[Seeing as she's chose to sit next to him, he's just going to have to put a hand on her lap rather than play footsie.]

I figured he was just a blushing virgin.

[hexappeal]

[She lifts her leg in acknowledgment. Just enough that it can be felt moving.]

No, he's "not interested in that," basically. Seems to harbor a healthy crush on Han, though.

[doubleoohbaby]

You certainly know how to pick them. [He's not judgin' though, man. He is all good with her having healthy friendships with dudes so long as sexing stays out of the equation.]

[hexappeal]

I know. [She won't mention Daimon, though. Not because he flirted so heavily with her, but because he was hot-tempered and she could only see it going down with them beating the shit out of one another over literally nothing. Ugh, angry magic guys.] He's a decent guy, though. Not quite my type, too scrawny.

[doubleoohbaby]

[James reaches for the menu on the table despite the fact he's already made up his mind.] Which is why you're so glad for such a hunk to finally return.

[hexappeal]

Don't make me embarrass you in public, honey. [She just leans over his shoulder and reads the menu from there. She was still pretty set on pancakes, toast, and all the coffee they had, as strong as they had it.]

[doubleoohbaby]

[Tilting it towards her, because really, he's not actually looking except maybe glancing at the pies. He's being a fatty ok, don't judge.] How kind of you to warn me, sweetheart.

[hexappeal]

[Coincidentally, that's now what she is peering at. She won't get one, but if he does she will pick at it.] Anytime.

[doubleoohbaby]

[But he won't share. She is not allowed any.]

How drunk did you get?

[hexappeal]

Oh, now you ask. Let's see, I... [She looks up at the ceiling, more ashamed than she might let on.] Threatened to turn Bruce into several animals, cried several times, did some karaoke, and teleported him and myself into the East River instead of my house -- twice. If that's any indication. [She doesn't mention how much crying or how she was red and poofy and just upset. Ugh.]

[doubleoohbaby]

[Even with the whole crying thing (he feels kinda bad but again, couldn't be helped) James can't help but smile, nodding over a waitress for them to place their orders, his own being exactly what he'd said, black coffee and all.]

Sounds like you owe him an apology.

[hexappeal]

[She knows he couldn't help it. It was only mentioned because... well, it was the truth. When the waitress comes over, she gets exactly what she said she was (but strawberries with the pancakes, of course) and her coffee black. She'll pick a bit of sugar from the packets herself, maybe.]

I did the morning after. I think I tried to spoon him a few times, but he was pretty mortified by it.

[doubleoohbaby]

Poor bloke. You've probably traumatised him, you know? [James could only deal with such treatment because he is hard wearing and also just glad to be in bed with her.]

[hexappeal]

No, I'm certain I did. If he isn't gay, he's weirdly asexual. I didn't really care, though. I just didn't want to be alone. At that point, I was afraid you weren't coming back at all and I was ready to go into a downward spiral.

[She realizes that it sounds like she might be trying to make him feel guilty, so she kind of shifts again, pressing her arm tightly against him.] I really need to learn to cope better. Though I guess I managed nearly two weeks without doing anything stupid, so...

[doubleoohbaby]

[He leans into her comfortably, head twisting just enough to peer at her and an arm sliding about her waist.] Look, I'm not going to go anywhere without telling you first. If, for some unknown reason, I don't want to talk, I'll text or leave a letter or something. Don't immediately assume I've pissed off because of you. Neither of us want you doing something you might... regret. I'll do my best to return the favour as well.

[hexappeal]

[She feels comforted, but she hates that she needed to feel that way at all. That he thinks that she is that upset (which she was, but that's beside the point.).] You could have been ported out. It didn't seem like you were, but it had crossed my mind. I didn't want to go through that again.

[doubleoohbaby]

[A grunt, slightly dismissive.] If I get ported out, I expect you to move on. You're not to be blamed if I show up again a week or two later. [He doesn't want her hanging on, he's more used to the idea of dying and no one caring. Thanks MI6.]

[hexappeal]

That's not how it works. Even if I wanted to, that's not how it works. [She's quiet, since they're in public, instead choosing to voice her feelings on the matter by curling closer.]

[doubleoohbaby]

I'm just saying. If that's what needs to be said, then there it was. [but whatever, their coffee is being brought over and James is very good at pretending to be super cheerful, which he does to the waitress with a bright;] Thank you!

[hexappeal]

I'm not sure what needs to be -- [She offers a polite smile to the waitress, but isn't obnoxiously pleasant in a way that might make people suspicious like some people.] Sorry. There's not really a correct response to this, I guess.

[And bullshit. If he were gone for a month and she slept with someone else, he might not mention being pissed or it bothering him in any way, but it would.]

[doubleoohbaby]

[He'd be pissed, oh so pissed. But he wouldn't blame her for it. Couldn't blame her. Fuck the Porter for making life even more predictable than it already is.]

It's fine. We're fine. Don't worry about it.

[hexappeal]

[No, but it would affect his attitude. Even if he didn't want it to.]

I think I'm going to be obnoxiously clingy over the next several days. Sorry.

[doubleoohbaby]

[So many things can change his attitude. He's high sensitive. :c]

I suppose I can manage that. Only if I'm allowed to return the favour.

[hexappeal]

[High sensitive, high pretending not to be.]

I can manage.

[doubleoohbaby]

It's settled then. Might as well not leave the house for a few days, really.
