"Even if we did, there will still probably be formal arrangements and a ceremony. If only because I'm royal." She's beautiful, and Loki leaned in to kiss her again. They were both still clad in their Asgardian finery too.
Loki chuckles too, and brings his right hand up to stroke her cheek. "I suppose I do have one last gift for you then." Pausing, and smiling softly at her. "I love you."
"I'd planned on it, yes." Loki murmured, stealing one more kiss and holding it. Soft, lovingly and purposefully projecting love this time. Letting her feel it in all the good and bad.
Loki wraps his mind around her own, cradling it (and her) as the precious gift she was. One he cherished. Who knows how long they stayed like that, just savoring each other via lips and soft touches and mental caresses.
But eventually they needed to part, and Loki is careful of his crown as he leaned his forehead against her own. "We should change for the ball, my Sweetling."
"I think we can manage that, my Sweetling." Loki murmured, leaning in for one more kiss. Keeping it quick and soft and sweet. He kept hold of her hand, and lead the way back to the bedroom, and their closet.
It was a very stripped down form of his armor, so it didn't take much work. There are lots of soft touches as he helps her out of her own Asgardian garb. He'd picked out a dark black 3 piece suit, with a deep emerald green shirt. Again there was the gold half-circular tie-clip pinning the black tie.
Loki nodded, moving to place the necklace on her, and caressing her neck while he did so. Leaning to whisper in her ear, she can probably hear the hybrid smile/smirk. "My Love."
"Surprisingly not, as we've also banned cameras and already issued official statements for any press." Fortunately the ball was being held on the Statesman too, so could be restricted.
"It's meant to be." Loki responded, and then he was bowing in turn as she curstied. "My Lady." Just as serious, but also genuine. Before taking her hand.
