She grabbed onto his ornate lapel.
"No, I don't mean it, stay-"

He startled.
"Darling- Darling, I'm not going anywhere-"

She wrapped her arms around him and lay her head down.
"Just take me to the bed and hold me until the world stops moving-"

He brought her over to the bed and lay her out on the coverlet. A few shafts of light fell through the heavy curtains at the window, but all was otherwise still except the light in the copper wall sconces casting flickers over the groin-vaulted ceiling.
The bed itself was low, and surprisingly ordinary. Loki stretched himself out beside her without quite lying down and looked around.
"You know," he said, "I think this might be the first time I've ever had a lover in here."

He laughed gently and caressed her hand.

"Wait, this was your bedroom even growing up?"
Teja sat straight up and looked around with a keener eye.

"Well, eventually," he said, following her gaze.

The decor seemed shabby but meticulous; there were things she hadn't noticed, tapestries, piles of books in gold and glass cases; she looked back at him. "We're in your room," she said giddily.

"Such as it is," he said, embarrassed despite himself.

She looked back at him. "Did you ever fantasize about bringing a girl back here?"

"No-"
He said this so quickly that he caught himself and repeated, in a gentler tone, "No, actually. I... was not particularly fond of the idea of letting anyone else in here."

"Can you do that thing where you show me the past? Like a Loki hologram?"

"And make you call off the marriage here and now?"
