"I am rather boring otherwise." Outside of work she's quiet and a bit bookish, nothing thrilling.

"You're far more interesting. How much of the mythology is true?"

"No, I am." She chuckles. "The one most humans remember is the one about the horse. Or the one with Thor dressed as a woman."

Both are quite entertaining myths.

"I'm not sure if I'm disappointed that you didn't birth a horse or not." And that is a very weird sentiment to express.

"Funny that your bets have become whole myths here." Humans love a good story.

She grins at him, "you'd make a great horse mother."

Christine enjoys teasing him and the way he responds in kind.

"So you used to come and visit? That's fascinating."

"Ouch. I get it, we've exploited the planet to it's breaking point and still wage wars over trivial things. I can see how Earth wouldn't be the best world out there."

Even if it is dissapointing to hear. Christine has never been a believer in human superiority, she is smart enough to see all the downfalls.

"Right before the planet bursts into flames."

She treats him fairly, he's not a threat to her and he is interesting. She's never met anyone from a different planet.

"You live here now?"

"Your whole planet?" She seems surprised "I'm sorry. That's horrible."

She can't imagine that sort of loss.

"Are you doing okay? Despite everything."

His expression makes it very clear that no one has bothered to ask him if he's okay. She understands why humans wouldn't treat him with much kindness, but his own people?

"Is it a nice place? The bit of Norway you're in."

That feels a bit like an invitation and it brings a bit of color to her cheeks.

Her phone buzzes and she grabs it to answer.

"Be right down, thanks." She is off it just as quickly.

"Food is here, I'll be right back."

She gives him a little smile before heading out of the apartment to go get their food. She doesn't even question leaving him alone in her home.

She was naturally curious about Thor, the man summoned lightning, that was worth a level of curiosity.

Christine didn't see a point in warning him to not dig through her things, if he really wanted to she doubts a warning would have persuaded him otherwise. And it's not as if she keeps many secrets.

It's only a brief time to get the food and tip the delivery person before making it back upstairs and into the apartment.

"I'm back." She calls out when she notices the empty sofa.

"Sorry, I didn't tell you where the bathroom was." She doesn't seem upset at all.

Though the sight of him is a little hint distracting, she didn't get a good look while she was sewing him up. She catches herself staring pretty quickly and turns her attention back to getting silverware and plates.

He's built exactly how she likes her men, and that is not a thought she wants to have. He tried to take over her planet, mistake or not; she shouldn't be attracted to him.

"There's a laundry basket right inside the second door there."

Right inside her bedroom.
