Her gaze danced over to Nanna, who she knew would be more than appreciative for the opportunity to meet Aldous. They then slipped down and then back up to him. The inner diatribe having ceased and filled with an appreciation as she stood and slipped around the table. Her finger tips brushed the grain of the wood, trailed up his arm arm with a feather's touch and gave his shoulder a squeeze. She bent over him, the heat of her words on his ear, "I'd like that."
She straightened up and moved from behind him to beside him leaning against the table as her hand reversed it's journey and fingers passed over his own digits, ever careful to stroke the longest finger between finger and thumb in what would seem like idle amusement. "Though perhaps another day, granted soon, but it's quite late for dinner Mr. Eligible, I dare say even too late to safely trek past our door." The slums had many things that went bump in the night.
"Perhaps, you would like to stay here for the night?" Her voice was like silk and her smile divine. She let the question linger in his mind before adding, "We have a few spare beds in the back." Did he really think she'd make it that easy for him? Her smile broadened and her hand left his to push her hair back, the slender nape of her neck revealed beneath thick dark brown ringlets, though the tease left her voice and her eyes headed off across the room to nothing in particular. "Besides, I may need you to prove your snitch finding capabilities for me tomorrow, dodgy buggers." She laughed and let her hair drop looking back to him. "We lost two during a traveling act we hosted six months back, they occasionally flicker into view, but haven't caught them yet. The bludgers were a bloody nightmare, nearly took out the front row." Her head tilted. "So, what do you say?" Her gaze dared him once more, didn't he want to play more than just a card game?
