"Oh, Teazer's ears drooped a little, "well if y'ever work it out, mebbe' y'could let me know." she walked on in silence, not looking at him.

Sonya glanced over at her and away. He was the elder in this situation, and the man... and yet he could not bring himself to take anything more than a darting and fearful glance over that edge. Yes, he liked her, and yes, he enjoyed spending time around her, but what if he was too old? Considering his job if nothing else, what could he offer someone so much younger than him? How the hell was he supposed to be the one to step beyond that edge? So he remained silent for the moment as well.

His silence wasn't encouraging, Teazer sighed, well she supposed things could hardly get worse, "It's a strange sort of thing we've got goin' on here. I wouldn't say we know each other well enoug t'be properly friends, but I also know y'don't treat the other gals at work like this either, no matter how often you're in the cafe." she wasn't entirely sure where she was going with this, but she figured she had little to loose.

"Well, I... no, I do not generally treat the other gals like you. I... I like you, a fair deal, and I am sorry you might not be willing to call us friends in that case," he said, voice soft but one ear flickering slightly.

"I didn't mean that I don't want to be," Teazer added hurriedly, "I mean, I'll settle for friends if that's what y'want. But, well," she was pink again, still fiddling with her coat button, "I was kinda' hopin'... " she shook her head, "S'prob'ly stupid of me..."

He finally looked down at her. "Settle?" he asked, sounding for the first time slightly hopeful. That word, more than any other, implied she might desire something more. "I... what were you hoping? I do not think I will find it stupid..." He hoped not anyway.

Teazer's ears pricked up at that, a signal of her own hope, though she hardly dared believe he might, "I'm probably supposin' too much. Someone like you, seems silly t'think you might possibly want... I mean," she looked at her feet, "well you could have any gal.... don't know why you'd want t'settle f'someone like me. Not that I'd mind if y'did, I.. not a bit, but well, I ain't expectin' nothin."

He almost laughed, and managed not to. "I, no, I... Settle? I would not be settling. I, I like you remember? And, what else would I be doing asking you to the cinema with me? Why else would I bother asking about the other day?"

She looked up at him, hardly daring to believe what he'd just said, let alone how relaxed he'd sounded saying it after all their dancing around each other, "Well y'never said nothin' an' we never went t'the cinema. An' jus' now, y'told me y'didn't know why you asked..."

"That... since New Years I did not have a chance to say anything on that matter, and after seeing you with somecat else I was unsure about the entire idea. As for asking you I... was not so much unsure as perhaps a little unwilling to admit that I might have been jealous?" He shifted his shoulders a bit uncomfortably again, but continued walking. Once he actually started talking, it was easy. It was just getting to the talking point usually.

"That day," Teazer sighed, "well it couldn't've bin' more awkward." the tom I was with, he was an aquaintance really not even a friend. I agreed t'go t'lunch with him because he asked an' I didn't know how t'say no, but it was never anythin' like a date t'me. I don't know what he thought it was," she admitted, "I'm sorry he made things so awkward though, it wasn't my idea t'put you in that position, if it looked like I was tryin' t'make y'jealous or somethin', I'm sorry. I don't play those kinda' games." she shook her head, "I still don't know what kind of game he was playin' though. Like I said, he turned out t'be a complete creep. I was stupid t'be so naieve about it. But nothin' happened there, an' I never thought of him that way. I jus' wanna be clear about that to'y."

"I..." he paused, attempting to absorb all of that. "I never thought you would be the type to try and make men jealous, it is just something that sort of happened. And, you are very clear, thank you," he murmured.

Teazer nodded slowly, "Good, it was just, well, I care about what y'think of me, and if... if we're goin' somewhere with all of this, if you an' I... well I didn't want t'start out with you thinkin' badly of me for what happened."

"I would not have," he said gently. "But perhaps it is good to know."

Teazer gave a little nod at that, tearing her eyes from the ground at long last, but looking at the skye rather than looking at him. If she faced him just yet, she wasn't sure how easy it would be to look away. "So, uh... where d'we go from here?"
