Eliot set his guitar down beside his chair and got to his feet to answer the door. It wasn't a bother, but it was kind of odd. For as long as he'd been at the hotel, nobody had ever come looking for him. Not in his room, anyway. Occasionally Dean tracked him down in the kitchen, but that guy had a nose for food like a bloodhound.

When he opened the door he smiled to see who was on the other side. "Adora! How are you?"

At the sound of the door opening, Adora threw up her right arm and waved her cast-free hand at him.

"It's off!" She actually squeaked just before she laughed and bounced on her heels. She reached toward him and grabbed his sleeves, then bounced again. When she realized she'd grabbed him, she immediately let go and leaned back.

"Sorry."

Eliot blinked at the sudden hand in his face, but he had to grin. It was good to see her excited. "No need to apologize. I'm happy for you."

Now, what was the etiquette here? Should he invite her in or down to the bar or something else? Eh, who cared about etiquette? "Did you want to come in?"

Adora's eyes widened slightly and she leaned to look into his room. "Oh, um.." Well, they were adults, right? And he'd been in her room. "I didn't mean to disturb you. I just wanted to-" she said, raising her hand again. "Oh!" she jumped slightly, then pointed at him. "Do you have a com-tooter?"

That didn't sound right.

"Um, Jack showed us a little... thing," she finally said, using her hands to make the general shape of the laptop that had been on his desk. It didn't even occur to her that he might not know who 'us' was.

"Oh, I'm glad to hear that," she nodded. Adora stared at him for a moment, then blinked and looked away. She picked the pencil up again and glanced at him again. Her fingers started twirling the pencil, but as the muscles in her hand were still rather stiff, she winced and put the pencil back down.

Another moment of silence and Adora couldn't think of anything to say. So, she looked back to the message and started searching for the buttons to send the message to Aeryn.

[she really wants to kiss him <3]

Things seemed awkward. Eliot was usually smoother than this, but maybe he was out of practice. Of course, this wasn't ideal conditions for romance, either.

He watched her work on the message a while, then spoke up. "You ever ride a horse? The hotel has stables here."

[She could! He never refuses a kiss from a beautiful woman!]

Adora smiled slightly, thankful for a break in the odd silence she'd created, and turned her head toward him. "No," she replied, shaking her head slightly. "Not by choice, anyway." She had been hauled onto a horse against her will, a few times, though.

"You? Ride horses, I mean?"

[Good to know! :D]

Not by choice? Odd answer. He shrugged a little and nodded. "I do. My first job was assisting a trainer at a racehorse stable. I haven't done much riding recently, but I used to be pretty good at it."

Of course, if she'd been forced onto a horse before, she probably wasn't interested in riding now. Hmmm. He needed a new idea.

"Well, maybe just long enough for dinner. To repay the kindness you've shown me." She glanced at the screen and smiled. "Multiple times." Leaning toward him slightly, once again, Adora whispered: "But I might need some help with all that stuff in your kitchen." Or she could build a fire, outside, maybe. Cook a steak the way fire intended.

"Until then, I'm afraid I've kept you far too long." Granted, what she might be keeping him from, Adora didn't know. But she hadn't spent so much time alone with anyone, aside from Aeryn, in a long time. And, with Aeryn, the brunette was constantly talking to herself and repeating words they'd learned. Or she was going off on walks.

Adora picked the pencil up again and quickly wrote herself a note, underneath the message to Aeryn she still hadn't finished. Book. Name. Letter. Green. Keeping the steps Eliot - and Jack - had shown the, seemed the best way to remember. She tore the page from the pad and set the pencil down on the fresh page ( ... )
