Jan 09, 2010 23:39

Liir didn't much like his phone and he rarely checked his messages even when the light was flashing for it, so much of the day's madness had passed him by ( Read more... )

Despite not getting a return call, Joan headed down the hall in her pajamas and knocked once on the door before peeking her head inside.

"Hey, you. You busy?"

Liir looked up almost like a squirrel examining a nut (or a newsbrief, considering where they were) and shook his head.

"Well, I'm doing something, but it's nothing that can't be set aside."

joan_notjane January 10 2010, 05:08:06 UTC

"Did you, uh, get my message?" Joan asked.

new_to_liirness January 10 2010, 05:15:01 UTC

He did a quick look at his phone, shook his head, and pursed his lips curiously.

"Is something the matter?"

joan_notjane January 10 2010, 05:16:22 UTC

"No, not at all," she assured him, finally stepping inside and closing the door behind her. "I just wanted to know if you minded me crashing tonight."

And other things. Which she'll get to. Eventually.

He shook his head.

"No, of course not. I've an extra bed," which he gestured to with an elbow since double pointed needles weren't always forgiving when it came to fiddly bits and socks "and of course you're welcome to my bed. I mean. Well. You know what I mean, I should think."

joan_notjane January 10 2010, 05:24:56 UTC

Or now.

She shifted her weight from one foot to the other. "About that. Uh... okay, maybe we should have talked about this already, but, um... are we, you know... boyfriend and girlfriend?"

new_to_liirness January 10 2010, 05:26:07 UTC

One dark eyebrow raised ever so slightly.

"I don't know," he asked gently, "are we?"

joan_notjane January 10 2010, 05:27:15 UTC

She shrugged. "I don't know. It seems like it but we've never really talked about it so..."

new_to_liirness January 10 2010, 05:35:29 UTC

He got to the end of his line, settled the needles, and placed it on his dresser. Done for the moment.

"Well, I almost think we should discuss... there are a lot of things I think we might want to discuss. I'm not sure if that's how it's done, but it might be useful."

He glanced over at her.

"Though I feel I should let you know right from the start that I don't object to the idea in the least."

joan_notjane January 10 2010, 05:36:51 UTC

"Well, that's good to hear," Joan admitted with a tiny smile. "And, yeah, I guess there are a lot of things we should talk about. I don't have much experience to draw on."

new_to_liirness January 10 2010, 05:49:28 UTC

"I see," he said as he walked over to the door to make sure it was quite closed.

"Would you like some tea? Cookies? Anything?"

joan_notjane January 10 2010, 05:50:37 UTC

"Tea would be good," she said. And maybe going over to sit down.

new_to_liirness January 10 2010, 05:58:40 UTC

He gestured to his bed and went over to start putting out tea for her, which was a simple affair. He put the mug down near to her for her to drink from.

joan_notjane January 10 2010, 05:59:29 UTC

"Thanks," she said. "I feel bad about showing up and just blurting all of that out."

new_to_liirness January 10 2010, 06:02:31 UTC

"Why?" he asked, sitting sideways in his desk chair.
