you want a closer look at all my tattoos?
or only the ones you can see with my clothes on?

[taintedpeony]

[Oh. Oh my. She was rather forward wasn't she, but he was forward himself.]

Whichever you are more comfortable with.

[killtime]

it doesn't make me uncomfortable just to be undressed
besides
all you asked to do was look

[ Why does it sound like she's teasing? ]

[taintedpeony]

Ah, you are certainly braver than I. I work as an exotic dancer and yet I still struggle at being fully unclothed, in front of others.

And...yes. Of course.

[He was most certainly not turning red over this. Nope.]

[killtime]

well
you shouldn't have to worry about that
unless there's some reason you plan on being undressed too

[taintedpeony]

I don't mean...of course.

[Oh, yes this was highly embarrassing, he could only cover his face. He took a breath and let it go slowly.]

You're teasing me...

[He couldn't say he did not enjoy being teased, it reminded him of how his wife did back when they were only courting. He was always impressed by people who could fluster him.]

[killtime]

i might be

[ She definitely is. ]

if you're not into that
you can just say so

[taintedpeony]

I don't mind being teased.

Did you have a preference on where you would like to meet? Or any type of food that you are fond of? I would love to take you out for dinner.

[killtime]

you don't have to wine and dine me just to see me with my clothes half off
i'm not really that kind of woman

[taintedpeony]

It isn't quite that. It feels rude to not offer.

My apologies I am absolutely out of my depth with this type of meeting. I am more used to serving food or hosting parties for people to make new acquaintances.

Please tell me what I can offer a woman like you in that case.

[killtime]

doesn't have to be transactional
you can just look if that's what you want
it's not like i charge a fucking fee for looking

[taintedpeony]

[He chewed his lower lip and thought about it. In truth most of his relationships had a transactional element to it. Or his views on himself and his own worth? It was certainly something to mull over later.

Her brusqueness reminded him of some others he knew. In a way he prefered people to say what they meant.]

My apologies, I did not meant to offend.
Did you have a place to meet in mind?

[killtime]

[ Andy rarely has much use for pretense or pleasantry. The woman is something of an acquired taste for the people that decide to keep her company. ]

i'll send you my address
it's an apartment in enma territory
if anyone gives you shit just tell them the lieutenant sent for you

[taintedpeony]

[Guangyao knew the type. The more she spoke the more she reminded him if Nie Mingjue. But he could get used to that type of bluntness rather easily.]

I can do that. Enma is not too far from me.

[He may still bring some homemade mooncakes, transactional or not his mother raised a gentleman who would never show up somewhere empty handed, the last thing he wanted was to be haunted by her ghost for bad manners.]

Do you have a particular time that works better for you?

[killtime]

[ If she’s honest, she isn’t entirely sure what to do with his formality and politeness. It’s hard to tell how sincere it is over text - but she’ll see for herself soon enough, she supposes. ]

come by the evening
should be back from kaigo no bou by then

text -> action

[taintedpeony]

Alright, I will see you there.

[The formality and politeness were a shield for him most of the time, held up in order to minimize himself from those who were stronger than him. A skill he learned from the brothels he grew up in and took with him throughout his life. A soft power, bent on trying to keep himself safe.

No one gave him any trouble at all, and he knocked on the door to the apartment with the box of neatly packed mooncakes in his hand. Jin Guangyao was not a tall man, all of 5'7, and at first, glance would seem a native, with large gold ears and nine fox tails behind him. He wore a kimono with gold and white peonies printed on it. He smiled warmly when the door did open.]

Good evening, Maiden Andromache It is a pleasure to meet you face to face. I made some mooncakes that we could perhaps share.
