Loki and the girl returned a moment later. Loki took one look at the dance in progress and stopped, leaning against the wall again, with the girl following his gaze.

Krolock noticed them on a turn and scowled.
"Your young man has returned,"he said dryly.

"Oh!"
She released Johannes' hands on impulse, looking over at him.

Krolock held up his hands in a good-natured gesture of defeat.
"Ah..."

Loki began moving a little closer to them, one hand extended toward Teja.
"May I-"

"I think I have to go," she said jocularly to Johannes, to make up for some of the embarrassment of Loki's possessiveness.

"Of course," Krolock said, with an exaggerated courtly bow that did not quite conceal the irritation on his face. For a moment, he looked remarkably like his son.

Loki paused halfway to Teja's hand.
"I apologize, I can wait-"
He looked at Teja while Krolock was still bent down and jerked his head toward the vampire, as if to ask what the hell his problem was.

"When I heard this was going to be a party, I envisioned more food and fewer interruptions," Loki commented as he stole two slices of miniature baguette covered in spinach dip from one of the few tables that were laid out with food. "Here, darling. This ought to be meatless."
He took a bite of his and nodded approvingly.
"Mm. Yes. I'm sorry, I thought you looked uncomfortable with the Graf."

Some of her annoyance went out of her.
"I thought you were just claiming your territory."

"There are a lot of things I'm trying to be better at, " he said, a little wistfully.

Something about that twisted a little knife in her heart. She put her arms about his waist in a loving way. "Did you really want to dance?"

"Let's wait until the next song," he said gently. "There's a lot I wish to do, but we can start with that..."
He touched her cheek and grinned more on one side than the other.

She smiled at him, in echo of his own expression more than anything, a reflex. It fell from her face in a moment and she looked back at him in wonder.
"Why do you want this?"
