"....Thank you. It is a precious gift, Christine." Thank you--this is why your soul burns like a star. Loki still didn't feel worth--but he was making an oath to himself. He would be worthy of her love, at least. And not even he broke oaths blithely.
Calmer now, and no little tired, but he wasn't letting her go. "Among my people...when we die, our souls can become stars. It happened to Mother, and to Father." So that she might know why he used the compliment he did for her--and what he meant by it.
His compliment makes more sense now and is incredibly flattering.
It sounds beautiful, sad, of course, but really lovely.
Then you give me a great compliment.
She doesn't let him go but she does start to walk them to the bedroom. There was a good bit of emotional exertion and even she is a little tired from it.
The emotional exertion has been more exhausting than anything else. He moves with her for a few steps, before scoffing slightly. To once more pick her up and carry her to the bedroom. Nothing in it other than a need for companionship, and to treat her well. So very ready to curl up with her, perhaps chat or perhaps simply to exist.
"Were I human, I doubt you'd be heavy." But it brings a bit of a laugh from him as well. Once they're curled in bed, he brings her hand up to kiss. Then stretches them both together up--his over hers, teaching her wordlessly how to project an illusion. As if her bedroom has faded, and they're lying together under the stars.

You've always been worthy of love.
