She appreciates Heimdall's sense of humor. Jokes about stabbing seem to be commonplace when Loki is involved.

"Christine Palmer." She doesn't have any fancy titles to add to it. She's very normal overall.

While people may be trying to be a bit more subtle, she can tell they are all still trying to get a glimpse of the excitement.

[whose_son_am_i]

"Doctor Christine Palmer." Loki said, although he kept his tone neutral. That he'd insisted on it at all was telling and he knew it. But he could find no good reason she shouldn't have the honor of her proper title.

"A pleasure, Doctor Palmer." Heimdall replied with a nod before pausing. Then giving a little nod to himself. "I'll buy you some time, but I hope you and that silver tongue are prepared, Trickster. You might have to actually be honest about all of this." It wasn't said unkindly--it was Heimdall's way of offering advice. And a hint that he approved.

"Damn." Loki just said quietly if firmly, reading between the lines easily. That meant Thor was on his way. Immediately he just....vanished from perception. Christine hadn't felt the spell drop--although she would a moment later when her perception of him reappeared with the same spell washing over her. If Heimdall noticed he said nothing, merely nodded to where they had been and stopped to wait for his King.

Loki kept walking, albeit at a slightly quicker pace.

[drpalmer]

She's surrounded by gods, she didn't think the title was all that impressive, but she is actually flattering Loki insists on it.

Even she can guess that his brother must be on the way, no one else would have the audacity to demand answers from the prince.

And then he dissappears, which for a moment leaves her eyes a bit wide. Not fair.

He's back and she can feel the magic cover her as well. With sensible shoes she has no problem keeping up with him.

sorry the appology washes through her mind. She didn't mean to cause quite so much trouble.

[whose_son_am_i]

"Don't be." Loki said softly, reaching over to give her hand a squeeze where it rested against his arm. A half-grin came to him and blue-green eyes shifted her way. "Or do. I am so terribly inconvenienced. However will you make it up to me?" Teasing her, although he also would not mind.

[drpalmer]

It's just a moment before she laughs.

"Might need to wait a little on that. I think you've got a thunder god brother who is going to want to talk to you first."

[whose_son_am_i]

There is a long suffering sigh, but its clear in his eyes he's amused. "How long did you want to stay?" His mind was already turning with various possibilities and plans. Had been for the duration of their walk. She essentially had nothing but whatever was on her person while at work.

[drpalmer]

"I could call off for the rest of the week. Since I may only see you once every few months." She might as well make it worth it.

At least if he's alright with spending that much time with her.

[whose_son_am_i]

"And that won't make trouble for you?" They could easily manage a week. "How...public, do you want our relationship to be?"

[drpalmer]

"It won't. I don't use all that much of my vacation time."

She glances at him, a bit amused.

"Well, it looks like all of New Asgard already knows." She presses a tiny kiss to his cheek. "I'm not at all ashamed or worried about being seen with you."

[whose_son_am_i]

"It has been a bit of an open-secret here that I exist and am on planet. In New Asgard at least." Loki replied, warming inside at the kiss. "Am I finding you a room near mine, or are you sharing mine?" He had a suite of rooms--and while it didn't compare to Asgard's palace, it was nice enough for what it was.

They had reached the Statesman, it's landing bridge extended and open. Leading upwards into the interior, it was clear that the ship was an active hub of activity. Not least of which because it was where most of the Asgardian refugees still lived while housing and space was found for them elsewhere. Within, it was well-lit, with people bustling about.

[drpalmer]

"But you brought home a girl." She chuckles, "that's very exciting, I guess."

She likes walking in secret with him, the magic glistening around them.

"Different rooms would just be a hastle, wouldn't it?" They both know well enough one or the other would be sneaking between them anyway.

It's her first time on a spaceship, the thing is quite impressive, like a very high tech cruise ship.

[whose_son_am_i]

More like an ark of sorts, but the comparison is still apt. It is nice to walk down the halls and not be troubled or noticed. "Maybe I like the idea of clandestine encounters." Loki teased, as they were clearly moving into the nicer area of the ship. Larger cabins or sets of rooms, many resembling large board rooms from an office, or other meeting spaces.

[drpalmer]

"If you want to sneak into my room, I guess that can be arranged."

It's not very clandestine if the whole city seems to know about them already.

"Oh, or I could lock my doors and keep you out." She teases, as if he wouldn't be able to pick the locks with magic or otherwise.

[whose_son_am_i]

Loki didn't do sentiment---so why had he missed this?

His rooms it was, as that would guarantee her a measure of privacy in other ways.

"As you've likely guessed, the town can't handle the influx of our numbers so easily. Many of us still live and conduct business on the Statesman, while we work on integrating." Back to a more serious topic. "...Our people only have what they were able to flee with. I can't promise you much luxury from my home."

