The hot tub situation turned into a make out session

Which Adam is entirely ok with!

"Whoo okay okay, you're ... a pretty good kisser" Alanza pulls back "Maybe too good. How many girls have you lured into a hot tub? " ignoring that she lured him

"This one?" His eyes hazy

She says "No I'm sure it was dozens, like a male siren, you draw them to the bubblilng waters, then enchant us with your lips... we're helpless. Oh woe is us. So many young damsels lost to your depredation," a smile breaks as she creates quite the fiction

"All-natural talent, baby." He promises, reaching for another kiss.

A roll of her eyes, and she weaves like she might dodge, but ends up kissing him anyway

"Mmm...." Adam enjoys "You are inspiring, yourself."

"I bet you say that to all the Eshu" She says "Now, how are lessons going?"

"Ok, I guess. Sir Bachdion is going to add musing to the list."

"Important" she nods "Glamour is the fuel for our fae souls."

"Yeah. I had a way to earn dross but...."

"Oh? What was that?" She asked

"Like, a Fae ride share. Left it in New Jersey. "

"Wait.. that Knight's Heart ride service?"

"Yeah."

"Oh my gosh, you were a driver? Neat"

He reaches to stroke her arms, seeking contact. "Is that a big deal?"

"Whoever set it up is brilliant is all, that thing's been booming like crazy. " SHe says "I mean, it gets me around town here sometime"

"She has it here too? Sally Mae set it up in Jersey." A wistful sigh.

"Yeah, you know the lady doing it? Wow. " She really does look impressed, "Yeah, she's set up in like 6 differeent areas last I heard."

He grins. "Yeah? Good for her. She's smart like that."

"No kidding. I thought of getting a job there, but I prefer learning the animals right now."

"Yeah. I mean, right now, even if I wanted to work, like.... when?"

"You have been pretty busy. I understand you'll be getting Cantrip lessons from Sir Magnus tomorrow"

"Yeah, that's the plan."

"Don't worry, if anyone can teach you magic, it's Sir Magnus"

"Yeah, he's really good at magic. I'm not."

"Well, of course. He's been practicing it since before he was your age"

"Sounds like you know a lot about him." Adam grins, not at all jealous, and if she will agree he slides her onto his lap.

She allows "Oh he's married and ooooff limits" A blush

"Oooohhhhhh....." he gets it. "Well hey, Fiona. But his wife isn't. Not sure how that works."

"It works in that if someone tries to get her man, she or he better be ready to take on one of the best warriors here. They're oathed..so even if I could, I wouldn't " she says

"That's fair." Adam agrees.

"What about you? Oggling some of the ladies here? Besides me, I mean?" Arch brow

"What about it?" Still gently running his hands on her skin. Yay bathing suits! "It's ok, right?"

"Yes, you're your own man, I'm my own woman. Heck, I have a date tomorrow ...and not with you. Not rubbing it in your face just saying I understand." She says "I was just curious who YOU pined over, since I admited I could watch Sir Magnus read a grocery list and sigh happily"

"Oh!" That's ok. "Dame Claire, in a kind of might-kill-me-but-what-a-way-to-go kinda way. Dame Leonora, wow..... I don't think I have met a Sidhe lady here I wouldn't like to know better. Stevie, yeah.... been meaning to look her up. My suitemate, Betty? Not sure but she's interesting...."

"Careful, Betty might run a tank over you" Not entirely joking 'ANd Stevi's got a wonderful voice. Somehow for her the drawl works"

"Sexy as hell." He agrees "Betty.... Well, it's a challenge. And yeah, she could be dangerous." A grin "But I'm not sure she'd be ok with being non exclusive."

"Pretty sure she wouldn't be. Even some Fiona, as we've establilshed, are one only.. me? I plan to travel so I'm going to need a guy in every other city right?" Teasing

"Could be." He agrees easily.

"Oh I should go..." She rises out of the hot tub (looking GREAT but he misses her in her lap) "Morning shift with the critters for me"

"Awwww....." disappointed. He tries to draw her back down. "Stay. I'll help you tomorrow...."

She laughs, not fighting too hard "you have magic lessons"

"We could make magic right now, together!"

"Oh no.. no no" She does slide away, but slowly, and she smiles "Tempted. Flattered. But no. "

He stands as well, keeping her hand if she allows. "At least let me come and dry you....."

"I just got a hot tubing, now you want to force us to cold showers?"

"Well no, but you said no to -my- idea...." He grins.
