Everything is beautiful but the library is spectacular.

She's wandering around it wide eyed.

"You spent a lot of time in here, didn't you?" She would do exactly the same.

From:

whose_son_am_i

"I did when I could." Loki had moved to take a seat, just watching her as she moved and appreciated the space. "When I was younger, it was one of my favorite places to be with my mother."

From:

drpalmer

"I would have been in here all the time." She traces her fingers over some of the spines of the books before picking one and opening it to see what the inside looks like.

From:

whose_son_am_i

"Oh I was quite active as a child too, in addition to getting the same schooling as my brother. We were raised as princes should be." Loki had a fond smile as he watched her. The book she'd picked had more runes, and lavish illustrations that almost seemed to move. Some skimming of it would give her the idea it was another history book.

From:

drpalmer

"But for a quiet place to sneak away to." This would be it.

The way the illustrations seem to move looks like magic and as she turns the pages she feels almost a humming in her fingertips.

"Is it magic? Is that what I'm feeling?"

From:

whose_son_am_i

That made Loki chuckle. "Yes and no. Science and Magic are one and the same here, so it is magic in the way you mean. But also simply the way the illustrations were painted."

From:

drpalmer

"It makes my fingers buzz. Tiny bees in my fingertips."

She wonders if this is something that comes with magic, a new sense to tell where magic is.

From:

whose_son_am_i

"Even with the binding, I suspect you'll be incredibly sensitive to it for a few days still. Learning to use a new sense."

From:

drpalmer

"You have magic, will I be able to feel you?"

She slips the book back into it's spot.

From:

whose_son_am_i

That brought a laugh and teasing grin. "Did you feel anything earlier?" With an eyebrow raise. Loki was heavily shielded.

From:

drpalmer

"No. Bit I also didn't think to look."

She moves to sit next to him, a hand reaching out to touch him, to see if her new sense can pick up on the magic in him.

From:

whose_son_am_i

Loki let her move to touch, bringing his hands to join hers. Blue-green eyes held laughter and amusement, and that teasing grin remained. She wouldn't sense anything--again, he was heavily shielded.

From:

drpalmer

She looks like she's in heavy concentration, trying to figure out if she can tune her sense to him.

She frowns.

"I can't feel anything from you."

From:

whose_son_am_i

"That's because I'm shielded, Christine." Loki responded with a hint of laugh. Then, where his hand held hers, he let mage energy come forward. Deep greenish-yellow, she'd be able to feel projection.

From:

drpalmer

It makes sense that he would be well shielded, he's had centuries of practice.

She sees the glow and feels it at the same time. A tiny 'oh' escapes her lips. It's not like the faint buzz, it's more like a wave of warmth that spreads from her hand upwards.

"It feels really pleasant."

From:

whose_son_am_i

"It's because it's active, rather than passive." Loki said as his grin morphed into a smile. Reaching up his other hand to brush her cheek again. "You'll learn, Christine."

From:

drpalmer

"I don't know, maybe it's just because it's you." She moves to be able to kiss him. That warm sensation still lingers a bit even though he isn't actively projecting anymore.

From:

whose_son_am_i

"Sentiment Christine..." Loki murmured against her mouth, letting that mage energy fade. "If anything, I should be cold. I'm a frost giant." Spoken in between soft kisses and little nuzzles.

From:

drpalmer

"If I'm your lover, you'll need to allow me a bit of sentiment." It's unavoidable for Christine to be fond and caring. She will have some sentiment.

She isn't sure what a frost giant is.

"You're not that tall." She teases.

From:

whose_son_am_i

"You're right. I'm a runt and was apparently abandoned and left to die, from what Odin said." Loki leaned his forehead against hers, eyes closed. Close, so he could speak, but no longer between kisses. "I'm the biological son of Laufey, the deceased king of the Jotun."

She would have a LOT to learn about why that was all significant. The Frost Giants were one of the most ancient enemies of the Asgardians, besides the dark elves. Loki's voice as he spoke was carefully neutral.

From:

drpalmer

Well, that got more involved then she expected.

She moves both hands to cradle his face.

"So you were adopted by Odin?" She tries to stay just as neutral, she doesn't want to say the wrong thing.

From:

whose_son_am_i

Leaning into her touch, one hand moving to cover hers. "I am. I...did not find out in a good way." Still carefully neutral. Before she could respond though, he was leaning in to kiss her softly.

From:

drpalmer

There is a tenderness in her kiss, as if she is apologizing for the hurt he's been through. It is the easiest way to express such sentiment without being chastised for it.

From:

whose_son_am_i

It had also been the easiest way to end the discussion. Or at least that trail of it. He'd given her a very gentle chastisement, as he didn't really do sentiment. Loki couldn't stop her from being sentimental though.

The kiss goes on longer than he'd meant, soft emotions in it that he usually did not express well.

From:

drpalmer

He had brought it up, it was obviously important enough for Christine to know about.

When she pulls away, she's mischievous.

"Being the prince, no one would question you if we just went at it in the library."
