Who: Lucy Harris & Match
Where: Lucy's place
When: Before the Apocalypse thing
Warnings: TBD?

Lucy had spent the majority of the day cleaning her place. Ever since Haldir had disappeared, she had let things go a bit. She didn't need to worry about money, she found. She was honestly surprised she hadn't gained about a million pounds since then, considering she pretty much had holed herself up in her flat and that was it. She tucked a strand of dark hair behind her ear, looking around. She knew that Match would be here any moment, so she wouldn't need to fidget much longer. It was going to be good to talk to someone again. She had even gotten snacks for them. She didn't know what he liked, so she'd gotten a few different things.

	Lucy turned as the knock sounded. She walked over and took a breath, opening the door. She smiled at Match, her eyes quickly taking in the suit and the roses. "They're beautiful," she said. "Please, come in." She stepped aside. The skirt of her dress shifted against her legs. She didn't feel quite so overdressed now, seeing him in his suit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He slipped in and smiled, taking her in and feeling a surge of gratitude that he had not misread this. Once inside, he held out the roses. "I have heard that it is a custom to give flowers to a beautiful lady, when she has spoken to you, and caught your eye." He bowed his head to her, still very unsure of himself.

Lucy smiled, her eyes brightening. "You are too sweet," she said, her tone light. "They are beautiful, thank you. Why don't you have a seat while I put these in water?"

She took the flowers, taking an appreciative sniff before moving towards the kitchen. Years in her profession left her with a walk where she automatically moved to entice. But this time it didn't feel forced. Like with Haldir, it felt natural. Like it was a simple move to flirt and not to earn the next buck.

	He settled to a chair and watched her, and swallowed as he did. Wow... He smiled softly, watching. So much felt new to him, but she... she felt... real. And that was good, right? "How have you been?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm doing better. Having you come visit kept me busy all day so I could get ready," she said, putting the flowers into a vase and bringing them into the room to set on a nearby table. "Things are still somewhat rough for me, but I'm getting better." She turned to look at him before moving to sit near him. "How have you been?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Good. If I can help at all, let me know?" He smiled softly. When she sat, he nodded to her. "Good, mostly just wandering, flying, and meeting people. Lonely more than anything else." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She rested her arm against the back of the sofa, comfortably watching him. "Why lonely?" she asked. "You don't seem like someone that would be." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	darkmirror 2008-02-16 02:04 am UTC (link)
	He hesitated, then smiled ruefully. "I do not trust easily, or open myself easily. Responding to you was a rare thing, and I... I do not do such a lot. So, I stay lonely, even as I am among people." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bringonthemen 2008-02-16 02:07 am UTC (link)
	Lucy nodded. "Alone even in a crowded room. I know that feeling," she said. "I've been adjusting a bit since coming here. I kept myself very guarded for a long time." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	darkmirror 2008-02-16 02:15 am UTC (link)
	He smiled at her. "Why are you being guarded? You are lovely, and kind..." He shook his head. "I dear I do not understand." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She toyed with the lacy edge of her top before looking at him. "I used to be a prostitute," she finally said. "It makes it hard to know if someone is getting close to me for the wrong reasons." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	darkmirror 2008-02-16 02:23 am UTC (link)
	He nodded. "Ahhh, yes. I understand. I was once a villain, and known for my lack of mercy, and for vendettas, mindlessness. People who know me, from then, look at me as if I am still that person." he smiled softly. "What you did makes no difference to me, as long as you know what you are now, and are happy with it."

	Lucy's eyes widened a little before she shook her head. "I can't envision you as a villain. You are far too sweet for something so horrible." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	darkmirror 2008-02-17 01:31 am UTC (link)
	He chuckled. "I have changed a lot. Claiming my own life, taking responsibility for it, all of that... it has led to a new attitude." He smiled. "Sadly few understand. I am glad that you do." His smile to her was warm. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lucy smiled, slipping her fingers into her hair. "That's kind of what I've done," she said. "I realized that I had a chance at starting my life over and becoming who I always wanted to be." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	darkmirror 2008-02-19 12:39 am UTC (link)
	He smiled, watching her. "You are amazing from what I have seen." Then he cocked his head, curious. "What do you want to be? Or who?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"A singer," she said. "It was a side thing I did at the Red Rat to draw in customers, but my primary job there was to sleep with men." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	darkmirror 2008-02-19 02:01 am UTC (link)
	He nodded. "Perhaps you could be one here, in this strange new world?" He smiled at her. "I do not know anything of such work, but if I can help, I will." He nodded. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I was considering it," Lucy commented. She smiled softly and reached out without thinking to run her fingers gently against his cheek. "Thank you, you are sweet." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He shivered, then turned his head to kiss her hand. "I just speak plainly." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bringonthemen 2008-02-23 11:35 pm UTC (link)
	Lucy shivered when he turned and kissed her hand. Her fingers curled against his cheek. "Plainly or not, your words warm me," she admitted softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I had hoped they might. You fascinate me, and draw me, Lucy. I do not know what this is, but I like it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bringonthemen 2008-02-23 11:56 pm UTC (link)
	"I admit you've fascinated me since we started talking. You're unlike anyone I've ever met before," she said, watching him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I am... not normal." He smiled softly. "Would you know my story? Or would you rather it saved for another day?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Her finger gently caressed his cheek. "Tell me your story and about yourself." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
