[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah... yeah.

Guess so.

[He bites at his lip - glances back up, to try and gauge her expression]

[unbr8kable]

[She looks back at him, cocking her head; her expression seems open, if a little flushed]

I could help some, sometimes, if you wanted.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[The flush has reached his ears again; he shifts a little, in the chair]

Help with, like...?

[unbr8kable]

[Smooths down her slacks]

Waiting, I guess. If you need some ideas, I mean.

[crossmyheartandhope]

That -

[He hesitates - licks at his lips, mouth suddenly very dry]

...yeah. Help sounds... good. Ideas, too.

[unbr8kable]

[She shifts, demeanor cool but flush deepening]

Okay. I got a couple might be interesting. Or at least that'd look good, I think.

[She looks at him this time, up through her lashes]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[His cheeks creep darker still; he shifts again, in his chair. His hands are fidgeting at the edge of the table, now, like he's trying to keep them distracted from doing something,]

What, uh.

What kinda things were you thinking?

[unbr8kable]

Did you wanna talk about it?

[Pushes over a menu]

Order something and we can chat.

[crossmyheartandhope]

...sure. That's - sure.

[He picks up the menu a bit too quickly, honestly - seems glad for something to do with his hands - and scans over the items listed. He's a little unsteady when he punches in his order]

What're you getting?

[unbr8kable]

[She watches him, calm]

...I'll have the daily special.

You?

[crossmyheartandhope]

...uh.

[Flushing when he realizes he does not actually know. The drawbacks of being distracted from the menu,]

Whatever was on top?

[Putting hers in properly, at least,]

[unbr8kable]

Mm. Speaking of topping...

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Shifts again,]

What, uh. What about it?

[unbr8kable]

[Begins--flushes]

...What's your thoughts? What--uh, might you wanna try?

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean... anything?

[Possibly realizes how eager that sounds and flushes darker yet, ducking his head a little]

I just mean, like. I'm - open to stuff.

[unbr8kable]

Open, huh...

[Flushes more deeply]

...Did you mean what you said, about my fingers...?

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He's started fidgeting with the edge of the table again - shifts, and bites down on his lip]

...I mean. Yeah.

If, like... if you wanna. If you ain't into it, we don't gotta try.

[unbr8kable]

No-- I mean, yes-- Yeah I wanna try.

[She looks up at him, eyes luminous and color deep over her cheeks]

Didn't know you'd be interested--least not with me.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[His own flush goes deeper]

[His reply, when it comes, is very quiet]

...'m interested in about anything with you.

[unbr8kable]

Yeah, well. That's different.

[Reaches for his hand, though, gentle, her smile gone very soft and shy]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[His own smile goes a little shy, at that; he reaches out to take the offered hand and gives it soft squeeze]

...yeah, but like. Still.

[unbr8kable]

...Still.

[She clears her throat, but doesn't release his hand]

Still, I wanna do stuff you like--I wanna do stuff you suggest sometimes. 'Cause maybe I ain't been all that adventurous before...and 'cause it's cute when you get flustered talking about that kinda stuff.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[The flush has reached his ears, by now; he ducks his head, a little, finding something suddenly fascinating on the surface of the table]

I ain't really... been that adventurous before, neither.

[If she wanted flustered, she's certainly got it; he shifts again, in the chair]

But maybe, like... I - I dunno. If you wanted to help me... wait, some. Or, like - maybe we could try, like. Some kinda roleplay thing...? Not - not now or nothing, just - sometime. If you're into it.

[unbr8kable]

Like with the costumes and the fancy dice?

[Considering her character sheet...or perhaps some oddly familiar dreams, based on the fresh color over her cheeks]

...But yeah, I'd be up for trying that. I ain't good at waiting...but I'm okay at messing with you while you wait, if I do say so myself.

Uh. What're your feelings on like--accessories?

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Perhaps he is also thinking of a dream from not too terribly long ago, because he flushes darker, shifting again in the chair]

What - what kinda accessories?

You mean, like...?
