Really hope my sister didn't see that.

[He means the glowing bush.]

[shylyintrepid]

[He shrugs]

It wasn't there for very long. I was just waiting for you.

[honey_silk_tongue]

Feels a bit stalkerish, not going to lie.

[He passes by Jehan, turning to walk backwards so they can continue their discussion.]

[shylyintrepid]

It's a fae thing. I can't help it.

[He follows after him]

This is the first time in several decades that I've wanted to do half of this stuff.

[honey_silk_tongue]

Stalker~

[Said in an actual teasing tone.

He's doing a bit better since they last spoke. He's had time to think, to digest everything. A large part of him still doesn't trust Jehan as far as he can throw him, but there's a tiny part that reminds him that... Well. What harm can it actually do? He's already dying.

He pauses at the door, fishing his key out of his pocket.]

[shylyintrepid]

I'm only a stalker if I try to hurt you.

[He waits behind Zane as he fumbles for the key]

Will you invite me in? I can't go in if you don't.

[honey_silk_tongue]

Actually, I think stalking also counts if you leave flowers on my bed stand. Breaking and entering and all that.

[He looks and Jehan, curiously as he opens the door, stepping over the threshold before turning to look at him.]

Are you going to tell me why you're here and turning my house into a green house?

[shylyintrepid]

I just send a brownie or a pixie with those. I don't actually enter your house.

[He shrugs]

I told you. You caught my attention, Zane. You...you're the first person in decades I've actually been interested in and I want to help you and get to know you and maybe even love, if it goes that way. You're a lovely person.

[honey_silk_tongue]

So not helping your case.

[But it does get a chuckle.

The chuckle dies when he answers the question. Zane frowns, looking at him with both eyebrows raised.]

I'm nothing special.

[shylyintrepid]

You are to me. Something about you calls to me, Zane.

[honey_silk_tongue]

You use that line on all the guys?

[shylyintrepid]

Not since 1856.

[honey_silk_tongue]

Soooo does this make you a cougar on top of a stalker?

[Teasing! He's teasing!]

[shylyintrepid]

Well, when you put it that way...

[He laughs]

Am I allowed in?

[honey_silk_tongue]

I don't know. My sister always told me never to let cougars into the house.

But! Rika's not home. [He takes a step back.]

I have one condition.

[shylyintrepid]

Yes?

[honey_silk_tongue]

No magic.

[shylyintrepid]

I swear I won't use anything to seduce, ensare, or otherwise charm you. No promises on magically growing flowers, though. They're harmless anyway.

[honey_silk_tongue]

[Zane shakes his head.]

No. Rule #1 of my house. No magic period.

[shylyintrepid]

May I keep my glamor up?

[honey_silk_tongue]

Is it magic?

[Small grin.]

[shylyintrepid]

Well, yes, but it keeps me looking like this and not the paper-and-fire look I had a week ago.

[honey_silk_tongue]

No magic~

[This is really turning into a test to see if Jehan would actually listen to him. He can't help it. He's curious.]

[shylyintrepid]

[He sighs]

I need to borrow clothing, then.

[honey_silk_tongue]

Wait, really?

[He drops the teasing expression, looking at Jehan with wide eyes.]
