I don't know. You floored me the moment I saw you.

[no_fun_allowed]

I consider myself lucky that you noticed me at all.

Seriously, how's someone like you still single?

[shelbycobra]

I work a lot, which makes it hard. And I'm very cautious who I date.

[Teasing.]

What's your excuse?

[no_fun_allowed]

All those are very valid excuses.

Mine are more or less the same. I haven't had a free day since...I don't know, 1993, or so. Makes dating people tricky. Besides there's the whole mutant thing that I told you about.

[shelbycobra]

Well. It doesn't bother me, if you can put up with my travel schedule and being in the public eye.

[She knew that could be a big ask for many people, especially if he wanted to keep a low profile.]

[no_fun_allowed]

[ The question is rather unexpected and he's silent for a few seconds. No, the travel schedule wouldn't bother him at all. Being on camera is something he doesn't like but he's done it before so it wouldn't be a big deal.

He really does like her and Scott wouldn't mind to get to know Shelby even better given the change. The only worry he has is that she might be making this decision because she's got a big scare today. However, he allows himself to smile before finally replying. ]

Why, Miss Manning, are you really asking me out?

[shelbycobra]

[She was not, explicitly, just pointing out that she was not turned off by what he was and was open to the possibility.

But, since he's asking...]

I was just saying, you being a mutant doesn't change how I feel about you. But if you wanted to go out on a date sometime...yeah, I'd like that.

[no_fun_allowed]

Thank you, Shelby. [ Scott is not used to people being so easily accepting so he has a hard time expressing how much it matters to him. Hopefully his face would be telling enough. ]

I'd like that too. You said you had about a week off starting tomorrow...?

[shelbycobra]

I do. If you don't mind me being a little sore.

[Chuckles. It's been a hard few weeks of racing and it has taken its toll.]

So we might take it a little slow. I won't immediately be suggesting you take me to bed.

[She can make fun of herself.]

[no_fun_allowed]

I've heard that massages are great for that sort of things. And I'm not too bad with my hands.

[ Oh she doesn't need to justify herself, he's familiar with how much the body suffers after races and battles. ]

There's plenty of things we can do with our clothes on, don't worry about it.

[ He never expect, nor he needs, sex every time they see each other. It's great when they do but there's other things he'd like to explore about their blooming relationship.

That's one of the things he likes about her. ]

[shelbycobra]

Great. Why don't you think of something and I'll come pick you up.

[no_fun_allowed]

That I can do. [ Scott runs a hand over his jawline and neck. Only in the morning, when my brain cells still work. ]

But I promise to come up with something good.

[shelbycobra]

Should I let you go? Although you look really comfortable.

[no_fun_allowed]

No, it's all right. I can function without much sleep and I rather make sure you're feeling better.

[shelbycobra]

I'll survive. Better now knowing I get to see you. And hey you've seen me naked so I don't have to worry.

[no_fun_allowed]

Every small thing helps, I suppose. And that was a really nice view, trust me.

[shelbycobra]

It does take some of the nervousness out of seeing you again. [Chuckles.] Knowing I don't have to worry about my appearance so much.

[no_fun_allowed]

You really don't.

And that went both ways, though. You've seen me naked too, I had plenty of reasons to be self conscious.

[shelbycobra]

I'm always trying to look perfect. It's a reflex from being in the public eye. Not so much when I'm with my crew, or at home, but any time someone else is around? It's a flaw.

[ooc: I have time now to start a new thread if you'd rather wrap this up and get them to dinner or something? Let me know!]

[no_fun_allowed]

Sounds more like a necessity than a personal flaw. The public eye is quick to judge, it's a shame you have to deal with it so often.


[ Hi, sorry for the delay. Due to some unexpected rl stuff + work i'm quite busy these days, so I am so more focussed on my stronger muses. I don't really know how long this will go on IRL, so if you don't mind, we can leave the dinner for the future? ]

[shelbycobra]

Part of the job. I'm a public figure, and I'm okay with that. I'm glad it doesn't scare you off though.

I'll call you when I come through New York, Scott. It's been nice getting to know you.

[Sorry to hear that, I was enjoying playing these two together. But of course it's whatever is best for you. I guess just look me up if you decide to come back. Apologies for bothering you.]

[no_fun_allowed]

Don't worry about that, I understand it's an important part of your life. You do what you must.

I'll come over to see you racing if I have the opportunity too. Likewise, Shelby. Take care.

[ Thanks! And yeah me too. It's just that there are less people at my workplace now that summer started cos half the staff is on vacations, plus I have family coming over and uhh...we need days that are 32 hours long, plz. You never bother me, really <3 Your OC is very nice. ]
