Workout time
Her hair gotten up, Cindy followed to the JSA's workout room. And tried to calm herself down.

She was normally a very private person about That Sort of Thing. There never seemed any point in mentioning her preferences to people because she didn't expect to be dating for a long, long time. Maybe after she'd had time to really establish herself. Market herself. Really showcase her brains and capabilities. Maybe then someone would want her.

Today had blindsided her. But she wasn't complaining.

And besides it was good to get started on the training right out. She had a lot to learn.

	"That doesn't sound corny at all, really. It sounds honest. I just didn't realize that you were so...focused on other aspects of your life." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, yeah, I've tried to be pretty focused at school. And at St. Elias, well... if I asked anybody out, and she said no, or said yes and regretted it, it would kind of put a tension in the living environment, you know?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I thought tension was a normal part of the experience?" Nic wasn't sure, but she assumed as much, considering her own adventures with awkward. "So this is all totally new for you, huh?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cindy considers that first statement. "Maybe, but at a boarding school, where everybody's in pretty close quarters, it just seemed like too much risk for too slim a chance." Cindy smiled a little sheepishly. "Yeah. Gee, I'm usually much better at marketing than this. I keep making it clear that I don't know what I'm doing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Is ok. Everyone starts somewhere." Nic grinned for a moment and she recognized that Cindy would probably need a little...nudge. Nic could do that. Quietly and with her hawk-like grace, Nic stood up a little, leaned over the table, grabbed Cindy's face...and kissed her. "There." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There's a brief little low sound as Cindy's kissed, and it's not just of surprise. She manages to overcome the shock to kiss back a little -- one should always contribute to the things one is interested (very, very interested) in, after all -- but it's all too brief. "Oh," she says quietly, then smiles, staring all the more. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That wasn't awkward now was it?" A little physically weird, yes. Surprise-kissing someone over a table was a little strange, but it was still good. Nic felt a bit accomplished. "We could do it again and stuff." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That'd be really nice." Their food is getting finished; their check is being brought; Cindy's platinum card is being handed over. And her eyes barely leave Nic for an instant. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then we should get out of here so we can do that then." Nic stood up, waiting only half-patiently for the receipt to be brought to Cindy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cindy...has to just round the tip up considerably. Very good at it though she normally is, this is no time for decimals. It's signed. She rises and scurries to escort Nic out into the night. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Once outside Nic grabs Cindy and kisses her properly, curling her arms around the slighter girl and pulling her close all the while lifting her off the ground. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cindy kisses back with eager inexperience, then clutches as they're getting off the ground. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I won't drop you, I promise." Nic pulls Cindy close and tight as they lift off. "I don't think we have much time left before my brother has a shitfit, you know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I trust you," Cindy insists, but still clutching. "And of course I wouldn't want you to be late." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No worries, we'll be on time. I will just have to kiss you the whole way there. I can fly and kiss at the same time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The heat from Cindy's blushing will be palpable. "Sounds good," she says quietly. Even if normally she would critique the planning and safety skills there. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Monday, 5:55 p.m. hawkgirl 2010-09-06 01:08 am UTC (link)
	Nic blinked a little. "Cindy, are you okay with this? I mean, you seem...to just be going along with it. Except for the kissing me back stuff. That you're doing. Am I doing this too fast?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Monday, 5:55 p.m. littleladylord 2010-09-06 01:20 am UTC (link)
	"Sorry," she says a little sheepishly. "I have to admit, I'm a little out of my element. But faster than I expected doesn't mean too fast, at all. And on things like flying, you'd definitely have the judgment to rely on even if I'm off guard." She looks at Nic very, very, very earnestly. "I promise I can get better at this."

	Cindy, who's used to thinking that she's in the interview stage for someone's friendship weeks or even months into knowing them, blinks just slightly herself, then lets go with one hand -- the other arm still snugly clinging -- to bury it in Nic's hair and actually initiate the kiss this time.

	This was more like it and Nic reacted favorably, kissing Cindy back as her own hand tangled in Cindy's hair. This was nice and she was enjoying it, so much so that she was still kissing Cindy as they touched down outside the Brownstone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And breathing must soon happen. "We still have some time before school starts. I'll take you out to lunch and then another practice session on Friday? Or... would you like to have lunch at my place?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Monday, 5:55 p.m. hawkgirl 2010-09-06 03:38 pm UTC (link)
	Lunch at her place? She wouldn't have to hide the wings if they did that as she often did when she went to restaurants (booths were NOT wing-friendly.) "Lunch at your place sounds like fun!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Great! Would Rex be less irritable or more, you think, if you just came over instead of my picking you up? I'd like to minimize your problems there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
