take me home tonight

Iroh was a patient man and he was wise beyond his years, but this encounter wasn’t much like anything he’d been through before. He tried not to get frustrated with himself for not keeping a quicker wit, or how restless he felt. Iroh remained still though, he tried to look relax as he lounged with her by the light of the dying fire. Her pretty features were clear to see in the low light and the way her bright eyes caught the flame made his heart skip a beat.

He could see her amusement as she answered him and dipped her head to finish the tea he spoke of. His gaze was more bold now, and his eyes didn’t much leave her as the darkness fell over them. Iroh was met with clear blue water eyes as she considered her question. The way she tilted her head and kept his attention so easily both thrilled and worried him. He wanted more of her though, there was something he couldn’t deny. She was charming, beautiful, and she’d enjoyed his tea. He’d be lying to deny his attraction.

Elise was suggestive in her return, she had little control on how their story played out, Iroh would be the one to decide. The thought excited him, but he remained stoic besides the half grin that played on his dark features. ”I’m not sure there’s much that is more riveting than tea..” Iroh teased, his heart beating like rapid fire in his chest as he made himself speak without thinking. ”Except getting to know you better, Elise.” His grin flashed as blue and lavender eyes danced down the curve of her body unabashedly.

”Unless you have a better idea?” As he spoke the Aerie warrior lifted himself to his paws, surprised his voice hadn’t stuttered. He held himself with a heavy confidence, but inwardly his limbs were shaking and he could barely move. Taking on the Armada two to one and been easier than crossing those few steps to close the distance between them. He grinned down at her softly as he sought silent permission before aiming to brush his nose against her cheek with a light affection as he pressed back against her boundaries.