[drpalmer]

Because her teasing is wonderful and he's lucky to be on the receiving end of it?

"I'm just here in scrubs with my phone. As long as I can wash clothes and shower, I don't need luxury." She's done some volunteer work in underdeveloped places as a doctor, if they've got hot water and food, she's fine.

[whose_son_am_i]

"That, we can guarantee at least." They could likely handle clothing---he could handle that if nothing else. Modify Earth garments if she wanted. Clothing had been one of the more common purchases the Asgardian's had made, and many were modifying it to be a blend of Earth and Asgardian style.

The halls were quieter in this part of the ship, and Loki dropped the veiling spell that concealed them. And startled a maid, her hair braided elegantly on her head. "A-Apologies, my Lord." More for her startlement.

"I have a guest staying with me." Loki replied smoothly. "She'll be staying for about a week, and like many of us, has come with only what she has on her." The maid nodded, although she was now intensely curious about his guest. "Please make her comfortable, and attend to her needs." A curtsey was given in response, to show she understood.

"Better I be the one to go initiate an unwelcome conversation with our King, than him coming to me." Loki replied, turning his attention back to Christine. "Relax, rest, and hopefully this won't take more than an hour or two."

[drpalmer]

Oh, all the formality feels strange. It's easy to forget that he actually is a Prince, and that here he is treated as such.

"Go through all your books and enjoy myself, got it." Being left in his rooms will inevitably be a bit like leaving him in her apartment. Of course she's going to do a little snooping.

She wonders if it's surprising to the maid to hear someone talk to Loki the way she does.

[whose_son_am_i]

If it is surprising, the maid isn't letting on. "When you're ready, milady?" Dagny, the maid, prompted. Politely ignoring and not-seeing things that she shouldn't.

Loki offered a wry grin. "Sadly I don't have any books in my rooms, but you're welcome to snoop anyways. I'm confident I've hidden everything that shouldn't be found." Before removing her arm, and trusting her care to the maid. Striding off to go find Thor and have a very uncomfortable discussion.

Dagny was quiet, but also intensely curious. Leading the way to Loki's rooms, and when they arrived... It was a nice set of rooms. Perhaps not as large as could be, but he had 3 clear rooms to himself which was a luxury on a spaceship. They entered first into a large sitting room, in shades of dark-grey with warm lighting.

"Will you be needing anything, milady? Besides a change of clothing?"

[drpalmer]

Well, it's strange to treated so formally.

"I absolutely will." Of course she will snoop, it's irresistible.

"Thank you." Christine hasn't ever really been waited on. "You can call me Christine if you'd like."

Christine, once in the rooms is looking around, everything has that look that she would expect from Loki's space. And there is a hum of magic from whatever protective spells he has placed.

"Just clothes, thank you."

[whose_son_am_i]

Dagny nodded. "I can draw milady Christine a bath, if that would be wanted?"

It was neat and organized, mostly because there wasn't much stuff yet. There were sheaves of papers on a table, maps and notes, and drafts of boring paperwork. Also, giving lie to his earlier words, a book or three. Nothing too exciting though--history books of Earth, particularly America and Europe, along with a general world-history.

Inspecting further into the rooms would reveal the bathroom was connected to the bedroom. Containing a bath and a shower, the bath a good size to stretch out in. Towels were prominent in a soft brown shade with gold embroidery. The bed was also a very good size to stretch out on, with that same soft brown shades, accented with green.

[drpalmer]

"A bath would be wonderful, thank you."

Christine is exploring, carefully picking up the history books one by one with a little smile. Her fingers brush over his notes, it's the first time she's seen his handwriting.

She can imagine the colors are similar as to what his rooms must have looked like back on Asgard.

Now that bathtub is really beautiful, and absolutely big enough for two people and Christine can see the pair of them soaking together sometime this week.

[whose_son_am_i]

"Of course Milady." Dagny bobbed a curtsy, before moving to start the water running. Warm-hot, before she moved to gather more towels from a nearby closet. "Would you like me to leave clothing for you in the bedroom?" Otherwise she'd poke her head into the bathroom to do so. Dagny wasn't entirely sure of the protocol in this case.

[drpalmer]

"That would be fine." Christine nods.

"What's your name?" Its the type of person Christine is that she actually both wants to know and will remember everyone's names.

[whose_son_am_i]

"Dagny, Milady." It was a simple reply, towels placed near the bath before the maid turned her attention to her more fully. "Will there be anything else? Would you like help?"

[drpalmer]

"I'll be fine from here, thank you Dagny."

Christine is eager to have a nice relaxing bath while she waits for Loki to return. She's been holding some tension in her back since the attack.
