It brought an amused scoff of laughter, before Loki was getting up from his seat. As he'd been known to do, his clothing shimmered. Midgardian suit and jacket and tie fading into a familiar look from the news.
"I'm rather used to it, honestly." Loki replied, before offering a slight bow. "Nor did I wear this all the time, even during the invasion." May as well tackle it head on. "I imagine you must have questions however."
He was quiet, debating if he wanted to answer. And if he did, how he would answer. How much was he comfortable revealing. Studying her again, blue-green eyes seeming to weigh and measure her. Before he moved back to his chair, clothing shimmering once more--but not back to the Midgardian attire he'd shown up in. He stayed in his Asgardian clothing, just not nearly so... battle ready.
Taking his seat, he finally looked away. "It is complicated, and a delicate manner. But I truly believed you all needed leadership and guidance." They had seemed more orderly, in their way, than the other nine-realms as well. At least those that Asgard did not already have a solid hold over.
That outfit is more practical, and still very not-human.
"We won't even listen to the guidance of scientists about things. Humanity could absolutely use a more unified anything, but it seems unlikely. Especially if an alien invasion didn't make humanity work together."
"It was years ago though, and I've seen quite a bit since then." 4 years, that he'd hidden as Odin, 1 year in prison after that disastrous invasion. Then however many months on Sakaar.
That made him laugh, head tilting down with it and genuinely amused. "No, I take care of it as much as I'm able to, when I'm able to." With a twinkle in his eyes as he looked at her. "I'm glad you seemed to like it."
"To bring it too often might cheapen the experience of having it, Christine." Loki teased. "But I am glad you like it." Then chuckled to himself. "Don't think this gets you out of replacing it in future. I won't expect this vintage, but I will still expect the good stuff."
"Do you branch out from wine as well?" Still with that hint of genuine smile. She made for good dinner company. Or just good company in general, and he was trying to do the same. "...for what it's worth, Thor was also dating a Doctor. A scientist--Jane Foster."
"I most certainly wouldn't. I'd be bored quickly and nobody wants that." With a wicked grin. "Mead is the honey one yes, but if you don't believe we have our own dullards in Asgard or among the Vanir as well, you're sorely mistaken."
"And so far, you succeed. Or I wouldn't respond or simply not show up." With a tilt of his head in acknowledgement. "Mead and Wine are traditional on Asgard though, which is why I asked. While I'm certain I COULD find a good alcohol or two on Midgard, I'd be playing it far more loosely than usual."

"Why? You don't even like humans all that much, why bother with this planet in particular?"
