"Would you be happier, able to sample... others?" he asked slowly.

"I don't know," she asked, faintly aghast. "You're my first."

"I'm giving you the choice," Loki declared. "I will dismiss him if it should please you."

"How marvelous of you to remove all responsibility from it and put it all on me," she said moodily, glaring at him.
It occurred to her that, though she did not know what was up and did not assume romantic interest in Krolock's part - definitely not, and it wasn't on hers - having an open relationship would make seeking out other company more explainable - on the surface, anyway.
"If you want to be with Fandral then do it but don't pin it all on me. It's not my decision, it's yours, don't be lazy about it."

"I didn't mean it as an relinquishing of responsibility!" Loki said, making a frustrated fist and then releasing it. "I only meant- never mind. I suppose I'll tell you how it goes when I see you tonight."
It sounded far more salacious than he'd intended, but at this point he didn't care.

"And I guess that I will tell you if I want to be in an open relationship after my date with Graf von Krolock," she shot back at him.

"Your what?"
His distaste was evident.
"But he's ancient for a Midgardian-"

"Well, in five years I'm going to look older than you! And it will be another thirty years before I look older than him, so I guess he has the advantage!"

Loki stared at her for a moment, shut his mouth, and his image vanished.
Back in the apartment, he stood, still half-dressed and unglamoured, and returned wordlessly to Fandral, whom he greeted by pressing a forceful kiss to his mouth and pushing him backward onto the bed again.

Teja stared, realizing what she'd just said, something she hadn't even dared to consciously think, let alone voice to her boyfriend. Fiance. Boyfriend?
Would he want to marry her after this? Did she really want to marry him?
She wanted to be happy for him, because the idea that he could find someone who was of the same culture of him and who would age the same way was important to her. But she couldn't feel anything but a strong desire to scream and cry. This was swiftly becoming the day from hell.

Fandral responded in kind with surprise and fervour.
