He noticed and paused, turning to rub his hand over her anxious fingers and smiling again.

She smiled tremulously, feeling that he was already lightyears away, and it was one of his echoes that stood beside her - an idea which was not even impossible, and not something that would surprise her coming from him.

"...if you want to go home," he began, "or... somewhere else where my brother can't find us-"

"No," she said in a short tone of voice. "I'm fine here, thanks."

"I didn't mean just for tonight, " he said faintly.

"Leaving," he said. "Really leaving, going somewhere- not here, where I don't have to think about the throne-"
He reached for her hand, looking concerned.

"I know I'm useless at pretending to be mortal, " he admitted, "but I needn't always. I do have the means to take care of you, if I use the methods I'm accustomed to-"

"Ah, Miss Johnson, how good to see you," said a voice from behind where Loki stood.
Graf von Krolock came striding toward them both, a black mask with a long hooked nose in his hand alongside a barely - touched flute of champagne. He looked a bit less pallid than the last time he and Teja had spoken, which carried its own ghastly implications, but he seemed to be in unusual good spirits.

Teja was flushed at the realization that outburst had probably been overheard by Johannes, and she hoped he could not smell the blood that had risen to her face. Her eyes flitted back to Loki's glamoured-green ones, then to Johannes again. He seemed pleasant, at least. She extended her gloved hand to him with a cautious greeting.
