Lennox & Sev | About 11pm
Lennox seemed to think that Tylen and Thea would love to move in and he made that hum of acknowledgement as he thought about it. Would they really? It wouldn't be weird? And if they did then Thea's guardian would need to live there too, that was fine with Sev. And he'd probably have to take Byron's advice and hire some sort of staff to clean occasionally. Maybe cook. It seemed pretentious to Sev, but it probably wasn't all that crazy.
Realizing she was teasing him about the dogs and cats, he chuckled back. "Don't tell anyone that beneath the scowl is a heart of gold," he teased her. But as the moment grew serious and drawn out with his invitation to her, he wasn't really sure what he expected from her. He had determined he would stay her friend, no matter what that meant. As she leaned in to kiss him on the cheek, his heart skipped a beat and he was sure he had probably flushed as he smiled back at her, feeling like that young stupid kid who had kissed her impulsively so long ago.
Her words meant everything and he nodded, another hum at her, because he didn't really have any words to say. 'I love you of course I'll always be there,' just wasn't appropriate. And as they continued to hold each other's hands, neither wanting to let go of the delicate touch as the waiter approached with the offer of more champagne. Sev cleared his throat and let go of Lennox's hand. Placing his empty glass on the tray he thought for a moment then looked at Lennox again, deciding to just dive right in.
"Do you want to come see the house? Now?" He gestured around the party. "This isn't really my thing and I'd rather spend time just with you." A pause. "Catching up." His dark eyes held her pale blue ones which looked surprised as he waited for her answer.
"I have a car waiting, I'd already planned on leaving right after midnight." The halfwitch wasn't sure what to do or say now. What if he was overstepping? "But only if you want to. I don't mind staying here with you either." Another beat. "Or alone if you have other friends you need to see."
