Into the Unknown with darkseidofmoon

[have_no_mercy]

It's not unusual for Tess to remain working in the study into the wee hours of the morning. What isn't usual is for her to be waiting for company, even if the hours aren't quite so wee as yet. It's still late and worse, she has little idea what she may be getting herself into.

Which also isn't usual, but sometimes these kinds of risks have to be taken and she's the only one, in her opinion, who can put themselves on the line right now.

That doesn't mean Tess isn't going to be pacing until her guest arrives.

"I don't mind," he says softly and slowly, another smile appearing on his face. "I'm quite interested in the things you have to say, actually. Though I'm open to anything you think may be more enjoyable."

"I see the flattery has started after all." Tess grins and steps around him, letting her arm brush against his as she moves past and continues to wander toward the couches.

"Actually, I'm interested in what sorts of things you find enjoyable, besides listening to what I have to say." She stops and turns to face him again. "Perhaps I can accommodate some of them."

He turns away briefly to take a small sip from his abandoned drink before setting it down on the table once more.

"And what about your own enjoyment?" he asks softly, facing her again and slowly wandering a bit closer to where she's stopped. "It was agreed, after all, that we would both be having fun tonight."

His answer was exactly what she'd been expecting: deflection. Tess can't help but laugh a little, softly.

"I think as hostess it's only fair that I ensure my guest is having a good time before I think about myself."

Darkseid steps closer, the corners of his mouth still curled into that small smile. "Mmm, but perhaps we can find enjoyment in the same things. What do you think?"

Tess pretends to think that over and then nods. "I think that sounds like a very suitable compromise. I still defer to my guest for his choice of... activity."
