"Your love?"
She sounded scornful, which was odd as she was the primary recipient of it.

"Yes," he said, rushing toward her, bright and boyish and beaming. "This is- everything you talked about, we can do it now-"

Loki shook his head and took her hands, a little more bewildered-looking now but still nearly glowing with excitement.
"The difference, beloved, is I will let you guide my hand in every detail-"
