

She's finishing off the food for the second course.

"I'm conversational in French and a bit of Spanish. And I know a good bit of Latin."

"Colloquium habere potuimus latine." He said, with a bit of a smug grin. "Any of the Latin-based languages I've picked up are because I speak Latin."

"Im 'magis ad eam legere"

That smugness is returned in kind. Challenging him could become a favorite pastime.

"Quod tantum facit sensu, quam vobis dedit" With a little soft laugh, amused. This was part of why she was enjoyable--she rose to challenges, and was fun. "Quid aliud vis facere?"

The teasing, flirting way is back in full force.

"vel in generali apud vos?"

"Utrumque. Ego maxime aperta ad quidquid velis." Myths had painted him with a silver tongue. Christine was finding out just why and how true that was.

"Periculosum esse in holocaustum"

She would make a dirty joke about the silver tongue.

"How many people have you seduced to get what you want?"

"Sum periculo viri valde." At her question, he raised an eyebrow. "Do you really want to know?" In truth, he'd kind of lost count.

"I'm noticing that." He could so easily win over just about anyone he wants to.

"Morbid curiosity."

"We could have a conversation in Latin."

"I'm better at reading it."

"Makes sense, given your job." "What else would you like to do?"

"with you or in general?"

"Both. "I'm open to most anything."

"that could be a very dangerous offering."

"I'm a very dangerous man."
