"Trickster God means I do what I want. Why, would you rather I follow through?" Loki's grin was sly. Playful back, responding to her flirtation. "You're so certain I'll spend time with you then?" Definitely teasing and playful, with an eyebrow raise of his own around his wine-glass.
"I thought Trickster God meant that you're a mischievous little scamp, not that you can do what you want. Or is that the royalty part of you that makes you think you can do that?" she countered cheekily. His sly grin made something flutter in her chest. It was also all the encouragement she needed for her boldness. She mimicked his expression, a single eyebrow raised. She held up her wine glass and challenged him right back. "Tell me you don't want to spend time with me and eat my cooking," she countered. "And if you do, I'll know you're a liar liar pants on fire."
"Yes." With a wink, was all Loki gave in answer to her counter. Glad that she was playing back. Few people did really--which he supposed was understandable with his reputation on Midgard. "Your company is pleasant enough, and I would hope your cooking would match." He said smoothly as she mimicked him. "Besides, I could've been lying to you this whole time and would you be able to tell?"
His wink earned him a bright leap of laughter. She didn't know he could be so funny. He has a quick, playful wit about him that she likes a lot. She finished off her drink, feeling warm all over. "I don't think you've been lying to me," she declared. There was a soft flush to her cheeks. "I think you really enjoy hanging out with me. In fact, I bet you're even developing a soft spot for me." Maybe she was pushing it a little but the alcohol was making her brazen and bold.
"Confident aren't we? Again, how would you be able to tell if I'm lying to you? I am very good at it after all." Nor were there any tells to be read in his voice or expression. Just a sly smile.
Whether he had a soft spot or not, he did at least enjoy her company enough to not find being her escort a bothersome chore. She was clearly not holding his past against him. She also seemed to enjoy being around him. Both of those were marks Dr. Lewis' favor in Loki's estimation.
