[She gets another kiss for that, his answer murmured against her lips.]

Nothing but convenient, this move. Hmm. [He is more than okay with this.]

[boltbadge]

[She chuckles, quietly, against his lips in turn.]

Hmmhmm, why'd it take me so long to make a move on you...

[infinitefrown]

You did better with acting on it than I did, in any case. [N....Not that that's hard...........]

[boltbadge]

You wouldn't have made a move, would you? Even if you had thought about being with me.

Did you think about it, before I spoke up?

[infinitefrown]

I did. Ah... ... but I tried not to. [...] I hadn't really considered myself, er... in the runnings....

[ahah hah ha ha ha ingo your modesty goes too far and turns into poor self esteem......]

[boltbadge]

And why not? What does some stranger have that you don't, Ingo?

[infinitefrown]

[A farther-ranging set of visible emotions? More wordly knowledge? Less attachment to trains? They're not hermits?.....]

I'm... not sure. [...] I'm a fairly insular person, as you know, so I didn't really.... [think he was well-rounded enough...]

[boltbadge]

Can you even name anything positive about yourself?

[infinitefrown]

[...Um...]

...Strong work ethic? [...but even that has repercussions, doesn't it. GEE INGO YOU DON'T LOOK TOO SURE OF YOURSELF]

[boltbadge]

Oh, really. That's it?

[infinitefrown]

[No? Yes??.... UH...] Well, I'm an adept battler, I suppose...

[um, uh... and he can drive trains.... and uh....] I've learned to cook fairly decently over the years....

[but ingo you're still using all those modest modifiers]

[boltbadge]

And how would you describe me, Ingo?

[infinitefrown]

[That's easier.... unless this is a trap oh god NO INGO DON'T OVERTHINK IT] Confident, level-headed, witty, a brilliant battler and a well-adjusted woman.

[He moves his hand up her waist a little, thoughtful.] And quite attractive.

[boltbadge]

And all of those things are things I can easily own up to. But you'd be surprised, wouldn't you, if I said that you are a very handsome, very smart, and very charming man.

[infinitefrown]

...Yes.

[Surprised... and embarrassed.]

[boltbadge]

Do you realize how silly that is, at least? Because you are very much all those things, and more. You're a gentle and loving man, you're very handsome when you're not being cute, and absolutely polite and cordial. Honestly! I boast about you to the other girls, because you're everything a girl could ever dream of having.

[infinitefrown]

Elesa..... [nooo omg stop what is he supposed to say to that AAHHH NOPE HUGGING HER CLOSE SO SHE DOESN'T SEE HIS RED FACE]

[boltbadge]

[Nope she pushes him back!]

No, I want to see your face! It's so cute when it's all red.

[infinitefrown]

Elesa. [SFJHDGJH POUTING

(but he lets her)]

[boltbadge]

Oh, come on, don't be such a wimp! You could stand a little teasing, I know you can.

[Even if she whips out her phone and snaps a photo........]

[infinitefrown]

[sfkjdgh-- NOPE, CROSSING THE YELLOW LINE]

Give me that-- [HE'S GOING FOR IT you know if he gets it he's using his height as an advantage to keep it away from you]

[boltbadge]

[Oh, she knows you're far too polite, so she stuffs it right into her bra. NOPE YOU'RE NOT GETTING IT, NOT UNLESS YOU COP A FEEL.]

I'm saving it!

[infinitefrown]

[ NO

HE LOOKS SO CONFLICTED]

...What are you going to do with it? [he is frozen in embarrassed horror]

[boltbadge]

Oh, that depends... I know I'm going to make it the background of my phone...

[infinitefrown]

[she wouldn'-- no, she totally would]

You-- you won't be flashing that all over the place... [...will you?? HIS DIGNITY, ELESA, THINK OF HIS DIGNITY]
