[And without even noticing, Orion's arm pulls hers in slightly closer to himself, giving a soft chuckle. It wasn't often that the cop gave out more than an amused hum.]

Your hands are cold, Senator.

[Don't mind if he...softly holds the one on his arm with his oppposite hand.]

[tomemyoutliers]

Are they? ( she doesn't move her hand, instead staring at him fondly for a moment before her gaze drops to where his hand covers her's and she smiles. ) I hadn't noticed.

( She's been distracted okay. )

[There's a small leap in his heart when she doesn't remove that hand, only allowing him to gently secure his hold.]

Until we arrive, I'll make sure your hands don't turn as frigid as Proteus's.

[tomemyoutliers]

My hero.

( said without any trace of irony at all. she fucking MEANS IT, OP. )

[It doesn't take them long to get to the cafe, and Orion can't help but raise a brow at it. It's a little...well, it certainly is a place that Shockwave would have picked.]

You know, I'm not as surprised as I should be.

[But it's said humorously, at the very least.]

[tomemyoutliers]

You'll fall in love with it as soon as you take a sip of their coffee, I promise you.

( shockwave's taste in cafes is amazing what are you talking about op )

[luckyfaceplate]

Perhaps not the only thing.

[It comes out as a muddled mutter, making sure it wasn't understood.]

I mean...I suppose we'll just have to see how right you are. You always seem so confident about these things.

[You're lucky he's exempt from most caste shit cause he usually couldn't be caught dead here.]

[tomemyoutliers]

It's a gift. A talent, even, although I wish everyone would see it my way sometimes.

( BECAUSE SHE IS NEVER WRONG. ALRIGHT? ALRIGHT. )

[luckyfaceplate]

Well, we should be lucky that you're a woman of many talents then.

[Don't mind if he holds the door open for you.]

Did you tell Dai Atlas this?

[tomemyoutliers]

Dai Atlas is far too concerned that I don't end up like my father to listen to me.

( SO CHARMING. have another smile and a nod of thanks. )
