With a bit of liquid courage

The scarred woman grinned when she saw how proudly Iroh puffed up at her compliment. She always enjoyed making others happy in whatever various way that might come about and it was clear that he held a lot of pride in being able to brew and make these concussions. It was nice to have something outside of your "work" or day to day life that you could enjoy. For her it had been exploration and learning things like weather patterns and stars. It wasn't always that was as tangible or easy to share as his passion for making tea, but the same sort of concept applied. It was so interesting to see this side of him considering how different he had been on the battlefield. Although, if she was being honest, wasn't she also a completely different wolf when she was fighting? Of course the intoxication certainly had something to do with this as well, but it was an intriguing thought that her wandering mind liked to think about.

He earned another fit of laughter when he compared this to getting a tea pot swung at her head. The sound was very distinctly feminine and almost more like a giggle then a full bodied laugh. Even though she preferred to present herself as strong and capable, mostly for her own peace of mind and benefit out of a fear that she might be taken advantage of and treated poorly again, there were a few things that gave away how feminine she actually was. Her giggle was definitely one of those things. It was really hard to decipher if Iroh was just that clever and likable on his own or if it was the alcohol making them both a bit more loose and agreeable than normal, but did it really matter? They were having a good time and that seemed to be what this whole party was about.

Iroh's question caught her off guard and she gave him a surprised glance as her drink rattled brain began to put together the question with the suggestive tone of his voice. When clicked for her the realization was visible across her features and she glanced away from him with a small, shy smile, her ears folding back against her head. "O-oh! Um..." she stuttered uncertainly as her face began to feel hot with a nervous flush. She'd honestly not thought anyone here would offer her such a thing. She wasn't incredibly interesting looking or what she thought of as beautiful with the scars that marred her leg and cut across where her cheek and neck met. She wasn't like him with his intricate markings and interesting, swirled eyes.

She reminded herself of why she had even come to the party in the first place... to let herself explore and experience things that she had never been allowed to experience before. She had fallen happily into Resin's arms as soon the moment that she felt she was ready to take on being in a relationship, but there was still a tiny bit of insecurity and curiosity that came from knowing that Resin had been with several others before they got together. Tamsyn felt incredibly inexperienced in comparison. Letting herself give in to the curiosity and the alcohol driven confidence, she tentatively brought her gaze back to Iroh's. "I, um... I think maybe you could," she replied just as quietly, her heart pattering in her chest wildly.
