Re: LOKI
The faster song not only got Stephen's heart rate up, but it also improved his mood. Music spoke something to his soul, the reason why he memorized so many facts about artists and songs, and between sorcery and being wrapped up with life in Derleth it was easy to neglect that part which nourished him.
When the slow song began, Stephen had no intention of leaving his dance partner, and easily slipped in close, maybe even a little closer than Loki might have expected, chests touching together with him leaning his head down so his slow breaths could be felt upon Loki's ear. He needs better hair oil than this coconut, he thought. Or a cologne.
