"Asgardian..." Her hands turned into fists. She knew the style of his clothes. She head butted him when he got close, her body creaking as her head flomped back down on the ground. Damn, she needed her body to warm up faster, she was like a living doll. He didn't even have to hold her down if he wanted. "You're sick."

Loki barely blinked, "Please, Thor hits harder than that with his pinky" he commented as another wave washed in around them, "I expect more from you in the future" he got to his feet and offered her his hand.

She looked at his hand and then back at him, "I see your sense of humor has not changed." She commented, jerking her arm up, in a very robotic motion.

He grabbed her hand and pulled her effortlessly to her feet, though his other arm was quickly around her again except this time in a more supportive role. "Some say you're only as good as your sense of humor" he grinned, "I do not like nearly drowning you like that. Please don't do anything to cause me to do so again."

Vesta stared at him, why did he have to say things like that? No. She had to fight him, to resist. Had to... She found herself leaning against his chest before she knew it.

"NO!" She pushed back, "I can't do this. You'll hurt my sisters."

He pulled her close again and wrapped his arms around her, "Hush little fire lily, everything is going to be alright" he cooed, "just stay by me and all will be well"

Her old nickname... His presence was overwhelming... "Loki..." His name seemed to roll off her tongue though he had not yet told her it., "Please... take me, spare my sisters...Please."

"But you are going to help me with them" he replied, stroking her hair, "I just want to talk to them-you know I've always wanted to meet your family. I even brought presents!"

She shook her head but it was clear he had won, "My heart may burn brightest when you are near but I am not a fool, Love."

He grinned, "Ah yes, I would never brand you with such a title. But all the same, we will be visiting your sister June. Why don't you show me the way to this... brotherhood?"

"Later." She stated, throwing all of her weight onto him and flomping them both over onto the sand where she quickly wrapped her lips around his. "Say my name. <3"

A laugh fell from his lips as they did, "Oh? But which one? You have so many lovely names. Victoria, Vakha, Valerie, Violet, Vesta... Fire Lily" he chuckled.

She smirked, running her finger across his lips, "Hmmm... I do like how Fire lily rolls off your tongue with this voice." She gave him a few butterfly kisses.

He smiled, "Fire Lily" he said it again but then he paused. ~Get a grip of yourself~ he scolded himself and sighed, "ah, but now is not the time for that. I have great plans for us Fire Lily, will you help me?"

"I already stated I'm yours... Can't you indulged me a little longer?" She reached behind her and stiffly unzipped the upper section of her soaked dress, her rack held lovingly in a dark red lace bra. "Please, Loki..." She whispered lightly, her chest inches from his face. She was actually older in age compared to her past life. The bond had caused her to stop aging and by that rack she had, perhaps he should have waited a couple years.

~weell.... no, stick to the plan~ he placed his hands on her shoulders and gently pushed her off, "Not now my Fire Lily, but as soon as everything is in place, we will be having plenty of fun, I assure you" he grinned, "so, the sooner we get to work, the sooner we can play"

She crossed her arms, "Oh. I see." She got up, "You care more of your work than of me... I guess you're into smaller framed ladies." She huffed, rather disappointed.

Loki got to his feet and came up behind her, wrapping his arms around her, "On the contrary, you are more ravishing than ever before" he assured her, "but I do need to get back in time, before the portal closes. It's quite particular you see."

She blushed, reached behind her and resting a hand behind his hand, "Only if you take me with you..." She stated, "I forgot how your presence makes me feel...I don't want it to end."

"I wouldn't dream of leaving without you" he replied, nuzzling her neck for a moment, "You are the entire reason I came here, after all." he sighed, "Now... we really should go see your sister"

"Fine." She said, slipping her dress back on and wrapped his arm around her waist. "Teleport us back to town."

In a flash of light they were back, now that Loki was well satisfied that she was back until control he allowed her to slip from his grasp if need be.

Vesta took hold of his hand and led him toward the brotherhood house.

As she pointed it out, Loki hung back in the shadows, "Why don't you go bring her out to meet me?" he asked, "but don't say who it is, I want it to be a surprise" he put a finger to his lips.

She nodded and walked around the house. She picked up a small pebble at a window and almost instantly had a blade around her neck.

"Vesta, geeze. I could have taken your head off." she said, removing the scythe from her sister's neck.

"Sorry."
"What's up? You've never shown up in person before. If Scott or the others see you."
"I know, I know... I just need you to come with me for a min..."
"Vesta, you're.... are you ok?" She asked.
