[He goes quiet, still, like he's trying not to scare her off. He likes the way her breath falters and the affection is there in his voice, whether he wants it to be or not.] Good. I think. [He decides the best course of action is to try and take her mind off the unknown. Make her laugh?] Well, I could run some tests on you. It'd require some [Eyebrow waggle.] hands on inspections.

I could try... something else if it's bad nuts... [It's a weird offer, but she's sincere enough about it. But it's lost in the next moment in a laugh that sounds startled out of her, not expecting his tactic to be quite so... forward.] Oh really? Hands on? [She's obviously smiling now, though she still sounds a bit uncertain.] You know, I do understand what that means, right?

	[Smirk.] It's purely scientific, I assure you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Phone: Emily/Ed soundofwings 2015-09-16 05:17 am UTC (link)
	[Still smiling, even though the worry stays close and heavy in her mind.] Oh, of course. All for the science. Should I expect full and proper scientific method? Hypothesis to conclusion? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Phone: Emily/Ed misterenigma 2015-09-16 05:19 am UTC (link)
	[Very clearly a programmer and not a real scientist:] I think I'm going to take the space biologist approach to this and just poke at you until something happens. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Phone: Emily/Ed soundofwings 2015-09-16 05:21 am UTC (link)
	I think that what happens will be me poking back. Also, that's the worst idea. What if I grow tentacles or something when you poke me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Phone: Emily/Ed misterenigma 2015-09-16 05:23 am UTC (link)
	[With familiarity he really shouldn't have:] Your hair is already full of tentacles. It's your aesthetic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[It doesn't seem strange for him to say - not at first. She laughs softly.] It is not. I promise there are no octopi living on my head. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Phone: Emily/Ed misterenigma 2015-09-16 05:30 am UTC (link)
	Maybe I like the octopus. I've been seeing supernatural stuff almost my whole life, so taking a Cthulhu girl out on a date would be in my wheelhouse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Phone: Emily/Ed soundofwings 2015-09-16 05:31 am UTC (link)
	[Absolutely nothing from her end for a moment, not even movement. And then, with a smile that even sounds warm.] A date? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Phone: Emily/Ed misterenigma 2015-09-16 05:37 am UTC (link)
	Don't act surprised. I've been trying to make plans with you since before I called. [Affectionately:] I'm going to keep asking until you give me a yes or no. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Phone: Emily/Ed soundofwings 2015-09-16 05:40 am UTC (link)
	I can act a little surprised if I want. [And then a pause. As she smiles.] Yes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Phone: Emily/Ed misterenigma 2015-09-16 05:43 am UTC (link)
	[Smile.] Yeah? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Phone: Emily/Ed soundofwings 2015-09-16 05:44 am UTC (link)
	[Almost just a breath.] Yeah. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Phone: Emily/Ed misterenigma 2015-09-16 05:47 am UTC (link)
	[Smile. She makes him feel high in a weird way. Not anything like other girls he's gone out with. And, he knows how dangerous that is. Still:] Pinball? So, if the date goes horribly, at least we have an arcade to get lost in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Phone: Emily/Ed soundofwings 2015-09-16 05:50 am UTC (link)
	[It's like she can feel him smiling through the phone, and smiles back in return.] I like that idea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Phone: Emily/Ed misterenigma 2015-09-16 05:51 am UTC (link)
	And if it goes well, I'll make you come to Bruce's party with me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Phone: Emily/Ed soundofwings 2015-09-16 05:53 am UTC (link)
	[Another little pause that's filled with nerves again, but after a breath, as she smiles.] If it goes well, we can talk about the party... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Phone: Emily/Ed misterenigma 2015-09-16 05:59 am UTC (link)
	Those terms are acceptable. [Smirk.] Besides, I'm going to make sure there's a karaoke there and I don't think you're ready for my tantalizing rendition of "Semi-Charmed Life." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Phone: Emily/Ed soundofwings 2015-09-16 06:03 am UTC (link)
	[So much tease:] What, no Black Velvet? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Phone: Emily/Ed misterenigma 2015-09-16 06:06 am UTC (link)
	[Laughing.] Hey, that's reserved for Dolly. She's there every night owning that- wait. What? [Directed at himself. Quietly:] Who the crap is Dolly? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Phone: Emily/Ed soundofwings 2015-09-16 01:44 pm UTC (link)
	[No response for a bit - "Dolly" sounds familiar to her too. She eventually swallows the strange feeling in the back of her throat (ow).] This is weird. [Another hesitation, another breath to steady herself.] Maybe we just stick with pinball? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Phone: Emily/Ed misterenigma 2015-09-16 02:58 pm UTC (link)
	Pinball. No talking about comics, karaoke and [Pause as he thinks.] tacos? That sounds right. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Phone: Emily/Ed soundofwings 2015-09-16 03:20 pm UTC (link)
	[Automatically:] But I love tacos. They're amaz... [Trailing off and then taking a deep breath.] Okay, no talking about tacos either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Phone: Emily/Ed misterenigma 2015-09-16 03:24 pm UTC (link)
	[He laughs and shakes his head.] Okay. I'm really going to hang up now before we make things weird again. Text me if your brother tells you something interesting? I want to hear about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
