A failed art, or somesuch thing. [RP-thread.]

Ashu had, after a goodly while and a few glasses of wine, finally worked up the nerve. So here she was with her jacket on over top of a two piece set of lingerie, outside Zane's apartment. A deep breath and then she knocks on the door.

It took Zane a couple minutes to answer, as he was in the middle of some rather tetchy work with Cam, their healer. Another mission had gone not-so-great. And while he wasn't nearly as fucked up as the last time he'd gotten messed up on a mission, he still wasn't 100%.

He blinked when he opened the door. "Ash?" he asked after a moment or two, surprised to see her there.

Oh god this is a bad idea, the thought immediately popped into Ashu's head when Zane answered.

"H-hi, Zane... If it's a bad time I can go."

[not_in_zane]

"No, no... I'm... I'll be okay. What's up?" Zane asked, blinking at the stray thought he picked up from her. "You okay?"

[turnabout_girl]

"You sure?" Ashu asked right back. "I, uh... Wanted to try something, but if you're really not okay. And I'm fine, peachy, kinda cold though." Nervous laugh.

"I don't end up that bad. It's just some missions are worse than others. This is pretty tame though. And I'll be okay. 'Sides, this is what I'm good at, and I like what I do, so it all works out," he said, shrugging a little.

[turnabout_girl]

"Okay," Ashu muttered, and if Zane would let her she'd hug him.

"I'm sorry about getting all bratty earlier."

[not_in_zane]

Zane wasn't going to push her away or anything.

"You're worried about him. These things happen," he said, shrugging.

[turnabout_girl]

"It's probably something I should tell him myself," she said, moving back a little now. "And can I ask you something?"
