His nervousness, while part of the script, was hardly feigned, nor was the smile he gave to Lucy in return. At least those were genuine, rather than forced. While normally he might have resisted the impulse to glance at Lucy's ample cleavage and instead played the gentleman, for once he let his eyes dip for a moment, that same thought running through his mind as might in the audience's, fantasizing about what she might be wearing beneath the robe-- or what she might not be wearing beneath the robe. He waited a beat, knowing the cameras were doing the same, before his eyes moved back up to meet hers and he answered her.
"Hello, Lucy-- I'm not interrupting anything, am I?"

"Oh, no. I just finished my homework and I was going over the script for tomorrow. What's up?"

"I'd like to ask a favor, actually." Enunciate, he reminded himself. Mumbling or rambling in a real conversation was one thing, but every word needed to be clear so they could be recorded. "There's something I need help with, and you're the one I feel most comfortable asking." He glance around the dorm hallway pointedly, and one of the male actors walking by, having heard what was going on, shot him a wink. He wondered if that had been the director's idea. "If it isn't too much of an imposition, could we speak inside? This is something I'd prefer to ask in private."

"A favor? Of course, you know you can ask me anything." Just like she'd said last night, though with a bit more cluelessness for emphasis. "I'm happy to help." Making a show of catching the way he glanced down the hallway, Lucy blinked in surprise at his request, before shrugging it away goodnaturedly. "Come on Ishida, you know that isn't a problem. You're always welcome, come on in," she assured him, stepping aside to let him enter the relatively spacious dorm.

"I'm still a little nervous about tomorrow. The scenes, I mean. I'm still not used to this, so I guess... I guess I'm a little worried about whether I can measure up," he admitted. It was hardly the easiest thing in the world to say, even when it had just been Lucy he had been talking to. It was even harder with the camera crew, and knowing this would be filmed and watched. Still, he hadn't had the heart to tell Lucy that when she had made the suggestion-- and the truth was, it was a good idea for the studio. He just had to put aside his personal feelings. It was what was best for everyone. "I suppose what I'm saying is... I think practice or training or something like that might help, but... It's obviously not something I could do alone. If you don't feel comfortable, or if you had other plans for today, though, I understand."

"Ishida," she finally said, cutting him off, her voice the same amused rebuke she used on him yesterday. "First, stop selling yourself short. You've been doing great in your last few roles, otherwise there's no way they'd ask you to keep doing them, especially not when you already do so much work behind the camera. Second," she stepped forward and put her hand gently on his chest, smiling up with a simple friendliness. "If I'm uncomfortable rehearsing with you in private, how would I be able to go and do everything on camera tomorrow. Of course I'll help you dummy."
The name was an endearment, and she leaned up to kiss his cheek.

Even if he was nervous, objectively, Ishida understood why Lucy had suggested it-- and why it was a good idea, not just for the company, but for him. After all, this way, not only did the practice help him with endurance and technique, but, at the very least, he'd probably be a bit more comfortable and a little less nervous tomorrow, after having gotten his jitters out now. But that was still no excuse not to do his best now, he reminded himself. They were still being filmed, after all.
It helped ease his nerves, too, hearing Lucy's words (again), and feeling her hand against his chest, and he focused on that, letting that anchor him in the moment, rather than letting his mind race ahead of him as he tended to do. He'd do his best today, so tomorrow, she wouldn't have to repeat those words a third time and get tired of saying them, he promised himself.
He felt warmth blossom from his cheek where her lips brushed against it, but rather than the fight down the blush as he might have normally, he just accepted it-- if he did his role well, they'd both be plenty flushed by the end of this anyway.
"... Thank you, Lucy. I really do appreciate it."

"Make yourself comfortable," she said, glancing over her shoulder and gesturing to the couch. "Do you want me to get the script?"

When she returned, it was with two scripts in hand, and a man's buttoned up shirt that strained slightly against her generous chest, and didn't fall quite far enough to hide the racy little thong she'd slipped on. Falling onto the couch next to Ishida with a little bounce, she held out one of the scripts to him with a smile.
"So, where should we start?"
Reply
"Thank you," he murmured as he accepted the script, smiling gratefully, taking a moment to flip through it as he turned over her question in his mind. What would be best to practice...?
"Our scenes, probably, or one of them, at least. Unless you think it would be better for us to practice someone else's?"
