"I suppose so" Loki replied, looking at the small technological device. He hadn't had a chance to play with one of those before but he did know that it could communicate with other devices like itself, as well as capture and send images, and even shut down high security buildings with ease. It seemed rather unwise for everyone on the planet to have something like that.

"Smile." She said taking a photo.

Loki raised a brow as she took the picture, it was good thing it was hard for him to not look good, "Why should I smile?"

Even with the raised eyebrow, it looked pretty good. Ciara chuckled, "It's an expression. Also, Some people say "Say Cheese" because when you cheese you lips move out into a natural smile position." She showed him the photo.

"I suppose that works" he shrugged, "Now, tell me more of this Genosha place." he took a seat, "Max had mentioned it before but he refused to go into detail. It sounds like a promising place."

Ciara smiled, she enjoyed telling people about Genosha. "Here, let me grab my lap top." She headed into the other room and sat down beside him. She explained the basic concept for Genosha, (All while showing him photos of it on her laptop), how New Atlantis was underneath it. How they had mutli leveled farms and solar generated sun lamps for the wild life under the island. She showed him their school system, how all children learned basic self defense and swimming as well as music, art, history etc.
How family members of mutants were being allowed on the island to live as well... And if a child didn't show any mutant powers when they became a teen they were still allowed to remain on the island...

She showed him the magic shops and the wonderful view. And she finished off with photos of Pietro's sewing room and cute little mutant babies.

While he had no interest in the mutant babies, he did find everything else rather useful to know. He asked numerous questions and seemed to actually relax into a more studious persona of himself. Apparently Loki could excersize some extreme patience and listening skills when it came to something that actually interested him. Otherwise he tended to ignore and easily forget things he did not seem worthy of his time.

Ciara was happy to answer all his questions. "Is there anything else you want to know about Genosha? Or midgard?" She asked. She enjoyed educating people.

Loki smiled and leaned back, relaxed. "I think that will do for now. If I'm not mistaken that crack of thunder a little while ago was my brother returning, which means by now dinner should be just about ready." he stood and offered her his hand, "Care to accompany me?"

"It would be my pleasure, your highness. And if you ever have any questions, I'm more than happy to answer them." She said taking his hand to get up. "Just let me go put on my dress." She smiled warmly. Loki was not at all the person she thought he would be.

When she came back down the stairs, she was wearing a lovely dark blue dress.
"I'm afraid I must apologize. I had heard of your crimes and judged you before I meant you. You are rather charming, Loki." She complimented.


^Ciara's dress

"Well, to be quite honest I'm still having trouble figuring out what sort of man did those crimes" Loki replied as she changed, "I'm hardly furious or spiteful towards Midgard or even Odin for that matter. I don't understand what drove me towards such things, either there was something else going on that I didn't tell anyone of, or Thor isn't telling me everything." he found himself staring at the floor, as long as he had been thinking these things he hadn't vocalized the concern to anyone yet. It just slipped out this time, after such good conversation with Ciara his guard had been let down a little. And as he thought about it, he wasn't too sure what he would do if he found out Thor was keeping secrets, or Ceres even.

"Well, memory loss can be very stressful on a person. It's happened to me a couple times. Not quite memory loss more like mind wipes. Usually it's better to slowly give the person more and more info over time... That way they don't have a mental break from all the new information. And somethings there's things that are hard for people to talk about. Your brother is a brave and kind hearted man. If he is keeping anything from you, I'm sure it's not to keep you in the dark but because it's a subject that's hard for him to even talk about." Ciara said, tapping him on the shoulder.

"Shall we?"

He looked up and turned to her with a smile, "Such kind words from a beautiful mortal." he offered her his arm, "We shall" and they went off to dinner.

Ciara smirked lightly, "Careful, your highness. I'm a married woman." She teased but took his hand anyways.

Miss Turner had out done herself.

Loki Chuckled.
They entered the room and it was clear that Thor had attempted to help but rather than aid with the food, Miss Turner had wisely put him on decorations instead. He had fancied up the room a bit to accent the meal. It was a good thing Miss Turner was such a good cook.

Bruce and Ceres had just arrived themselves. "This looks spectacular" Bruce praised with a smile. Even Loki seemed just a little eager, though he didn't say anything on the matter as they took their seats.

It appeared Bruce had been quite the smooth talker beside Ceres was acting rather shy and blashful. Nothing had happened but Bruce had complimented her an awful lot.

"Miss Turner you've out done yourself! Remind me to get all the recipts from you later." She said smiling, these sorts of meals were covered in the school budget. All Miss Turner had to do was hand in the recepts and the amount of time it took her and she would be paid accordingly.

"It was my pleasure. I hope it's alright. I've never cooked this type of meat before." She said a tad bit nervous.

"Well as long as you listened to my instructions it should be just fine" Loki stated. Though he seemed less than amused at Thor's plate of burgers. Still It seemed to make the larger Azgardian happy.

It wasn't just a plate of burgers. It was a plate of FANCY burgers. Beef burger, Bison burger, Moose burger, Rice Burger, buffalo burger, Chili burger etc, all piled up nicely in a pyramid.

Ciara leaned forward, "Would you like to join us Miss Turner?"

"Oh no, I possibly couldn't." She shook her hand and took a step toward the door, still wearing a frilly white outfit. She didn't like being in a group setting besides, she'd set aside a meal sized portion for herself in the kitchen.

"But I insist!" Bruce asserted, pulling out a chair for her to sit.

Miss Turner bit her lip, "Ok, I just need to text someone." She sat down and pulled out her phone.

I've been invited/ insisted to ear dinner with Mr. Wayne, Ciara, Celeste and two gods. I'll skype you later? :3

"Who you texting?" Ciara asked smiling, having a feeling she knew just who Miss Turner was texting.

Miss Turner blushed and put her phone away, "A friend..."

((I'm having a bit of a brain fart XD))

And then they food!

It was a wonderful meal. Miss Turner had never gotten so many compliments in a row before. Mind you, she usually didn't sit in on the meal she prepared for other people. She kept blushing lightly and looking down saying a simple thank you each time.

Loki And Bruce talked about his ideas while Thor told the gals a story from his younger years.

Now that they were sitting down together, Loki and Bruce actually seemed to be getting along. It helped that Bruce was actually quite open minded and willing to listen to Loki's unusual ideas. The billionaire had to explain a few times that there were world politics, between some countries that they would have to deal with and the whole planet was actually far from united. Evidently the people of Azgard only viewed Earth as one collective, Midgard, and it was a bit of a challenge to change that point of view.

By the end of it everyone was full and quite happy. Bruce leaned back and let out a satisfied sigh, "Well, I'm going to have to tell Jamie Oliver that his cuisine has officially taken second place." he chuckled, "he isn't going to be very happy about that."

"For a first attempt at something you've never heard of, this is actually almost perfect" Loki commented, which of course was some of the highest praise in his view to give.

Thor almost threw his plate on the ground to demand more, but thankfully Ceres caught him and he remembered his Midgardian manners, "A greater feast could not be had!" he proclaimed in that booming voice.

Miss Turner hard turned bright red from all the compliments. She was looking down at her lap, "Thank you. You're most welcome. I really enjoyed cooking it. Thor even got some extra steak so I can cook it for several more meals."

((She was totally going to have skype dinner/chat with Wanda))

"I brought in a whole Teranian" Thor declared happily.

Loki looked at him, "Those creatures are ten feet tall and nearly seventeen feet long, where did you put it?"

Thor paused and looked to Miss Turner.

"O.o; that is a lot of steak" Bruce blinked.
