"We don't, Sweetling. And Seiưr is not an art I know." As Loki often said--he was NOT a witch. He had no more means to tell the future than anyone else. Quiet for a bit, just studying her with blue-green eyes. Seeming to stare into her soul, before kissing her softly.
I won't stop you looking, and will look myself--but I won't risk your safety or life without an extremely good reason.
Good. Now the book was set aside, so his other hand could come and stroke her cheek and hair. Letting that kiss turn deeper once more. This time he wasn't projecting, but was simply trying to show her with actions, how he felt.
She was welcomed, and he wound his arms around her more securely. The sentiment touched him, inside--whether she'd meant to wield it as a weapon or not, she had. She made him bleed...and Loki knew, when she was gone---it would hurt.
Was love really worth it? Something that had been unconsciously turning in his mind. Tiptoed around, as he wasn't sure he could admit it to himself. He was a talented liar...especially to himself.
I know you would be okay. You're incredibly strong.
She would even hope for him to find someone else now that his heart was open, of course that idea did make her a bit jealous. Maybe he would find that wife he had in the myths.
It is something I try to not think about...losing you. Strong or not, her loss would hurt him. And right now especially, the last thing I want is to think about losing you.
Turning the kiss deeper, with need in it. To forget, to affirm life, to simply be with her.
She doesn't want to think about it either, they will both turn focus to the now, to their kiss.
Christine draws her fingers through his hair, keeping him close. She wasn't going to let him go without a fight, even if the ultimate battle is with her own mortality.
Soon enough, the book is entirely forgotten. One hand moves lower against her hip, fingers splayed possessively. The other moves to her chin and jaw, stroking softly as he pulled away to speak. Only enough to speak. "My Sweetling." A lover's tone, and an implied question of what she wanted now.
He does enjoy encouraging her mischief, even if it's a bit harder on him. Loki easily returns the kiss, trying without words to persuade her and tempt her further. Especially as the hand stroking her face moved; first to cup her neck, teasing against her pulse points with his fingers, then down along her collarbone. It finally ended up at her breasts, where he let his fingers play in all the ways she enjoyed against her skin.
When her head goes back, his goes forward to nuzzle and kiss along her neck. Deep kisses, needy, marking her a new. While still teasing her breasts and belly. Loki had learned the feel of her magic over him awhile ago, but it never ceased to amaze him. "My Sweetling-sorceress." He praised against her ear.
"It wasn't a complaint at all." He leans into her touches, moving to kiss her palm and fingers. His own hand moved lower along her body, down to let clever fingers play where she might want them most.
"Personally I find it quite satisfying and attractive that you're rather dangerous now." Loki murmured against her skin. Teasing her, seeking to draw more gasps and sighs. "And I'm proud of how far you've come."
"I do have a rather well-known tendency to look for trouble. Or create it, if I can't find any." Loki teased, still pressing kisses against her skin and nuzzling her hair. Never stopping his teasing or playing of her center.
"Good trouble, hmm?" Loki teased softly. She could feel the sly smile against her skin. Letting his fingers tease further, enter her, thumb seeking her center. "Oh? Where's my confident and in control sorceress?" Playfully teasing and loving.
"What good is a trickster who doesn't play tricks?" Loki murmured, nipping at her ear. One last teasing brush of her center, before his hand moved to join his other at her hip. Just holding her there with casual strength, enough that she couldn't move. Teasing her just a bit more.

"And the god that encouraged me to be stronger."
It's because of him that she's a formidable force now, with his training and encouragement.
