"Any servant can help and guide you here until you learn the way, if I'm not available. You're a guest, Christine, and this room will be open to you." Truthfully most places would be open to her within the palace. Anywhere she was not to go likely would have guards.
Loki hmm'd to himself, before knowing what HE considered the best view. "It's a walk." He warned her, although they wouldn't be leaving the palace quite yet to get there.
That just made him snort. "If you want a horse, it seems easier to use the stables." Teasing her, but getting to his feet anyways. Keeping their hands joined as he lead the way out of the library and into the halls.
Loki's smile was amused, and he deliberately leaned in to her ear while they walked. "Christine, if you're to ride me, I have a better way you could do so." Teasing her, especially since it was a quick comment and then he was pulling away enough they could walk easily.
Through hallways, up an occasional staircase, before heading almost in the same direction as the throne-room from before. Leading her to what seemed at first to be a small room set in a column, with a gate across the front of it--of all things, it was an elevator. In the same style as everything else, with a panel, golden lines of magic and technology fused.
There weren't many, but there were a few located around. Also a few sweeping and grand staircases, as they'd already used one to get TO the Throne room. Up they went, several floors passing by that she could see through the grating. When they stopped, she would step out into another hallway, and Loki was leading her down it a short ways to a large circular room when they entered. Lavishly appointed with covered furniture and solid wooden desks and tables. Candle-lamps along the wall at different spaces, and like a few other rooms, it was open to a balcony that extended outward.
Where one could see a full view of Asgard below, almost clearly to Himinbjorg if one followed the bifrost (which from this height truly resembled a moving and shifting rainbow) and a clear view of the Asgardian sky. At night, all the stars would be visible and easily seen.
"That is how your myths describe it, Christine." Loki had an amused smile on his face, fond as well. "You weren't really in a state to appreciate it on the trip here. We'll fix that on the way back."
Again that soft chuckle, as she doesn't have to pull too hard. Letting his arm wind around her waist, close enough she could use him for support if needed. "Meetings, research and stargazing, occasional lounging." In the center of the room on the inside was a fire place, to help keep it warmer in winter.
"I really hope you don't expect me to dignify that with a response." Still so very amused. "I will come up here to think when I need to do so away from others."
"You reminded me of your hedonism not ten minutes ago." She teases right back. With his age he's sure to have taken more lovers then she has, but neither is a blushing virgin.
"Yes, but I'm still not confirming or denying your suspicions now am I?" Reaching up with one hand to tap her nose. "You asked for the best view. This, in my opinion, is it."
Again that soft chuckle, and she'll feel the smile against her hair. "I do like when you say my name like that." Playful, soft, the hand not around her waist coming up to stroke her hair soothingly. "We could just as easily go to the dinner hall, if you'd want that too." Or to his rooms, but he was having fun teasing her.
"Not yet, although we did skip lunch." Loki replied, breath puffing her hair as his mouth was still against her forehead. "I don't recommend you skip dinner, even if our breakfasts are hardy."

She's happy to continue holding his hand while they walk.
Totes deciding there is a stylized elevator b/c ALL THOSE STEPS! My GOD!!!

they have magic and all
The walk is long but Christine has good stamina from running around a hospital all the time. Though she is glad to step into a magical elevator.
besides have you SEEN HOW TALL THE PALACE IS?!

very tall, much regal
She moves to the windows and the balcony, and she is in awe. He absolutely brought her to the best view.
"The bridge is a rainbow." She nods.
Mythic City and world and all that...

Especially with that view, and that firepit. The room just screams that it's the sort of place to bring someone to impress them.

Two can play at this game. Though eventually one of them (likely Christine) is going to burst.
