Her hands are equally possessive, holding him close, feeling the shape and warmth of his shoulders and back, slipping lower...

She parts from the kiss, whispering, "Maybe we could find a quiet place somewhere? Private?"

"I think dating smart girls with great ideas is hot" He says and nods "Where? "

She bites her lip. "There's an old gazebo not too far from the Lodge. It's covered in tarps. Cold, but..." A shrug. "I mean, Firnost, but that's a lot of trod travel..."

His eyes sparkle, "I know a place I think. "And he guides her away.

An eager look, and she follows his lead.

He primes her with brushes dangerously close to where hands shouldn't go...save in the dark... and kisses along the neck and shoulder and...

whether he can entice her to make love in the Kestrel is another mater entirely.

Given the extremes of mood and music and just a hint of satyr-driven passions earlier, he is able to inspire her to just the right amount of recklessness. If we get caught...well...worth it! she thinks, and then abandons rational thought for a good long time.

(Fade to risk!)

Jimmy goes unnoticed by those not looking for him

Adam enters the ice cream shop, looking at his phone with a puzzled expression.

Jimmy motions him over "Hey, thanks man"

"Huh?" Adam looks over. "Oh! Oh, hey."

Adam heads over.

"Can I buy you an icecream for you trouble? Or you want to get to bussiness?" Jimmy says "I saw how you helped Zane last night. Iwas hoping you could help me. There's this girl and... vanilla or chocolate?"

"Rocky Road, dude!" He grins. "I think I see the problem with just that question."

"I'm doing ice cream wrong?" He orders though

"Definitely. Tell me about the girl."

"Her name is Casey... she's like...wow..funny and peppy and stands out doing her own thing"

"She go to our school?"

"Nope, she's with our rivals.. it's star crossed, I tell you"

"Pffft.... that's no big deal." He digs into his ice cream. "What does she like?"

"Bright colors... and T shirts that meme or make fun of memes"

"Too easy. Does she know you're alive?"

A BIG Grin "NOT a chance in hell" And his smile dies "If I were on fire she'd only remark how warm the room was" A sigh

Adam sucks on his spoon a moment. "Well, not a -total- disaster, dude. At least you get a clean slate, right?"

"I guess I hadn't thought of that" He nods

"Ok, so.... when do you see her?"

"Weekends , tonight in fact" A sigh

"Well, want me to go with you, suss it out?"

"Would you? Look, at the gloaming, you somehow managed to get Zane TWO Girls at once. that's.. like a superpower"

"Nah, that was all him. And, I kinda hang out with him so...... Ok, so tell me about yourself."

"Oh it's hard to explain ,for a piskie, we blend? it's adefense, so we often seem to like what other folks like, but you know, I'm a regualr guy. I like music and watching sports and video games.I'm kind of into geography, I want to visit places"

Adam nods, listening.

"I'm also good at languages," he says proudly

"Ok, see, -that- is cool. What do you speak?"

"Spanish, French, Japanese, some Korean but only enough so if i can hear Symon curse us out I know what he's going onto... he really needs to work on his syntax..very American. I also am learning some CHerokee because you never know when the next big thing is"

Adam points his spoon at Jimmy. "HA! Ok, hold on.... ok....."

"French." He nods. "Look, you blend, right? SO we need to make you stand out, right??"

"Oui" he agrees

"Ok, and she doesn't know you, right?"

Adam is grinning, smiling brightly, eyes dancing; clearly he's had a thought that appeals.

"Not at all" he admits

"DUDE.... damn, I wish it were me.... you're a French foreign exchange student."

"Zot alors, the hell you say?"

He blinks, but looks intrigued

"-Yeah!-" Adam leans forward. "And you go to our school. And you've got this French accent and maybe don't understand all the English around you but enough to get the gist and I introduce you. She'll -remember- that!"

"Lie my way to a better cooler me?" Intrigued indeed! "Why has no guy ever thought of this before?"
