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* 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."
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?"
"He hasn't exactly been subtle, nor have you." Brunhilde replied. "At least at first, we might've all just thought it a whim. Glad to see it wasn't. He needs someone to occupy him to keep the rest of us from dealing with him."
"I'm not the best person to ask. I only know him from reputation after meeting him just about a year ago. I honestly thought he was one of the Grand Master's lackeys and hangers-on, on Sakaar." Brunhilde said genuinely. "I can say most of the reputation matched, from what I saw on Sakaar and have heard since, except where you're concerned."
"Yet...you helped him, from what I understand?" Brunhilde tilted her head, confused. "To meet him originally. That's how the rumors are going. You found him injured."
"He probably deserved it. At least..." Brunhilde had a thoughtful look on her face. "At least back then. He's still far too secretive, sneaky, and conniving, but the general mayhem has been more...useful?"
"I hope that's enough of a deterrent." Brunhilde saluted her. "It's mine in....a very very long time. I missed it. What about you, Loki? Are you enjoying yourself?" Since he'd returned with two champagne flutes, moving to take a seat next to Christine. "I'm certainly more social than I have been before." He responded with a polite smile.
"That's certainly a great part of it." Loki agreed, eyes amused and a hint of smile on his face. Brunhilde chuckled. "I don't know, I often saw you being social on Sakaar. The Grand Master did like his parties."
"Well I had to secure his favor somehow, didn't I?"

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

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.
