You are just so smooth and complimentary, you're going to keep me blushing all night. But let's get going.
[And she'll start to read from the Morte D'Arthur, choosing the tale of a knight who disguised himself as a stableboy to win back his honor and, ultimately, the hand of a fair and virtuous lady.]
I am. Don't...don't underrate yourself, ok? You...[She shook her head.] You're a wonderful person, and...gosh you've treated me well. I absolutely do care - I did before today and you've made me feel like I'm the only person on Earth tonight.
And I know just how this is supposed to end to. Ahem.
Oh valiant, and noble knight - who has done such wonders to cheer my weary soul - what boon can I grant thee to suit thy nobility, be it within my power?

I did not know language could be used in such a way. It's so beautiful.
no subject
And it's just one of them. I've heard poetry in languages I don't speak, but the rhythms and sound are...something.
[She hefted one of the books.]
So, ready for a classic Earth tale?
no subject
Yes. I would like that very much. Your voice is very soothing

[But she absolutely hangs on every world from Morte D'Arthur.]
no subject
I still love this stuff.
[She turned her head to look at Lauri.]
How you feelin'?
no subject
I think I shall dream of that nobility tonight.

[She rolls over and leans her chin on her arms, themselves on Lauri’s leg.]
So what now?
no subject
I think it is time for you to rest.
no subject
Fiiiine, I guess. [She sat up, stretching with catlike grace, but then smiled at Lauri.]
Guess I don’t want tonight to end. It’s…actually been better than any date I’ve ever had.

You're right. As usual. So, are you staying or zipping off to fight for the Empire?
no subject
no subject
Yep, upstairs. Few doors down from me actually. C'mon, let me show you.
[And she'll lead her up the stairs, stooping to pick up her heels on the way, looking back at Lauri.]
Not sure how you're used to sleeping, but it'll be soft as all get out tonight.
no subject
I sleep as is given to me. Kree do not often use soft beds I believe.
no subject
This is me. Let's show you yours.
[She counts down two more doors and...there. She opens the door, revealing a well-appointed room, with a queen size bed.]
Hopefully this will be ok.
no subject
Is is more than good, Jan. I thank you for your hospitality and kindness. You are an honor to human kind.
no subject
Thank you for the best date I think I've ever had. It meant a lot.
no subject
I am sure it would have been better were you with someone for whcih you cared.

[She took Lauri's hands in hers.]
I am. Don't...don't underrate yourself, ok? You...[She shook her head.] You're a wonderful person, and...gosh you've treated me well. I absolutely do care - I did before today and you've made me feel like I'm the only person on Earth tonight.
no subject
For tonight, you were. Well, except for me.
no subject
And I know just how this is supposed to end to. Ahem.

no subject
Fiiiiine. But you think about an actual one, anyways. Now goodnight, you, and sleep well...and thanks again.
