She grinned back at him, "I knew this mask had its benefits."

[complicatedliar]

"If you want one to hide your beauty entirely, next time you'd best cover your lips."

Silly words, but this was all in fun. And the sort of game he enjoyed playing in general, but moreso with his lover.

[touchofrogue]

She lifted up a hand to tug his head down and give him a kiss again. "I could look into a ski mask," she murmured, smiling.

[complicatedliar]

"Then I'd just have to find something else to kiss that the mask didn't cover."

[touchofrogue]

Rogue laughed and lightly elbowed him in the process of turning around. She'd just bet he'd find something that the mask didn't cover. She brought her hands up to carefully adjust her paper mask. "Havin' fun?"

[complicatedliar]

He shrugged. "There are no games, no real dancing. I've been wandering about and poking people, but it's getting a bit boring now."

[touchofrogue]

"A little chilly too," she said, reaching to take his hand. "Though we could change the bit about the dancing. The droids are playin' the kind of music you could use to waltz."

[complicatedliar]

"If you'll dance with me, I'd be inclined to do that." He squeezed her hand, ready to lead her off to where the music could found.

[touchofrogue]

"Can't think of anyone else I'd like to dance with," she said with a smile. "Come on, it's this way."

[complicatedliar]

Loki grinned, gone from bored to in a very good mood indeed. He escorted Rogue over to space where they could dance. The music wasn't the best, but it didn't really matter, at that point. He was happy to lead her in a waltz or two.

[touchofrogue]

Their good example was... completely not followed. It didn't really bother Rogue. After the second dance, she laughed and led Loki over to get something to warm drink. She was getting cold.

"I think I'm gettin' better," she said. She'd almost completely unstiffened by the end of the first song.

[complicatedliar]

"I think you are as well," Loki smiled. "Just a bit of practice, yes? And I'll be happy to help you practice more, you know." He kissed her hand. "Still not warmed up, though?"

[touchofrogue]

"I don't mind practicin' with you. We could go back after this." She was safe when she danced with him. And he enjoyed it so much that she wanted to be able to share it with him. She smiled at him a little, still wearing her paper mask. "Maybe I should have gone for the ski mask instead."

[complicatedliar]

Loki grinned. "I could always pretend..." He glanced around where they were going. "After what?"

[touchofrogue]

"Hot chocolate," Rogue announced, almost at the booth. "I saw that they had all different kinds of flavors and I want to try."

[complicatedliar]

"Ah. Maybe this vendor will have tea as well." He'd been annoyed by the lack of tea and coffee so far. He wasn't at all enamored of hot chocolate.

[touchofrogue]

"We'll check and see," Rogue said.

Unfortunately, when they got there no coffee or tea was to be found.

"They have unsweetened versions," Rogue said, in effort to offer a acceptable alternative.

[complicatedliar]

Loki sighed dramatically. "It's a conspiracy to force me to drink chocolate," he grumbled. "What flavor shall I try?"

[touchofrogue]

"Peppermint?" she said, then shook her head. "No, that'd probably make it too sweet. Maybe the salted caramel or the spicy hot chocolate. Though the caramel might defeat the purpose... I'm probably gonna have the one with the spices."

This choice was not all that surprising, really. Rogue loved adding spices to things.

[complicatedliar]

"Mmm....caramel is very sweet indeed. I don't know if the salt would really be enough to compensate for that. Perhaps I'll try the spiced one as well. I rather like spiced wine..."

[touchofrogue]

"It's worth a shot," Rogue agreed. "You don't have to finish it if you don't like it."

She placed the order for two spicy hot chocolates, one unsweetened, and handed Loki his mug.

[complicatedliar]

Loki took his hot chocolate and gave it a suspicious sniff. "Hm. Smells interesting at least." He sipped the hot chocolate...and found he actually liked the taste, rather unexpectedly. Perhaps it was the spices.

And it was very, very warm.

[touchofrogue]

Rogue took a sip as well, rolling the flavors over her tongue. It was nice, rich hot chocolate. And the spices... "Not bad," she said, turning to give Loki a look that was quickly shaded with appreciation. She smiled and repeated, "Not bad at all."

[complicatedliar]

Loki took a second sip of his hot chocolate--yes, he liked it that much. Then he leaned forward to kiss Rogue and steal a taste of hers from her lips. A long, hot taste.

"I could learn to like it," he commented.

[touchofrogue]

And was she ever game for helping him with that process. She lifted a hand to his shoulder and slid it slowly down his arm to claim his hand. "Why don't we go find someplace private we can enjoy it."
