You’ve got your TFLN, you’ve got your sexting, now here’s the meme for all those gen texts, phone calls, voicemails, pictures of your cats, and whatever else your little heart can come up with, because who doesn't like a little old fashioned friendly texting. (Or enemy texting, if that's more your bag.)

Well, then perhaps I should take more initiative to ask for you to join me out.

[killmypatience]

Maybe you should.

[She smirks.]

It's nice to be invited every once in a while.

[byyourleave]

And I am always very grateful for your company.

[maybe more than grateful, but he's good at playing it cool]

[killmypatience]

[She smiles at that.]

Well, it's been a while since someone's been grateful enough to take me to dinner. At least from what I can remember.

[byyourleave]

Then I shall be better at contacting you more often.

[killmypatience]

Good.

[And they'll sit and order and eat a bit, and we can timeskip a bit?]

[byyourleave]

[yup, through all the small talk and the meal until they are done and walking back along the streets of London]

So do you know if you will be leaving again soon?

[killmypatience]

[She pauses before shaking her head.]

I haven't been made aware of any other missions.

[byyourleave]

Neither have I. I have been trying to use my time in the castle wisely. When there is no missions, it feels as if there is a lack of purpose for me.

[killmypatience]

[She nods.]

That's when I took up sight seeing. Everything in Europe is so close by train - I just have to avoid Italy.

[byyourleave]

Why not Italy?

[killmypatience]

Italy is not that fond of Shadowkind. In the sense that they really specifically hate them.

[byyourleave]

You do not show outward signs of being a Shadowkind. I'm sure you could go for a weekend. Especially with one who is a native and may know their way through Italy well enough.

[killmypatience]

[Her eyebrows go up a bit at that suggestion.]

Are you offering?

[byyourleave]

[this is usually the point where he would back down, sliding back into the friendship role and not pushing. But to be honest, while Baal was a gentleman, he also was tired of dancing around the idea.]

If it is something you would find enjoyable, then yes, I am.

[killmypatience]

[And at that her smile widens a bit before nodding.]

Okay. We'll see what happens, then.

[byyourleave]

[he takes a moment to lick his lips before looking up at Kate, pushing aside the normal flirt for a more serious look]

And, perhaps if you find that I would be enjoyable to you as well... I would like to see how that would happen.

[it sounded a lot smoother in Farsi]

[killmypatience]

[Oh. Oh.

Its not that she hasn't been reading between the lines and seeing the interest there, but romantic relationships haven't always been the easiest for her. Even if she doesn't remember many of her relationships, but there has been something about it that has never really come naturally to her.

But there it was, right in front of her, and she doesn't really know what to say at first. So she deflects, because that's what she does best.]

Are you trying to build a game plan?

[byyourleave]

[that was not a reaction he was expecting. In fact, the deflection catches him off guard that he isn't sure he understands her English at the moment]

I do not know what you mean by "game plan" in this regard...?

[killmypatience]

[She regrets it almost as soon as she says it and she shakes her head a bit, leaning back in her seat.]

No, sorry, I just ... I'm not good at this.

[byyourleave]

That is quite alright. If it is not something you wish, you can tell me and I will understand.

[killmypatience]

It isn't that.

[Because she's definitely interested - she's just not sure how to follow through with it.]

Just the way you phrased it made it seem like you wanted to discuss hypotheticals.

[byyourleave]

Oh. [he blushes a bit at that] I have a habit of doing that, I have been told.

[killmypatience]

Probably the language barrier.

[But after a moment:]

I'm not ... opposed. I just don't really remember how this works.

[byyourleave]

Then it is something in which I can help you remember.
