"Disarming. Secretly ferocious. Attractive enough to distract people. Enjoy ordering people around. I'd say you fit the bill." He doesn't miss the way her cheeks go slightly pink and can't resist teasing. This may be a new game for them, flirting and poking, but it has some of the same electric energy their time together does. Well, the times before the last day or so.
And for him, flirting is safer territory, something he does without thinking. It is odd, though, for this to feel new when there's so much they've crossed together.
"Ah, your world had airships? Interesting. You're the first person who's said so." His voice shifts as he talks about the Strahl, wistful and proud. "My ship was one of a kind. Military prototype, only one made. Stole it. Stripped the interior and refinished it, mostly myself, hired some workers for parts. Fran and I have lived on it for near a decade. World's best apartment. Maybe the universe's.'
When he glances over, she's sitting on the fence listening to him thoughtfully, legs swinging, and the smile he gives her is warm and full of affection. "I always liked night blooming flowers -- a lot of them in the deserts. They suit you." And because he can't help himself, "You'll have to point the scent out sometime when I'm over."
