"I do not see much harm in it" Loki replied. "They are one of the few races here that actually enjoy a little warmth"

Ceres smiled widely.

"Oh no. Look what you've done. She's got that knitting face on."

"Knitting during the winter is a hobby of mine." Ceres explained as they entered the guest room.

"She made us all sweaters one year."

((time skippy?))

((Sure))

((Where to next? I'm out of my plots XD))

((I dunno... And I can't find my USB recviver so no talking ><))

((Balls. BTW I haven't been able to tell when you're on skype, if you have been at all the last few days XD))

((Ummm springlings healing Ceres?))

SPRIGLINGS HEAL CERES!

((I may have a scene I wanna rp before she gets healed))

((M'kay. Go ahead and start it then?))

It had been about a week since Loki had woken up. Many things had been happening around the castle in that time. Loki dealt with politcs, Juno taught the guards how to play hockey (The ones off duty of course) and Ceres had started handing out little Springling scarfs.

It seemed the guards around the castle did not like the fact the little guys not only getting presents but presents with such bright colours. So Ceres had started making large sashes for the guards so they would not get jealous and pick on the little springlings. She didn't know why but the springlings seemed awfully familiar to her but she couldn't quite figure out why. When she mentioned this to Juno she merely shrugged not nothing what to say.

The guest wing of the palace was much warmer after Loki took Juno's advice and packed the walls with snow. Ceres nearly had a panic attack when her sleeping bag was scooped up by one of the builders and placed to one side of the room so they could redo the room, adding insulation via snow blocks. Juno and Loki simply laughed at this.

It was late and Ceres couldn't sleep. Loki seemed to always stay up late anyways so she decided to bring him some tea.

She knocked gingerly and stepped into Loki's chambers. She set the tea on his desk after realizing he had fallen asleep on his bed; various papers scattered around him and the floor.

Ceres tiptoed around the scrolls and pieces of parchment. Some were from different realms, others seemed to be propaganda against him or for him, others had Loki's handwritting on them. Perhaps trying to figure a way to bring peace to this realm and it's people.

She stood beside his bed, the moonlight entering the room just giving off enough light to see Loki, fast asleep with a book over his face. He was working so hard and he was still not a 100% yet. She carefully picked the book off of his face and set it on the night stand.

When she turned to leave she felt her chest begin to hurt. Not now She thought grabbing her chest stumbling sideways. She caught herself and slowly turned her head toward Loki, her eyes glowing a soft red.

She removed her outer layers until she was in nothing but her purple spandex long johns and climbed onto the bed with the grace of a cat.

She crawled over top of him and smiled sweetly before nibbling up his neck softly til she met his lips.

"Mmmnn..." A little groan escaped his lips as he instinctively kissed her back. Still half asleep Loki's hands ran up her legs and came together in the small of her back. Then his eyes opened a crack and for a moment he blinked at her, then he seemed to come to the realization that this was not a dream.
Startled, the azgardian tried to pull away, which was a bit of a tricky feat, "Ceres?" he questioned, a bit confused. Was this another trick from someone trying to kill him?

"Evening <3" She said softly, running a finger along his jawline before sitting back on his hips and pulled her long john top off, revealing her gem and a pin stripped bra with pink ruffles along the edge, "Something wrong?" She asked as he looked rather confused.

He eyed her uncertainly, "Ceres... why are your eyes red?" he questioned

Ceres shrugged, "Red, Green, dark pink, pink... These eyes have been so many colours. But do you know what I've seen?" She took hold of his left hand, "A boy and a girl who both have feelings for one another but neither are brave enough to admit it... So here I am... breaking the ice. It's funny, how this body can't stand the cold and yet, your icy touch makes it shiver will glee."She took his index finger and ran it along her gem slowly. She let out a soft moan and rocked her hips lightly against him.

Loki took a very controlled breath before grabbing Ceres and rolling over so that he was on top. He seized her wrists, pinning her down on the bed, "There are reasons for that" he replied firmly, giving her a stern look, "This..." he glanced her over, "This cannot happen."

She pouted lightly before giving Loki a rather sexy grin. "Sure it can... And from what I can see.." She looked downward toward Loki's lower region, "Your body and mind aren't in agreeance on the matter."

"Besides, why have a queen when you can have a goddess?" She asked leaning up and with a snap of her finger, her appearance changed starting at her head and working its way down to her toes. Her skin turned from pink to light blue and her outfit turned to a white ruffled lacey bra and underwear, and a small veil tucked into a loose half bun, the rest of her hair flowing across the sheets like rays of pink sunshine. "This is what I'll become if you wish it..." She said softly, reaching with her neck to try and kiss him, teasing with a shift of her hips.

Loki frowned and pulled away to his feet, "As fond as I may be for illusions, I do not wish Ceres to change who she is, be it for me or anyone else. And yes, I say Ceres as opposed to you, because I do not believe that you are entirely her." he stated stiffly.

She moved to sit on the side of the bed, crossing her legs and resting her hand on her hand and grinned lightly. "She won't have to change per say... But... if you were to bond, your souls would share with one another...certain, things." She got up and walked lightly around Loki, doing a twirl here and there. "Notice how light blue her skin would be? She could be a queen to these people, while you show them a strong, confident leadership, she could show the kindness, compassion, a... dare I quote it....'A whole new world' of opportunity." She said running a hand along the back of his shoulders as she walked around to face him.

"So what gave it away? The eyes, the assertiveness, or your illusion magic?" She asked wrapping her arms around his neck and hooking one smooth and soft leg around one of his. Much like how tango dancers do.

Loki glared at her, "be gone with you" he demanded, "I have no more words for your like"

"Umph. You never were very much fun when the tables are turned..." She leaned her head against him and then within a few seconds leaned most of her weight into him.

"Mmmhm?" Ceres looked up, her eyes faded back to their normal colour. She blinked, looking up a him and then smiled sweetly. "...Ou, I like this dream. <3" She whispered softly, reached up to kiss him.

Loki gave a soft smile when he saw that she was back to normal, though he deflected the kiss with a gentle peck on her forehead before lifting her up and tucking her into his bed. The alien material was smoother than silk and deceptively warm, "Go back to sleep Ceres" he told her gently.

She giggled much like a school girl from the playful peck,"But I am sleeping..." She said softly, "Though I've never been blue before." She said finding the sheets rather nice. "...Snuggle?"

Loki sighed and glanced towards the door, he should really leave her be... perhaps tell Juno about the incident, or whatever it was that just happened... but... she seemed alright at the moment. Looking back at her he smiled a little and nodded, "Very well, but just for a little while" he climbed in with her.
