She laughed, but started pulling at his arm like he had genuinely expressed displeasure or disinterest and she was trying to get his attention back again.

"Honestly, the last time my people encountered mindless parasitic monsters in space, we burned the world they occupied to ashes-"

"And you know I didn't go to the gala to try to hook up with some politician, don't you?" she asked anxiously after a moment's pause.

His heart cracked a little.
"I know," he said, brows knitting. "Darling, I know. I'm sorry..."

"I was - I mean. I was a virgin when we met- it's not like I was sleeping around-"

"I know," said Loki, grinning a bit now. "It doesn't seem as though the maidens in most of your Midgardian stories set out to marry princes..."

"I only came because Megan asked me, and - I'd never been to a fancy party before. I didn't even go to prom."

He smiled at her a little sadly.
"Let's... not show anyone from back home this film, shall we?"

"Well, to his detriment, he's not real."
She could envision falling for a guy of the same temperament and appearance and behavior, and though it hadn't ben on her mind during the movie, now that the comparison was made it was a little too obvious - maybe his brother could watch it, but she suspected, say, Adrian would have noticed. Loki had been unctuous and insincere in a lot of his humane pretensions when she'd known him as Lukas. He'd had the same artificiality, and paid her the same attentions for the same transparent desire to get something out of her. She'd liked it, too. It made her feel flattered that he was obviously putting in so much effort.
