"This may have to be a regular experience from now on." Loki commented with a lazy smile of pleasure. It was just the right amount of sweet--truly sweet, but not cloying or artificial. Not overpowering, but complimentary.
He's raising an eyebrow as she does so, curious. "It is being taken care of..." He's not sure if he feels insulted or not, honestly--or why he might be feeling any affront at all.
"They don't treat their servants properly?" That brings a soft noise of disdain from him. They may be beneath him, but if you wanted a loyal and capable staff you ensured that at minimum their basic needs were handled.
"If you're ready." But he's getting to his feet and moving to help her from her own. Again using his best manners. Although before offering his arm, he brings her hand up. Just the lightest little bow and kiss against the back of her palm, before tucking her hand against his arm.
"You know the city better than I do. Is it to be straight back, or are we continuing this adventure elsewhere?" Loki had no plans, except spending more time with her. She was exceedingly good company, and he wanted to savor it.
"Be careful or I might be inclined to think you want to woo me."
And that it is sort of working. The little kiss, the way he takes her arm, it's practically out of a romance novel. But with a man who doesn't do sentiment.
"I'd be fine with walking back entirely, but I worry about you in those shoes." Moving towards the door as they discuss it. "Kanskje jeg gjør det." With a hint of smirk. "You are the best company I've had in some time."
"I could also be telling you all the secrets you want to know about me." Mischief in his eyes, but entirely straight-faced otherwise. "Besides, this is your chance to play tour guide."
"Who's to say I didn't already snoop in there? Or that I ever play fairly?" He does not mind the closeness at all. Modulating his stride as needed so that she could walk with him.
"Playing the perfect role." Loki replied smoothly, but did reach his hand to hers where it was tucked against his arm. "It's not one I find unenjoyable however." He was well aware of what he was doing.
His head tilted to regard her curiously. But he said nothing, just let his thumb brush her skin softly. Content to simply walk with her, and he had no fear of the night. Or the city at night.
She finds she's especially calm about walking at night. She would almost dare someone to try to mug them when she's with Loki. She's seen how he can fight.
She actually hasn't--that was training, which was entirely different than a fight. But he had been trained properly as the second prince which included a warrior's training. And then he'd spent a year fighting for himself and surviving on his wits alone. It would take one of the super-heroes to give him a proper challenge.
Besides which, she was still slotted into that category of his in his mind. Which meant his to protect, as well.
"Trouble?" Asked softly, moving to stop entirely. He suspected it was her shoes, honestly. While they could be attractive, he also wondered just why humans put themselves through the pain for style.
lol
They're both getting a taste of sounds they may expect later.

The portions are small, just enough to savor without being over full.
She opens her bag to pull out some bills to leave as a tip.

She's not meaning to be insulting, she just knows how rough being a server can be.

The closeness is nice, it's a sweet, affectionate way to move through the city.

She wants the authetic Loki, the moody, often dark reality of him.

She's slowing her pace a little as they've made it a few blocks and her feet are getting a bit sore.

She wonders if they ought to just take a cab the rest of the way.
