Re: In-person: Holly W/Noah N
[Holly was busy nuzzling behind the guy's ear, wanting to smell him and take the scent away for the rest of the night. He'd never thought that would be him, right? I mean, the guys who watched him on cam always said stupid stuff about wanting to know what he smelled like, about wanting to smell him all over the place, and he'd never thought that would be his thing. Turns out, it was totally his thing. He nuzzled and nosed and breathed in deep.] It's all those things, huh? Did you think you'd get it? Did you think you'd get me? At first, I mean. [Maybe it was a non-sequitur, but whatever, and he didn't add anything deadpan or argumentative when Noah said he knew that he, Holly, didn't really want the connection severed.] I haven't seen Adrian since the cheek swab. He's a geneticist, so I think he only does DNA stuff? I was just going to ask if he knew what the portal was, but I can ask him. He already lied for me, though, and he might not want to get in deeper. [He pressed his head back against the tree trunk when Noah twisted, and he loosened his grip so the guy could move if he wanted to.] I don't know that anyone's gone in. It didn't sound like they had, but I could ask. I mean, I don't expect them to tell me the truth, but I can ask. Look, maybe whatever I see in there will give me some bargaining power, right? If it's something they don't want people knowing about or something. And if it is the place Aleksi was? We have an advantage, because he can tell us how to stay safe in there. I mean, he did it.
