They truly don't, and he is glad to get out of them. The shower is quick, and he's only wearing a towel---they are his rooms after all. "Bless you, Sweetling." He says gratefully, taking the glass with one hand and reaching to wrap an arm around her waist with the other. Pulling her close and honestly glad to be back in her presence.
A blink, and he looks down. "...I must've. I didn't think they hit that hard, honestly." Loki wasn't sure whether he was impressed or annoyed. "I did play patsy a few times, and left a few illusions of things looking worse. Now it's just waiting for things to implode." Much as he didn't want to, he's pulling away and turning around slowly to let her see if there are anymore.
"Christine..." Loki started to say, feeling her magic come into play. "...You really don't have to do that, you know?" Softly, but appreciatively. Appreciating her, and pulling her close once more. "Thank you Sweetling."
"I hope not to give you more need to practice it." Nuzzling her forehead and kissing her hair. "Now tell me how your own assignment went. I imagine Sif expected more trouble than you both had, yes?" Leading her towards the bed.
Even if all they do is sleep, it's likely she'll be slipping out of more clothing than just her trousers. At least, if Loki has any choice in the matter. "No doubt a few of them expected Sif to be ready to lead a charge against those who would try and oppress us, I can imagine. Or wondered why our king hasn't?"
Finishing the wine and placing the glass nearby, he reaches for her. Folding her closer and wrapping his arms around her. "It is fortunate, as sad as it is, that our remaining people are not soldiers."
"A few did seem very eager for a fight." It is fairly likely that the rest of her clothes will be tossed aside as well. They have a habit of being entitely unable to not be skin to skin.
"That would have been seen as more of an invasion." She wraps herself up in his embrace.

"You're welcome. I'm happy to practice my healing."

She slips out of her trousers before sliding into bed.
