It takes a moment, before there's a hint of smirk. "Good. If you are going to kill me. Make it worth it and personal. Something story-worthy." He'd better be worth the effort, damnit. He was the God of Mischief, Loki of Asgard.
He'd lied again too--considering he had plans to repay her, it wasn't really taking advantage now was it? That thought finally occurred to him, and Loki shoved it away to deal with later.
Speaking of repayment...
That hint growing into a proper smirk was her only warning. "Walk to your bedroom." A stronger nudge and suggestion. How far down was her guard and how quickly could she get it back up?
"Would you rather I sent you to mine?" With an arched brow. Back to teasing again, apparently. Besides, it wasn't really his since it was her guestroom.
With Loki, it was always hard to tell. For a Midgardian, she was surprisingly good company. And definitely not unnatractive... "Going to run away from the big bad monster into your books?" This smile had teeth, and just that edge of sharpness.
"Only that you have ones I have not read." He replied smoothly, still with that sharp edge to his smile. And a hint of laughter. "You're too sentimental to want me to take you to bed. You'd want it to mean something other than just a good time."
Nor is he, which is part of how some of those 'myths' had happened.
"But think of the scandal it would cause in the community." This is not a deterrent to him, and blue-green eyes were glittering again with mischief. "But to write a proper paper, you'd have to repeat the experiment multiple times to gain proper data."
"I promise to not get too adventurous, if that's your concern." Although his hand went to his side, to the hole in his green shirt over where he'd been wounded. Checking with careful fingers to see how tender or not the area was still.
Still with that lazy grin. "We will have to move some of your furniture if we're going to be doing this. Be glad you have a huge New York apartment." She really shouldn't encourage him in any way...
"Can you magic my furniture out of the way, it's heavy."
Surgeons tend to have some need for adrenaline and Christine is no different. She needs to maintain some excitement in her life, be it holding beating hearts or fighting an actual god.
An eyebrow raised. "I doubt that, but yes. I can." A pause while he raised the wine-glass up, preparing to finish it. "Go drink your juice." Again with that nudging sensation; although it was a good idea.

There's a smirk, she makes her way back to the living room and over to him.
"Are you jealous of my books?"

She's just going to tease around the idea. They very much should not sleep together, for just a night or otherwise.

"I could certainly repay your healing in that way more easily than taking you out for a nice dinner, if you'd prefer." With a little mocking bow.

Sometimes you just prefer a dessert. And to annoy the god in your living room.

She's not one to back down from a challenge, despite the likelihood of it backfiring tremendously.

There is a hint of something under her amusement, like she might actually be curious about what it would be like to have him.
"But you're injured, I wouldn't want to pop your stitches."

No, he was fairly confident he'd be fine.

"As your doctor, I do think you still need rest."

"Besides, if we're going to get physical, I'd rather start teaching you defense."

As if she could take him in a fight. It's still way more entertaining to act as if she could.

She really, really shouldn't encourage Loki to come at her with a dagger.
