You *are* stronger than most suspect. It often surprises me briefly, still--though I don't mean that to sound as condescending as it does. It is a pleasant surprise, and part of why I've fallen so hard for you.
It was equally as likely that the photos would be personal keepsakes, as that some would appear in the papers and news. Unfortunately, Loki couldn't take out the cameras without taking out other electronics.
Sadly no. They're camouflaging themselves well so far. But I plan to keep more of an eye out now. I've already been somewhat alert and wary still. Loki offers her a smile as she grins. If you think you can manage it, perhaps a general 'suggestion' to the crowd that cameras are not needed. We could do so together.
Focus on a slight feeling of shame, but overall a feeling of not wanting to miss-out as it were. I'll handle the wording. Loki likewise was gathering the spell and energy. Be prepared to follow my lead in the dance as it will be easiest to cast that way.
Waiting for Christine to be ready, whereupon Loki smiled, nodded, and moved to twirl her in a soft spin. Using the motion to free a hand to cast subtly--it would be easier with a gesture given the size of the group they wanted to effect. Christine would also hear him suggesting that the cameras should be put away--there were better things to do.
It is new for Loki to cast with a partner, but it feels right with Christine. She's pulled back in as if nothing had happened beyond the dance move. As they continue around the floor, Loki lets a little satisfied smile come to his face as most of the cameras he'd spotted are no longer there.
There is at least one intrepid guest who'd resisted the suggestion, and Christine will feel Loki's fingers shift against her back. There is a slight kerfluffle as that camera turns into a glass of something, which startled its owner. Nor could Loki help the slight chuckle.
Took care of a camera from someone particularly strong-willed. Loki's tone was entirely matter-of-fact. I turned it into a glass with a drink, instead of snakes. Which was my first impulse, but would be quite obvious.
Wouldn't do to be boring, now would it? With amusement and a deliberate caress of her mind. You *do* look absolutely beautiful. And the cape helped conceal my casting quite nicely.
*I* certainly won't be anytime soon, and I am okay with that. Loki's mental voice was filled with soft laughter and amusement. Besides, I've heard that Doctors of your caliber are considered heroes already many times. With clear pride for her.
Moving them towards the edge of the dance floor, where it was easier for them to then exit to find a table. "Go find a seat, Christine. I'll bring us something to drink."
Brunhilde had attended in a very sharp, tailored suit instead of a gown. She smiled at Christine when the other sat down, and had a glass over her own. "Ah, you two finally going public?"
"He hasn't exactly been subtle, nor have you." Brunhilde replied. "At least at first, we might've all just thought it a whim. Glad to see it wasn't. He needs someone to occupy him to keep the rest of us from dealing with him."

They are truly imposing pair, incredibly strong together.

Shall we get a drink? I saw champagne flutes.
