You'd be a real pillar of the community with your name on the building. Might damage some of your other business ventures, though.

I think they put you on lists for that kind of thing, and I'm sure you're already on plenty.

[noreasonneeded]

I do care more about my ventures than my name on a building.

See? Why would I need my name in neon when I'm already so watch-worthy.

[acaseofyou]

I figured you would. Though you could always put someone else's name on it. Let them deal with parents and school boards and angry scam-ees.

I'm certainly watching you. What more audience do you need?

[noreasonneeded]

I think I'll just streamline and teach off the books. If I'm going to have a patsy anywhere, it'll be on the Merchant's Council.

Your attention is one of the few I don't mind.

[acaseofyou]

That is certainly the best place for a patsy.

Good. Because I do find it hard to look away sometimes.

[noreasonneeded]

Feels like holding a spotlight's attention. Not in a bad way. You've just got a bright energy.

It's nice.

[acaseofyou]

You make me sound warm. That's pretty nice, too. I figure you could use some of that.

Does it ever make you uncomfortable?

[noreasonneeded]

You do feel warm, even without touching.

Sometimes.

[There's a long pause.] But it also makes me think on what the touching would be like.

[acaseofyou]

[ She's almost discouraged by that 'sometimes' before the next message comes through. ]

We could try the touching, if you want.

Can't say I haven't thought about it myself.

[noreasonneeded]

If you don't mind that it might not be entirely enjoyable for me at first. It isn't personal. But not everyone would want to experience that, I imagine.

[The desire is intermingled with the disgust, and unpacking that phobia isn't something he'd want to share with anyone without fair warning.]

[acaseofyou]

No, I don't figure that's on many people's bucket lists, but I don't mind it. There are far worse things I could spend my time on than holding your hand.

[ Birdie appreciates the warning, but she'd figured as much already, and she's got the time to move slowly and the motivation to start with him in the first place. ]

[noreasonneeded]

Maybe tonight then after your performances and my meetings, we could try it.

[acaseofyou]

I can manage that.

Your office, or the basement?

[noreasonneeded]

I do want to see what you've done to the basement. Can't hurt to try, maybe a change of venue isn't the worst idea.

[acaseofyou]

True. And I'd hate to put you in a position to think of me too much when you're busy working.

[ ooc: Do you want to jump ahead on this one or hop to a new thread? ]

[noreasonneeded]

[OOC: Let's hop to a new thread! I feel a touching scene deserves it. :D Looking forward to it. No prefs on who starts, I don't mind.]

[acaseofyou]

[ ooc: I am deeply unfortunately still at work BUT I have an idea and will put something up for you when I get home. Hopefully soon. ]

[noreasonneeded]

[OOC: Absolutely zero rush, get to it when you can! I hope the rest of your work day isn't too rough. <3]

[ ooc: here we go! ]
