Loki hadn't actually intended it as a sexual invitation, he really did intend just to bathe and prepare himself for the feast and it would make the most sense to do it in the company of the mortal, and the mortal's other companions if they ever caught up, for surely they would also wish to prepare to be received in state.

Once his clothes had been shed, it would be clear that Loki currently held a male form, and that the whorls and patterns that were visible on his face also covered the rest of his body. He completely avoided the heated pool and slid into the coldest of the pools, his very body making the already frigid water cool even further so that a thin film of ice began to form.

"You may wish to bathe in a pool more suitable for your species, mortal, I will still hear your question and I may even answer it, if it is interesting enough."
