WHO: Jade & Prometheus WHEN: Sunday night WHERE: The studio WHAT: Flirting up a storm WARNINGS: tba, probably not much beyond language.
Jade had spent the last two hours flame polishing the edges of her latest stained glass piece while she sipping slowly at the tall glass of gin she'd sat beside her. This was supposed to have been finished days earlier for a client but other things had come up and Jade had not enjoying the man's annoyed tones with her on the phone. If he hadn't been paying her she might have let him know exactly what she thought of him.
But the customer was always right, even when he called her 'little lady'. (Jade didn't appreciate any form of pet name coming from some man twice her age that she didn't know. If she wanted to feel demeaned then she could put on a collar and hit some of the clubs her friends liked.)
When it was done she shut down everything in the studio and grabbed her things, ready to head home. But the light coming through the windows of Theon's studio gave her pause and she smiled to herself but changing direction and heading to his door instead. Stepping inside she said, "working hard?"
With Aletheia here and working for him, he kept his door open and the smoking less. He wanted to make her as comfortable as possible. So when he'd heard the voice he'd assumed it'd be her, despite not having felt her, but instead found Jade.
He smiled and leaned back from the bust, "almost done actually." There were a few more details to go through before he'd find it ready to be given to Pandora. "Come in, please."

[info]heliolatrous 2011-06-12 10:35 pm UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select Jade was already a little buzzed on gin - as she almost always was - but she didn't figure Theon was talking about booze. He'd told her he couldn't drink, after all. She pulled the chair over towards him and shook her head. "No, I'm good. Just dropped in to say howdy."

IF anything it makes me stop fidgeting and be social." He kept alcohol in his place for guests, and often lamented he couldn't drink it without getting really ill. "So how are you?"

"I've been good. Not doing much other than work lately though, and it's getting old."

He nodded, because he understood. He liked drowning in work but now with Aletheia here he had to force himself away. "I'm the same way. Too much work, not enough social life."

He hadn't had a woman say this to him in a long time. He was horribly out of practice. Smiling he set his hand on hers, and nodded. "I think I can do this. I'm just rusty."

Jade shifted on her chair and then leaned in closer. "I'm sure I can steer you round the curves," she whispered before moving her hand Theon's cheek as she kissed him. She would attempt, at least for a little bit, to not be some sort of attacking lioness.

That, and he did like her. Her comment had made him smile before returning the kiss, setting his hands around her waist as he did,

[info]heliolatrous 2011-06-13 12:06 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select Theon may have claimed he was rusty, but Jade thought he was just fine at the kissing. Soon enough the way they were sitting on the chairs just felt restricting and awkward and Jade drew back, lips still brushing his as she spoke softly. "I think you should invite me upstairs, Theon."

His mind felt foggy, and it'd been a while since he'd wanted someone who wanted him back. He managed to get up from the chair and extended his hand to her.

As she followed, Jade let the hand he wasn't holding stroke across his back, but it wasn't until they were inside Theon's apartment that Jade kissed him again.
