Work room it was then, as he lead her to one of the more normal single doors. This time simple wood with gilt etchings in it of various flora and fauna. Inside was almost as large as the main sitting room, with more bookshelves along one and a half walls (and more than just books on them). It was windowless, with no fireplace, but lit by a central chandelier and some wall-candle-lamps. A long sturdy table made up the other wall next to a bookcase, with a comfy chair tucked in. It might surprise her to find Loki had a modern laptop with a mobile charger ready and waiting for him to use. There were also stacks of papers and writing tools. Against one wall was a large tapestry depicting the nine-realms and Yggsdrasil, with the realms nestled in its branches; a map. Besides books, there were a few other esoteric items on the shelves--mostly bowls or some closed pitchers. Along the last wall there was also a large wooden storage trunk, and an apothecary's cabinet.

[drpalmer]

The room is as elegant and beautiful as she was expecting.

"The laptop is a surprise, actually. What do you keep as your background? Is it a photo of yourself?"

[whose_son_am_i]

"You know, I think I'll keep it a secret." With a wry grin. "It's likely we'll do at least some of your magical lessoning in here."

[drpalmer]

"And I'll figure out how to sneak a photo of myself as your background." She laughs.

Christine moves into the room to touch a few of the books.

[whose_son_am_i]

What writing there was, was in runes mostly. But she'll find a modern history of Midgard or three among them as well. Some books were entirely blank, as well. Much like himself, none of the books reacted as 'magical' to Christine's new senses.

Loki simply let her look, hands going behind his back and at rest.

[drpalmer]

She seems content to just browse a moment before she returns to him.

"I like it. I'd want a window, personally, but it's really nice in here."

[whose_son_am_i]

"The lack of window helps contain any mishaps that might occur. This is also one of the most heavily shielded rooms in the Palace." He'd made it so himself, which was probably why she wasn't picking up any magic.

[drpalmer]

"That makes sense. It'll be the best place to contain me when I try to control mine."

She trusts him as a teacher.

"It feels like nothing. I know this room must be absolutely full of magic, but I don't feel any of it. Your shields are really good."

[whose_son_am_i]

"I've worked hard for them to be so." Loki replied, simply stating it as fact. "There are better workrooms as well, and a few more heavily shielded, but I am most comfortable in this one." Reaching for her hand, thumb brushing the skin. "And since I'm to be your primary teacher for now..."

[drpalmer]

"I trust you." She takes his hand to follow him to whatever room he decides to lead her to.

She knows he is going to do everything he can to train her. While she knows he would kill her if he had to, she's confident it would be an absolute last resort; even for Loki.

[whose_son_am_i]

It was strange how she could have so much trust in him. He was well known for treachery after all. He had changed--grown in good ways. But it was only recent--the weight of older sins and flaws still bearing down hard.

The room opposite the work room turned out to be the bathing room. It wasn't dissimilar to her own, save the tub was in the center of the room, raised up along the sides then indented into the floor. A long oblong perfect to stretch out in, there were built in seats along shorter side as well. Where hers had brown accents, his had green. Again there was likewise a luxurious shower with glass doors, and that built in seating. Small jars and toiletries could be seen along a shelf within, as well as more along the lip of the tub or at the main counter. In here there was a large latticed window along one wall, with a heavy curtain that could be closed if needed. The view from it showed some of the palace grounds.

[drpalmer]

Christine is the trusting type, and despite his reputation she sees something genuine in the way he is around her.

She will let go of him to go to one of the little jars to open it and give it a sniff. The corners of her lips turn up, it's the familar smell of his hair, just in it's stronger form.

[whose_son_am_i]

Wintry and hints of bitter-sweet.

"Inspecting my toiletries?" Loki teased with a smile.

[drpalmer]

"Yes. Wanted to see what they smell like before you've traveled so far to visit."

She returns to him with a little grin.

[whose_son_am_i]

More laughter, Loki bringing her hand up to kiss playfully. Though he didn't let go of it either. "All that's left is the bedroom." His head canted to one side in question.

[drpalmer]

Her heartrate picks up, she is actually a tiny bit nervous. With all the teasing around it, she somehow never expected to actually make it to his bed.

"Show me." The hint of nerves don't stand in the way of her desire though.

[whose_son_am_i]

"Nervous? I thought this was where you wanted to be?" Loki squeezed their joined hands, before leaning in to kiss by her ear softly. "Relax, Christine. When I seduce you, I'll do it properly." Perhaps a little teasing, but promising her as well.

[drpalmer]

"Oh, I very much want to be here." But her expectations are high and she suspects his are as well.

"Have you not been seducing me all day?"

[whose_son_am_i]

"No, actually. Just teasing you." With an impish grin.

[drpalmer]

"Really? No desire at all to postpone dinner for a while?"

She's halfway tempted to drag the man to his bed.

[whose_son_am_i]

"That depends on you, Christine." Bringing their joined hands up and nuzzling hers. "If they bring the food and it gets cold because we're occupied, that's not my fault."

[drpalmer]

"You're telling me with all your magical talents, you can't warm food back up?" She looks very skeptical about it.

[whose_son_am_i]

Again that soft chuckle, and Loki leaned in to kiss her softly. Sweetly, moving to weave their fingers together. Holding it for several moments, before breaking it and leading her to the last doorway. Ylfa would know what to do...

The room within had its own fireplace, the bed again sumptuously appointed in brown and black and big enough for 3 people at least, tables on each side. There was a proper wardrobe, and near by a wooden humnanoid figure wearing familiar (yet different) armor and a horned helmet. It was a recreation of course but fully functional. Loki had been wearing his original set when he'd fallen from the Bifrost, let go of Gungnir. A dresser was not far from that. There were easy chairs, with room to spread ones legs out. A half-bookcase that also doubled as a table near the chairs. Folded against one of the chairs was another fur blanket that looked easily large enough for 3 to cuddle within.

[drpalmer]

Christine is immediately taken by the armor. She never considered how one would store their armor, she moves to the mannequin to touch the leather of his armor.

"I'm going to try on those horns sometime." It's almost a warning, with a mischievous little smile before she returns to him.

Her nerves have subsided, now that she's actually here in his bedroom, she lets her desire come to the surface.

[whose_son_am_i]

"You could try them on now, if you wanted." Loki replied with an answering smile. "I will warn you, it's heavy."
