So I had this idea...
He was going to do it today.

He walked toward Rose's room, hoping she wasn't somewhere else on the grounds today, because he was going to do it. He was going to ask her on a...well, not so much a date as an outing for two people. Nevermind that it could be construed as a date, but he didn't want that kind of pressure attached to it. He straightened the collar of his jacket and took a deep breath, knocking on the door.

He tried to think of it as if he were selling insurance, but the thought only made him laugh, so he waited for Rose to answer the door and hoped she was in a talking mood.

Rose would notice a great deal of tension ease from Joey's shoulders as she mentions she can't read minds. His smile comes as easy as always now, and he relaxes a bit more.

He reaches out to take Rose's hand--if she doesn't resist--and looks at the area where the claw appeared and disappeared from. When he doesn't see a scar, he's satisfied, though he doesn't immediately let go of her hand.

"You're full of surprises, Professor Rose." he says simply.

	Rose doesn't resist, though a brief moment of surprise flashed across her face. "More than you know, Joey," she said with a slightly mischievous grin. "More than you know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well that sword cuts both ways, Rose. Did you know I can read palms? Picked it up from a friend of mine who knew a performer in the Munich Circles." Joey smiles. "Would you like me to give it a try?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	An eyebrow arched. "What the heck," she said, mirthfully. "I'll try anything once." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Unless you like, right?" he says, a note of mischief in his voice.

Before she can answer, he begins looking at the various lines of her hand, nodding and making a few different 'Hm' and 'Ah' sounds here and there. He'd learned the technique when he was a kid back home, and it became one of the more successful scams he'd run.

He found himself amazed, however, at what Rose's palm told him.

"You're cautious with your heart." he begins, tracing the heart line with his finger. "You feel as deep as anyone, but you don't let people know, because they'd take advantage if they could. You've been...hurt or uprooted along the way." he infers, continuing the examination.

"You're intelligent, of course, but you know a lot that can't be found in books, too. But if push came to shove, you'd go with your gut before you went with a 'time-honored' plan that probably work 8 times out of 10." he continues, thinking that over as he moves on.

"Your health line is the deepest one I've ever seen, Rose. You're going to see and do tons in your life, provided you don't decide to play chicken with a bus or somethn'. You live life as it comes, and you live it. You don't worry or wait for what might happen. You go with what is happening." he says.

"All in all, that cute smile hides a lot mischief, Professor Rose. You might rub off on me yet." he says.

	Rose kept her expression carefully schooled as Joey read her palm, though she fought the urge to nod a few times during it. "You ain't too bad at this stuff," she told him, and leaned in a little bit closer. She planted a kiss on his lips. "Rub off like that, maybe?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I ain't bad a lot of things. Pity is, a lot of the things I'm good at ain't legal." he says, leaning in as well. The kiss is welcome, and he enjoys it, brief as it is. "Yeah, just like that." he whispers, before kissing her again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The kiss is longer this time, a bit more passionate. Misha and David are nice, and even Rachel isn't too terrible if she ignores her, and Logan and Mrs. Summers had been doing their best to make her feel welcome, but, honestly? Joey's the real reason Rose is starting to feel a little more like she belongs in this crazy universe. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He doesn't want to stop, but at this rate, it might be tomorrow before he remembers to think again if this keeps up. He breaks the kiss gently and just smiles at her. "We should probably get on that whole getting-ready-for-tonight thing. You might wanna get the lesson plan ready, Professor Rose. I've got lots to learn about you." he grins.

	Aaaw, heck. Well, more time for that later, she supposed. Rose grinned. "Oh, I've got lots I can teach you," she teased. "But you're probably right." (Reply to this)(Parent)
