"Ooooh, promises now, Loki?" she gives him a teasing smile and a laugh, laying her hand on his arm. "One I'll hold you to. There's a party up on the hill later this week. You should come. I may need that drink afterwards."
Loki grinned. "I make all sorts of promises." Just if he intended to keep them was the question. Oh my, is it going to be terribly boring? I might need to go just to protect your sanity."
She gives him a hint of a smirk and straightens once more. "Oh, I think I can promise something a little better than boring. I'd hate for you to miss a front seat for the season's new bout of juicy gossip." She leaned in and dropped a friendly kiss on his cheek. "And yes, that's all I'm telling you. I have to get back anyway. Rue will be home from school soon."
"Oh, you wicked girl. Fine, keep your secrets. I'll ferret them out soon enough. Or enjoy the melodrama of their revelation unspoiled. Both sound quite fun." He grinned. "Give Rue a kiss for me."
