They headed up to part of the palace she had yet to be shown. Loki entered a room without any announcement, Leah just followed to see one full of books. She looked around to see it a branching room with a bed in it realizing she was in Loki's quarters she tensed up slightly not sure what to do with herself.
"I do not plan doing anything you do no wish." Loki said making her jump and see him watching her. "I just thought we could continue to talk."
"Right." Leah looked around the room timidly.
"I will get some food brought up." Loki suggested leaving the room.
Leah just stood in the middle of the room looking around. It was more modest than she expected, there were large lanterns lit and it was full of books. Leah slowly went over to one desk, eyeing up what books that were open. Loki came back into her room seeing her studying his books.
"Anything catching your eye." He smiled making her jump again, he walked over and glanced down at the books. "There not the ones you've read." He explained "I was doing some research into you, last night after our meeting."
"Into me?" Leah frowned not really sure what he meant.
"Not precisely." He smirked "I have some predictions with your powers but I was seeing how we could prove them."
"Okay." Leah sounded a little dubious. "Like what?"
"I think if you can't die, you can control your aging."
"Right." Leah stared at him not really understanding what he meant by that at all.
"I believe that its partially you who decides if your going to come back from the dead. That time where I watched you on Mirgard your heart stopped. However you continued to heal without much assistance then your heart started beating once again."
"I am familiar how I do it." Leah muttered having memories of watching videos of her dying and coming back. It was all a little disturbing for her liking.
"Well its the same with aging, you don't wish too I am almost certain you won't." Loki stared at her.
"I really don't have control over it." Leah shrugged "I don't think or do anything to control it. I never have had."
"I don't believe that." Loki smiled at her. There was a knock at the door, Loki went to open the door as two servants walked in with their dinner and some wine. She stood there as she saw the servants glances at her before they left. Loki just ignored them and poured two goblets of wine. "Ignore them."
"Pardon?" Leah came over to the table as Loki pulled out a seat for her. She slowly sat down and looked at the food before them.
"Their looks." He told her sounding a little cold. "It happens a lot or well it use to when Thor and I was younger, It was a regular occurrence."
Leah just stared at him as he sat down, not having a clue what the hell he was going on about. Leah frowned at him as he began to drink some of his wine.
"I still don't get it?"
"The servants like to talk, they are also the people who know the going on's in the palace. If you ever want information go to them first." Loki lent back smirking. "It will be common knowledge that your here by tomorrow morning."
"What." Leah gasped
"It will be fine." Loki began to eat the food in front of them.
"What will be said?" Leah did not like where this was going at all.
"What ever a servant feels at the time." Loki seemed very calm about the situation unfurling in front of her. "That I held you here against your will, that we were conspiring some plan or in the middle of a passionate act."
"What." Leah stood up looking at him horrified by what he said.
"Do not worry." Loki looked up at her with amusement in
"Some one will drag my reputation through the dirt just because I am here with you." Leah hissed now feeling annoyed that she had let this happen so easily.
"It will be fine." Loki tried to reassure her.
"Look Thanks for today but I think I better go." Leah left the table and headed for the door. Loki was there before her though stopping her from leaving. Leah just paused looking at him. "Please Loki just let me go, I don't want people presuming things about us and whats happening."
"If you leave now you will only fire more questions with them." Loki told her looking at her seriously, Leah just crossed her arms staring back at him. "They will think we have something to hide. Please lets just eat and talk then I will walk you back to your room."
"Fine." Leah shrugged letting out a long sigh
They sat back down, Leah relaxed slightly enjoying Loki's company, he spoke about things she had yet to find out and made her laugh. They went out onto the balcony as the night went on, Leah was sitting on the balcony her legs stretched out in front of her and back against the wall. While Loki lounged on the chair.
"Was this as bad as you thought?" Loki began a small smile on his face.
"I suppose not, I am just not use to being well my actions being judged." Leah looked at her half full goblet of wine before taking a sip. "I mean the whole prince thing."
"Prince thing?" Loki raised an eyebrow at her.
"You know." Leah began suddenly struggling for words herself. "I mean with you being a prince, people want every detail of your life and who your with. I mean on Mirgard there are films, well stories about things like this. I mean I never thought that this would real." Leah looked at Loki who seemed amused.
"Its a normal occurrence." Loki drawled seeming more amused than ever. "When myself and Thor lost our virginity, my mother found out through the servants, only then we got lectured about."
"Making babies." Leah added chuckling slightly. "It wouldn't have been any better than my brothers chat with me. It was pretty amusing, I didn't have the heart to tell him that a friends mother had done it for him already." Leah just smiled taking a sip of the wine.
"But your still a virgin?" Loki stated making Leah's glow a rosy red. "Surely you have had suitors."
"No." Leah shook her head "I just never found any one I wanted to." She paused glancing at him, she knew it was the wine giving her the boldness to talk about it. But with whatever it is going on between them she needed to tell him as it was important to her. "Its something special and I don't think it is something to give up on a fling."
"Perhaps your right." Loki shrugged "I mean I have slept with a few woman who just threw themselves at me and only then did they realize that they were spoiled, no man would take them without thinking about that. They would never find a husband of worth because of that one night."
"Wow that's coming from you." Leah grinned at him finding it amusing how he seemed to actually think about it now. "Amazing. Surely it can't be that bad, I mean the amount of sex that goes on here is still mind baffling, I just don't understand it."
"If only you knew." He smirked slowly getting up and moving over to her before topping up her goblet to the brim of wine. "Sex is one of the most powerful emotions."
"Is this you trying to seduce me." Leah mocked him smiling slightly as she continued to drink her wine. "Its not working."
"That sounds like challenge." He put the jug down beside her as he stepped further between her legs before grabbing her waist and pulling her closer. "I like challenges."
"Loki." Leah pushed him back slightly looking up at him. "It wasn't an invitation."
Loki however didn't seem to hear this as his pressed his forehead against hers. She just felt herself shrink under her gaze, she could feel herself tremble slightly. His one hand came up and cupped her face, tipping upwards so her lips met his. She gasped as his pressed his own lips against hers. Loki ran his hand along her side, as the other went into her hair grasping onto it. Her hands ran up his firm chest before gripping onto his jacket. Her body was slowly reacting to this kiss in ways she didn't fully understand. Loki pulled back, keeping her up close to him, she just stared up at him wide eyed.
"Is this what you want little one." He asked looking at her there was a hint of worry in his voice.
Leah just shook her head knowing it was the truth, she wasn't ready to give up part of her. Loki let her go immediately stepping back from her looking a little shocked and confused himself.
"Its just." Leah began sitting there "I want it to mean something not be a crazy night."
"It will mean something." Loki looked up at her seriously.
"But I just want the romance." Leah shrugged
There was a brief moment of a awkward silence. Leah sat on the balcony looking down before she stood up and walked back inside picking up her jacket about to leave.
"Wait." Loki called "At least let me walk you back to your room."
Leah just nodded not really able to say anything. Loki took hold of her hand as they walked back to her room in absolute silence. No one was around, as they strolled down the corridors, they got to her door, Leah just looked up at him before saying.
"Sorry this obviously didn't turn out how you wanted."
"How do you know that." Loki frowned at her
"Just a guess." Leah sighed smiling looking up at him.
"Good night little one." Loki smirked before leaning down and gently kissing her on the lips. Leah just closed her eyes and let out a sigh enjoying the feeling washing over her. He then broke away walking off down the corridor leaving her at her doorway staring at him as he disappeared.
