[She nods in agreement, placing the fabric back on the bed before turning to face him again.]
I still haven't sold my place in New York. I know I probably should, since I'm likely never going to need it, but it's a good investment, you know?
[She sublets it to friends when they need it so it's not completely empty all the time, but it's still part of her identity that she's not entirely ready to let go of yet.]
Sometimes you just need that ... place that's yours.
[He steps closer, invading her personal space- not that they have much use for such things most of the time. Carefully, he reaches out to brush a piece of her hair away from her face.]
And what if I told you that I wasn't much in the market for a friend?
[Not that he really knows what he wants. But it's just a question, and one he's curious to know the answer to.]
[Her head tips towards the brush of his fingers, considering his face for a moment. She can't say that what he's looking for is negative, otherwise she doesn't think he'd be employing this much proximity, but she isn't really sure how she feels either.]
I know that I'm a very good friend. I haven't really had a lot of opportunities for ... more than that.
[Not to say she hasn't - she has. But she usually winds up lying to them and that doesn't always settle well.]
I have. And I'm properly terrible at it. [He says with a humorless laugh, more raw and honest that one statement than he is 95% of the time.]
But you've seen all that, haven't you? And yet you keep coming around. You're far too clever for me to think you're just too dim to see it. So it must be something else.
I know what you mean. [Not being honest is what did him in with Andie, after all.] But is this something you want? To see just where this could lead us?
[He's never really had an open, honest conversation about this sort of thing. Look at him growing up.]
[Aww, character growth. Felicity regards him for a moment, before nodding in agreement. She hasn't had a lot of arrangements like this in the past, a chance for where she can be with someone she didn't have to lie to in one way or another, but having it now wouldn't be a bad thing. If anything, it might make things feel a little more normal.]
[Instead of answering in words, he just takes another step closer, removing the last of their personal space. Leaning down, he kisses her. It's softer, more careful, like it's a question all on its own.]</small.
[Felicity kisses him back, simply responding at first, but she'll take it the next step forward after a moment, almost as though it's a reassurance that she's in this as much as he is.]
[as they kiss, Thoster shifts and lifts her off the ground completely smoothly without an ounce of trouble. He brings her to his bed and shows her where the magic happens.

Basically he's great at what he does, but he doesn't know her quite as well as he would like to. They have time for that now.]
[Felicity goes with him willingly, happy to relish that opportunity for closeness.

Clearly ... not her best performance, but she'll probably just blame it on the alcohol. At least she manages to keep up with him pretty well and ... seems like she's getting a pretty good read on him? It's just ... not sexy at all. Sorry, Thoster.]

Seems we have a fair amount in common. I'll admit, it's been quite awhile since I've had that luxury.

It isn't such a bad thing. I've found it makes for good friends.

I like not having to carry too many secrets. At least with arrangements like this.

no subject
Yeah. I could definitely be interested in that.
