take me home tonight

Even though she had very much given in to the fun and excitement of being a flirtatious tease for the better part of this last year, the manners and etiquette that her father had taught her still wove itself into her behavior - some times showing up more than others. She calmly drank her tea in small laps and mouth fulls. It certainly wasn't a taste that she could imagine drinking a lot of at a time the way she might drink fresh water from a steam, but it was still pleasant and calming in its own particular way. Occasionally she would steal glances toward him and her eyes would meet his unabashedly each time. Perhaps if she was truly following her father's decorum and politeness she wouldn't be as brash as she was, but there had to be some places in her life that she was allowed to bend the rules in... Although, if she was being honest, she felt like she often bent the rules more than she followed them. To his question of what she hoped to find here, she hummed thoughtfully and let her head tip gently to the side. The light from the fire caught the pale fur of her cheek as it cast a warm light over her features - some of the smoother hairs glistening softly in the low light. "Perhaps some swashbuckling pirates or some daring heroes," he told him, her sapphire eyes glistening with a bit of humor. "If I'm lucky I'll find a dancing bear and a singing fish too, but I'm not holding out hope." All a fanciful native at best of course, but it was enough to make her grin at her own joke. "Or, you know, maybe just a handsome man to share a bit of tea with. That's just as good in my opinion." Her front paws shifted, changing from her right paw laying across her left to the other way around as she smirked at the dark and attractive stranger to see what he would say in return. That was half of the fun of this playful banter, wasn't it? Getting to see how others reacted and how they might reply in response. |
