Julia & Loki
Early in the evening, but not too early (he didn't want to look like he was desperate to talk to her,) Loki approached the steps to the throne. Some of the guards stiffened and gave him threatening looks, but if any of them tried to come near him he held up his palm, exposing a flickering green ball-like flame of magic. As though to say they wouldn't be able to get close enough if they tried.
When he was within a few feet of Julia he gave her a mocking bow with a flourishing wave of his hand. And then he stepped right up to her. "Mourning your final hours as High Queen? Or are you also lamenting the inability to return to our rightful realms?"
