Catching the smile, Loki found himself smiling back, getting to his feet and lifting her with him until he was upright. Placing her feet gently back on the snow he shook his head and looked, for the first time, as though he really didn't want to leave.

"Of course I'm trying to get rid of you." He answered, though the way he leaned forward and brushed that same strand of hair from her face so gently revealed the truth.

His wings were shaking out the snow now as he stepped back, ready to take to flight. "Tell your horse... thank you." His smile was brilliant as he finally sprinted to the edge of one of the ledges, launching himself off it and disappearing into the distance.
