It's okay, I've got you, @citrinewings.bsky.social
He grins. "So I've heard." Eyeing her with a raised brow. "Couple drinks? On me, of course."
What. A. Day,
Get comfy and I'll take good care of you, Sweetheart.
"Mm, yes please!"

"Listen, I've fought mutants that were muscular and shirtless. It's something you'll have to be prepared for." He can hardly finish the statement without laughing. "Why don't we head someplace with a bit more space? Sound good?"
"Leon.." She grins. That blush gives away her true thoughts. "I have to focus.. you're trying to gain the upper hand by distracting me."
"Yeah, you look cute." He even notes her hair's up again, a look on her he's become pretty fond of. It's gunna be pretty difficult to focus on the training. He's wearing his own little outfit. Some tight fitting sweatpants and only that. "Approve of my ensemble too?" He chuckles.
"Got it. I won't be long!" She scuttles off to change, opting for dark leggings and a tanktop. When she returns she poses. "Seem good enough?"
"Yeah? There's an idea." He grins and eyes her up and down. "Why don't you go dress in some work out clothes, then? Something easy to move around in."
"How about you teach me those self defense lessons?" She raises a brow. "That way if I take your knife again, I know how to use it." She smirks playfully.
"Just so happens my schedule's clear." He winks, draping arms around her waist. "Whatcha got in mind, baby?"
That earns a blush. "Whatcha up to today? Can I steal you awhile?"
He actually smirks at the side eye, sliding his drink over to him. "Yeah, thought so."
He may do it when he least expects it, but the rookie shouldn't be afraid. First he wants that drink. Maybe two. His only response is to look at him sideways, raising an eyebrow.
He's already on his third cup of coffee this morning...

He eyes her with her hair up, grinning at the sight. It was different on her but extremely cute. She might have noticed him staring a bit. "Yeah, I know your rolls. Don't worry." They usually got the same ones anyways, easy to remember. "Get something on TV or some music playing and I'll make -
"Sushi sounds amazing. Do you have my order saved? If not I can do it." She sweeps damp hair up into a short ponytail. It was a nice feeling being able to just relax around him fully, to be as comfortable as she wanted.
"I'll be there bright and early, count on it." He offered her shoulder another little squeeze and stood up from the couch. "This'll be nice. I'm glad I stopped by today. Didn't expect you to actually agree to come on a trip with me but I'm happy you did."
"That sounds good to me. You decide what you wanna order yet? I've been waiting." He teases, tossing on a pair of loose fitting PJ pants and nothing else, taking a seat on the couch. "I'm not feeling too picky myself. Chinese? Sushi? Pizza?"
"For now, we can focus on that lazy night."
He welcomed the warmth of her body pressing against his and wraps his arms snugly around her to feel her softness in full. "Of course, Ashley. I didn't have a choice in how my life went. I'd never stop anyone else from choosing their own path. It's your life, you gotta live it how you want to." -
She was grateful Leon was at least willing to hear her out, to help prepare her if it was what she really wanted and it makes her feel even closer to him. She leans into his frame with a tiny sigh. "Thanks Leon.. for not brushing me off."
Her intentions are pure and mean the world to him. The girl's heart is in the right place and hell, even a small part of him thinks that it would be incredible to have her by his side all the time, to be his partner in work and love. But a larger part of him can't help but worry about her, worry -
"But, if I could be a target anyway, for who I am or used against you why not just be safer at your side? We could protect each other that way." She's being naive and even she knows it but there's still heart to her words.
He keeps his arms wrapped around her waist gently, positioning so they could still feel the water but were able to speak uninterrupted. "That means a lot to me, Ash. But I don't want you doing something like this just because you're worried about me. If you commit to it, it's gotta be something -
"I don't want to be worried constantly about you. I'd rather join the fight so I could stay with you.. I think I'd lose my mind with worry if I didn't." She sighs softly, holding his gaze. "I know this isn't meant to be a rushed decision.. I know."

He's just grateful he's not attacking him. This was progress. "This is gunna be really fucking awkward, isn't it?" He laughs, an attempt to address the tension.
Silence from him. He sits down next to Leon, creaking the seat under his weight, and leans on the bar.
It was true she could hold her own. And if you had told him that someday that dorky little cop would become the USA's secret weapon against bio-terror, he'd have thought you were smoking something. But still... "This... isn't about your ability, Ash. This life it's just..." He paused, hands -
"But boring isn't me anymore. Kidnapping survivor, cool agent boyfriend.. I have to up my game a little!" There's a slight playful pout. "I meant what I said back in Spain, what about me becoming an agent, like you?"
He rolls his eyes and leads him to the bar, holding up two fingers to the bartender for a couple drinks.
He's so foul-mouthed. (As if he weren't).
"Yeah, same here. Why don't we aim to leave Friday, then? I'll arrange for the travel and everything, you just get together whatever you need to get together." He flashed a warm smile. He truthfully didn't expect her to accept his invitation but now he's happy she did. It would be a nice -
