[Well hello there! Vander made an appreciative sound as she came in to catch his lips in a kiss, and his hand rose from his tumbler to cup the back of her neck lightly as he returned the gesture with a smile.
Simple at first, but he did part his lips to tease the tip of his tongue against her upper lip as he also offered a wink.]
[Shaw has no problem whatsoever with that - it only invites her to deepen the kiss herself, opening her mouth to his and introducing her own tongue into the equation, looking for access.]
[That they were kissing in an open bar and both were gamely about the experience only encouraged him as he shifted his hand to tangle more in her dark hair. He flicked her tongue with his own when it came into play, but he actually backed off and let her tongue into his mouth without a battle. In fact, he welcomed it, and it earned a soft sigh of pleasure from him.]
[She is making sooooo many good choices today. Leaning back on her stool and getting out of his personal space (for now), she downs the rest of her drink in one fell swoop. What can she say? She's suddenly very much in a hurry.]
It's the facial hair. Girls who don't like a little scruff don't know what they're missing.
[Vander shifted his weight on his stool as he downed the last of his own drink and set the tumbler towards the bartender before rising. He stepped away from the stool and offered her a hand.]
Well, you're in luck on that front. You can scritch it as much as you like.
[He moved to lead them out of the pub, even if it would be easier and faster to just have some fun here, there was something exhilarating heading back to the apartments with a dame he just met.]
I've got a place that's farther away, and it's top secret.
[She walks her fingers up his arm as they go along.]
One of my roommates is a recluse.
[She's saying it lightly enough, playing it off as a joke, but it also has the benefit of being completely true on both counts. His place it will have to be.]
Fine. I keep my living location on the down-low, so I appreciate if you do that.
[He wasn't interested in some from his world knowing where he lived in case they decide to bomb the place. It was better for all that things were just kept fun, right.
He moved to sling a big arm across the back of her shoulders and hand dangling down the other side enough to stroke his fingers over her arm. He hoped she didn't mind, but considering the kiss, he thought he was on the right track as they exited the bar and were deposited on the street.]
And just so we're clear, you shouldn't feel the need to justify things to me. This is having a good time. And you can walk any time, no questions asked.
[She absolutely does not mind the arm, and while she won't get too saucy out here in public (more out of respect for what she imagines his own comfort levels are, rather than any sense of personal propriety), she'll search around for a back pocket to slide her hand into. It's the polite way of groping ass.
His first comment gets a quick nod of understanding; this is not at all a strange request in her mind, and she has plenty of experience with keeping secrets. The second comment, though, makes her quirk an amused eyebrow. It's not that she doesn't approve of men saying these things to women - it's that she always finds it a little funny when men say these things to her.]
[The undercity was full of confident women and men alike, but Etraya had impressed on him that very few people were certain of what they wanted and how to achieve that end. Normally he found it easy to slide into a scene and feel it out, determine what the outcome would be before it happened and aimed in that direction if it suited him.
She was like a breath of fresh air. The fact that she slid a hand into his back pocket knowing it was welcomed earned a little upturn of his lips. His arm relaxed like a confident weight across her shoulders in return, and he had the impression they were about to experience a fun night together.
He inclined his head at her return comment.]
That won't be a problem. I don't get the sense I'm going to wake up in the morning missing one or both of my kidneys with you. All good times.
I currently have all my parts, but it's not uncommon that most where I'm from don't.
[When she kept up, he didn't shorten his stride then. Instead, he directed them to the apartments and raised his eyebrows at her story. So few details and that was unfair.]
You stole blood? As in you spilled it all over the place, or you literally took it and put it somewhere else?
I got some needles and tubing, and took it out of his body and put it into mine. I was injured pretty bad trying to rescue the kid he took, and I needed it.
[This is all related entirely matter-of-factly. Ho-hum, just another day's work.]
[In time, he'll likely find her to be a rather odd mix of both options: not the type to look for commitment, but also not the type to posture, or to fret about the potential implications of innocuous gestures. They'd agreed on a casual night. Ergo, any potential pillowtalk will also be casual. Easy-peasy.
And that comment? It absolutely earns a wicked grin from her.]
You're in luck; I've got plenty more where that came from.
[He smirked in return, looking forward to all the stories they were clearly going to be regaling each other with. They were coming up fast on the apartment building thankfully.]
I can't wait. We can regale each others with our wild and exciting lives.
[He noted her pace picking up, and he grinned as he followed suit. Soon enough they were inside the building and he was pressing the button for the elevator.
While they waited, he leaned down to capture her mouth in another kiss. They had clearly gone too long without one.]
[Excellent idea. She kisses back readily, only just stopping short of hiking her leg up over his waist - and when the elevator doors slide open, she gives him a little push, attempting to back him up against the back wall. She's small, but she's a lot stronger than she looks.]
[He moaned into the kiss, unwilling to miss a moment to make it clear that he was interested in this. He felt the shove and even moved with it because there was no point not, and he hit the button to his floor before he settled back against the rear wall and gestured at her to come in close and personal. It was at least twenty second ride and who has time to waste those seconds standing around?]
[New game: how much can she get away with in twenty seconds? Anything he can't easily fix as soon as the doors pop open is out, so she won't try to unbutton his pants or remove his shirt - but she will try to get her hands as far up under his shirt as she can, her short nails digging lightly into the bare skin of his back. Ready, set, go.]
[He growled a sound of pleasure as her hands pulled his shirt from being tucked from his belt, and he returned the favour to at least get one hand up the back of her shirt or at least hike it up enough that he could smooth his palm across the small of her back. He moved in to kiss along her jaw, biting her earlobe the elevator began to slow.]

[He rested his forearms on the table and watched her.]
Not at all. Are you giving me free reign to kiss you? [While he suspected the answer was yes, he’d prefer to have that affirmative.]

[Meanwhile, she's going to go ahead and take that as an affirmative, and lean in to kiss him herself. Hi.]
