The dance floor was quickly filling up, with both the King and the Prince out dancing.

This is wonderful.

I'm glad. A pause in his mental voice, as they passed some of those simply watching, and while Loki's expression was as neutral as ever, Christine might notice his eyes had hardened slightly. Be prepared, I've heard a click of a few camera-phones, and spotted at least one.

are you worried?

She knew being at all public would lead to being full out in the open. Christine had been mentally preparing for this for months.

Yes and no. It's not as if I haven't been snapped by paparazzi already in various locations. Again, I worry for you.

I wouldn't have been with you this long if I didn't expect it to eventually come out. I'm very equipped to handle myself now.

If she wanted to she could quiet the whole crowd. Christine is ready to take on whatever comes with being Loki's partner.

You *are* stronger than most suspect. It often surprises me briefly, still--though I don't mean that to sound as condescending as it does. It is a pleasant surprise, and part of why I've fallen so hard for you.

It was equally as likely that the photos would be personal keepsakes, as that some would appear in the papers and news. Unfortunately, Loki couldn't take out the cameras without taking out other electronics.

Are any of the people taking pictures extra suspicious? And thank you, I know you like that I'm dangerous now.

She gives him a grin, Christine is ready to do some nudging or emotional manipulation if she needs to.

Sadly no. They're camouflaging themselves well so far. But I plan to keep more of an eye out now. I've already been somewhat alert and wary still. Loki offers her a smile as she grins. If you think you can manage it, perhaps a general 'suggestion' to the crowd that cameras are not needed. We could do so together.

aw a little teamwork nudge together. I will gladly give it a go.

She's got that mischief in her eyes that says she is already gathering the energy to project.

Focus on a slight feeling of shame, but overall a feeling of not wanting to miss-out as it were. I'll handle the wording. Loki likewise was gathering the spell and energy. Be prepared to follow my lead in the dance as it will be easiest to cast that way.

Waiting for Christine to be ready, whereupon Loki smiled, nodded, and moved to twirl her in a soft spin. Using the motion to free a hand to cast subtly--it would be easier with a gesture given the size of the group they wanted to effect. Christine would also hear him suggesting that the cameras should be put away--there were better things to do.

got it.

It's an impressive bit of teamwork to cast and suggest at the same time, all the while dancing like there was nothing going on at all.

They are truly imposing pair, incredibly strong together.

It is new for Loki to cast with a partner, but it feels right with Christine. She's pulled back in as if nothing had happened beyond the dance move. As they continue around the floor, Loki lets a little satisfied smile come to his face as most of the cameras he'd spotted are no longer there.

There is at least one intrepid guest who'd resisted the suggestion, and Christine will feel Loki's fingers shift against her back. There is a slight kerfluffle as that camera turns into a glass of something, which startled its owner. Nor could Loki help the slight chuckle.

It's like second nature to work together, their magics are quite complimentary.

What did you do?

The message comes with amusement. She hadn't been able to see it, but she knew that chuckle meant mischief.

Took care of a camera from someone particularly strong-willed. Loki's tone was entirely matter-of-fact. I turned it into a glass with a drink, instead of snakes. Which was my first impulse, but would be quite obvious.

The glass is much less obviously you.

There's a bit of pride with her amusement, he's being protective, and it's rather sweet.

Wouldn't do to be boring, now would it? With amusement and a deliberate caress of her mind. You *do* look absolutely beautiful. And the cape helped conceal my casting quite nicely.

I was just getting jealous of everyone having a cape but me.

There is laughter though the link and a smile on her lips.

but now it's also practical.

Have you figured out your own 'uniform' for being a sorceress then? Amusement in Loki's mental voice as well.

Do I get one? Am I a super hero now?

She has her armor, and she's charmed it to be available whenever she needs it.

You participated in the Battle at Wakanda, and will be a Sanctum Guardian, with sanction and approval of the Sorcerer Supreme. I'd say you are.

I don't think I'd be invited to be an avenger.

She is really rather pleased to be thought of as a hero, even if she was one long before she got magic.

Shall we get a drink? I saw champagne flutes.

*I* certainly won't be anytime soon, and I am okay with that. Loki's mental voice was filled with soft laughter and amusement. Besides, I've heard that Doctors of your caliber are considered heroes already many times. With clear pride for her.

Moving them towards the edge of the dance floor, where it was easier for them to then exit to find a table. "Go find a seat, Christine. I'll bring us something to drink."

You do much better with a loose definition of rules.

Even when he's doing things for the right reason he can't be constrained.

"Thank you." She slips off to find a seat near Brunhilde, who she greets with a wave.

Brunhilde had attended in a very sharp, tailored suit instead of a gown. She smiled at Christine when the other sat down, and had a glass over her own. "Ah, you two finally going public?"

Christine laughs.

"How could you have possibly known before now?" It's obviously a joke, everyone at least suspected.
