Loki chuckled, "Well you are a very good smiler. Very well, you have a deal," he spun her around and while she was extended he shook her hand to seal the deal.

They danced and danced the night away. It was near dawn when Ceres had to stop dancing and flopped down on a very large white fluffy snake like creature. It didn't seem to mind at all. It simply shifted under neath Ceres to properly support her before lowering it's head back down

"Mmmm... Cuddle bug. Come have a cuddle. The fur is like fluffy clouds."

With a yawn Loki joined her. It had been a fun night, exhausting but it was good to laugh again. How in the nine realms was it possible for one person to make such a difference to him? It seemed another mystery he would be trying to solve.
Until then, perhaps a nap he sighed and closed his eyes.

By the time Ceres had woken up, the Cuddle bug spirit had shifted the two of them closer to each other. Ceres yawned and looked up, it was about noon now. "Loki?"

"Hmm?" Loki yawned, peeking his eyes open to look at her, "Good... noon" he glanced at the sky, noting where the sun was.

She sat up and stretched her arms above her head, "Hmmm, thank you cuddle bug." she patted the creature who made a deep jingle noise and then lowered it's head back down to the ground, "You sleep alright?"

"Yes actually" Loki replied, getting to his feet. It had at least been a better rest than he'd had in the last little while.

She got up and did some more stretches. "We should probably get back. Pietro has probably returned by now." She said, looking up at the sky again.

"Hm? Oh, the tailor." Loki shrugged, "very well. I'm curious to see if he's any good."

Ceres lead the way back to the pool, "Just between you and I, he's quite excited to have the opportunity to dress you. It's not everyday a god come to town for clothes."

"It isn't every day that one gets banished to Midgaurd." Loki replied, glancing back at the few spirits who tagged along to watch them leave. He couldn't decide just how he felt about this, on one hand if he couldn't have his own magic then at least he was surrounded by others with it. On the other hand it just wasn't enough, it was a tease to come so close to such power and still have it just out of reach. To be just outside the circle.

Ceres had been very careful not to use magic around Loki. Knowing it was cruel to do something in front of a person who had lost the ability.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to put it like that. I just meant..." She looked down at the pool.

"I understand" he turned back to the pool, "Mortals and gods rarely mix, I am certain it's quite thrilling for him." he dived in to head back.

When they came through the other side, they were back in their original clothes, which felt like they'd been washed but they were not wet when they left the pool.

"Beyond thrilled." She smiled and took hold of his hand, heading back to her room. "I think you'll like whatever he's whipped up for you."

Pietro was already set up in Loki's room with a large collection of things. He gave a bow as the two of them entered and then it was straight to work!
The talented tailor had managed to make numerous outfits in just one day and it ranged from earth casual to formal to full Asgardian style and everywhere in between.

"Oh wow... You certainly have been busy." Ceres complimented, playing with a green silk tie.

"Well, you know me" Pietro smiled, "Once I get these ideas in my head I can't rest until they're done."

Loki seemed more skeptical as he examined the clothing, he was rather difficult to read and it was making Pietro anxious to wait to hear what he had to say. "Where did you get this fabric?" Loki questioned, touching the material of a vest.

"Ah, that one is actually mutant made" Pietro replied, "It has all the feel and flow of silk but it's stronger and more resistant to dirt. It takes her awhile to make so I only use it for special items."

"It's similar to an Asgardian weave of Halnu spun silk from the mountains of Hel" he observed.

"Hell?" Pietro blinked, not sure if he had heard right, "silk from hell?"

"Hel" Loki corrected with the Asgard accent, "though similar to what you are referring to. It's the land of the dead, ruled by Hela. It is supposedly to be woven with the souls of the dead as protection against death, though I doubt it's actually anything quite to dramatic. Even so, Odin himself has very little made from it." a small smirk crossed his lips, "To a less educated eye, it's identical. I want it all made from this" he looked at Pietro expectantly.

"a-all of it?" Pietro hesitated, there were a few pieces that incorporated the material here and there but that still meant redoing practically everything-and getting his friend to work some major overtime in making the fabric.

"You can do it, can you not?" Loki questioned.

"uuhhhhh yeah" Pietro replied, thinking about it, "it'll take a lot longer but, okay. Sure, I'll get right on it." he ran a hand through his silver hair, "So, do you like the designs at least?"

"They will do" Loki nodded and turned to go out on the balcony.

Ceres walked up beside Pietro, running her hand over the pretty tie and held her hand up for a high five while watching Loki walk out onto the balacony.

Pietro gladly high fived her, "Sweeeet-but hot damn that's going to take awhile x.x"

"And money x.x" Ceres thought out loud. "...Pietro, do you accept credit? Because Thor has a Lovely gold platium card from Fury."

"No kidding" Pietro flopped down on a nearby chair, "Jenna's gonna blow a casket when I tell her. If you can send her a few cases of Arizona Green tea, that'd help. Apparently it gives her the best energy for making this stuff. Annnnddd I'll set up my account for a funds transfer"

"Riiiight. How about you add that to the tab? I'm not sure how to get that to Genosha or who to call there."

"Wayne enterprises takes care of all of our shipping" he replied, pulling out his wallet to get a business card, "Here, that's Lucius Fox's number, he'll take care everything."

"Oh, okay." She looked at the card, "I'll give him a call then."

Pietro smiled, "Especially if you want to make a habit of this. Actually, I have a few ideas for you if you're interested."
