So, now she wasn't even going to tell him the answer? Well, that wasn't done.

"Oh no," Loki laughed. "Not until you prove I was wrong." He leaned forward challengingly. "Show me."

The demand got the Sphinx glaring again. Then she pulled back and had to smile.

“I like you”, she said, “so I take that as a joke. And, perhaps at some point, I will. Someday when I’m not wearing my favourite dress.” And someday when the waiter was not watching her, as well. It wouldn’t do to forget something like that.

The Sphinx took a last sip of her drink and stood up. “I think that for now, though, the lunch is done. Unless you have something else in mind…?”

"Oh, I wouldn't mind you taking off the dress at all," Loki said with a wink.

He wasn't really serious, but thought he was putting on a good show. There'd been times when he would have seriously tried to make a pass whether he found female attractive or not, but since his treatment. Well, she could have been the most attractive woman in the world and Loki would probably have turned her down. It might be cowardly not to want to think of the possible side effects of the therapy, but Loki just didn't want to know.

“Of course you wouldn’t”, the Sphinx said. She walked to the restaurant door, but glanced back just before leaving and smiled. “However, you might mind getting your throat full of claws.” With that, she left to find herself a room.

Loki laughed. She was a spirited one, reminded him of his children.
