Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake has been healed magically before. It's fast but, it tires him out. He isn't sure how it works with other people. Most people didn't have various supernatural females take sips of them. You build up a resistance if you don't die. He did get up to feed Rasputin. It is a very bad idea to go back to sleep around a hungry tiger.

His eyes snap open after he first listens intently. He gets up gingerly and then takes the bandages off his arms. Red healing flesh, no pain. He can do no pain. He goes into the kitchen area and rummages in the fridge. There is a plate several slices of French toast. Aww bless whoever! He heats them in the microwave and eagerly grabs a slice and proceeds to gobble it down.

Urk.

Shell bits. Uhm... way too much vanilla and cinnamon.

Urk. He gets up to toss the breakfast, reluctantly.

He should probably get more clothes on too.

Megan Gwynn has posed:
It's been a few hours since Megan brought the Catman back to his rather luxurious house, calling Nick over to give him some healing while she watched on in horror, and..Things happened...Leading to mixed feelings. She lingered by the door, eavesdropping on the words exchanged between them, before Nick had to hurry off somewhere.

She paced for a bit, pondering if she should stay or go..But she was worried, and certain things were left unfinished. So she kind her way around the kitchen, keeping a cautious eye out for a certain scary tiger and busied herself in the kitchen, making probably the only thing she's actually good at cooking - Spanish omelette!

She returns a couple hours later with omelette and tea on a tray, peeking in on Thomas, unsure if he wanted to be interrupted, if she should interrupt him, or if the food would help him heal better. rBut looks like he's already up and about. "Um..Thomas? Where the heck did you go?"

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake enters from a side passage he used to access the tiger pen. "Oh, hey. Sorry. I am not dressed to receive company. Oh, breakfast? For me? Aren't you considerate. He comes over relieve her of the tray and completely forgets to get dressed. He doesn't forget to give Pixie a thank you smooch. "Thanks again for your help." He head nuzzles her a little.

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn blinks as he just..Pops up out of some secret passage? The heck? "Wha? Thomas! You shouldn't be running around and.." and he's not wearing much which makes her blush again. And then that kiss..Which makes her weak in the knees. And she instinctively leans against him, smiling. "Mmm, you really should lay down you know? I made this breakfast for you and all. It's called breakfast in bed." she winks at him, trying to grab his hand with her free hand and tug him towards the bedroom/living room.

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake doesn't really budge on the tug, until he decides to go along. He sits on the bed and smoothes a section for her, patting it and then takes a bite. Okay, edible. She might have cooked it. You ate raw zebra. You can manage this.

So sweet. Is this looking in on a friend or... does she want to start something more? She was blushing a lot but then she did that lean on the guy move girls do...

Oh, I'm wearing very little. That explains the blushing. Then again she did lean on me.

Well based on his past history, he likes the odds. He looks over as he chews... and chews to see what she's doing.

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn smirks, setting the tray on the nearby table, although her smile slips as she stares at the spot next to him. "Umm..?" oh no, she's blushing some more..But, she shuffles onto the bed, sitting on top of the covers, hugging her arms, watching him thoughtfully. "So that whole..Earlier. Was that just..Adrenaline?" she is kinda hungry though and the eggs are actually really good with bits of onion and potato and cheese too. Hey she doesn't know many recipes and she can burn water, but she's a master omletteeer! Of course, her arm ends up brushing his chest as she leans over to grab some food.

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake swallows his bite and leans back as she leans over him. He gets a whiff of her hair as it brushes him. He smells soap and flowers, a hint of brine and... baby powder and then there's that underlying dust scent which defies analysis.

"Was it just adrenaline. Hmmm we're calm now want to see?"

"He doesn't wait for a reply, he just turns her around and kisses her. There's no raven to distract him this time. It's a long and proper kiss, by someone who knows how as Rhett Butler put it.

He goes back to eating and asks, "Well, it wasn't adrenaline for me. You draw your own conclusion." He noms some more. The omelette is good. He finally got that French toast disaster's taste out of his mouth.

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn's eyes widen a bit, swallowing her food quickly, caught off-guard yet again with that kiss that takes her breath away. "You..How do you do..That?" even though he goes back to eating, which is probably a good thing. She shouldn't interrupt, though she's all curious about this mysterious man who took *this* freaking long to actually stop treating her like a child and letting her make her own decisions about. Things.

She smirks then and sighs, leaning her head against this chest, tickling his bare skin with her bright pink hair. And inhales deeply. "You smell like pickles and sweat and blood." she laughs, nuzzling against his neck, "But it's okay because you didn't get yourself killed. This time. But next time, we're a team, and I WONT stay on the sidelines while you get yourself killed. Got it?"

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake finishes eating. He drapes an arm around Pixie letting her nestle against him better. One hand stokes her hair. "I was in relationships. A lot. The kissing... I come by it naturally."

"Sidelines? You were instrumental in nailing that thing and letting me finish it off. From behind, like I taught you. And you were evacuating innocent people from the thing. Some sidelines. I mean I'm only human. I can't do that stuff." He rests his chin on her head and sighs. The scars on his chest contrast to Pixie's fair skin.

"I'm amazed you were interested in me. I wasn't sure if you even dated."

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn blinks slowly at that, maybe grimacing a little. He had mentionned some ex named Satanna..Who sounded kinda familiar. She probably met the woman at some party or other. But keeps that to herself for now. "That many, huh?"she laughs nervously, "I guess..I haven't. I mean, most people think I'm just some cute kid, they don't take me seriously. Plus I'm a weirdo mutant from a small town so.."

Megan shrugs, not too upset, "I mean it's really okay, I guess I just never really met the right person, always seem to crush on the wrong people." she sighs, cuddling against him, trying to climb into his lap again.

"Silly..That's because you were trying too hard to keep me at a distance, trying to convince me I'm 'just a kid..' and nothing more. you didn't seem to realize I enjoyed our training sessions, how you were so protective, all your weird and quirky personality traits. Occasionally teasing and flirting and pretending that you hadn't. You sure are a strange person. How'd you wind up befriending straight laced Nick anyway?"

Oh but she has sooo many questions for him.

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake lets her climb into his lap. Lets her cuddle. lets her just settle and breathe against him.

"My ex heard a demon had some designs on Nick Drago. The ex and I are both fans. We contacted him to warn him and we struck up a friendship. Wait, I'm quirky? A lot of people ave less complimentary terms for me. Okay... just want to say... you're beautiful. When you fly, when we spar, when you run. Right now. Mike was just weird about me showing any interest in you and as I said, you're a beautiful young woman and I'm a scarred, ex-criminal and a dumpster fire of a human being."

He picks her chin up to look into her eyes. "Don't worry about being a badass. You do what you do out of love. That's rare and if anyone says you're a weirdo... I'll have a word with them if you like."

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn arches a brow, "Huh, Nick sure attracts strange and dangerous people. But being a famous popstar and actor who still attracts trouble, even with his secret identity doesn't help. I'm glad you have your eye out for him too, he's really a good guy.."

She smiles, tracing his lips with her fingers, "Hey, I mean quirky in the most complimentary way. I love your odd quirks. Like when you rack weird jokes, or pretend to act one way when it's obvious you mean another. Or how you're like a big, cuddly cat.." Megan giggles as she attempts to tickle him under the arms.

And then he goes and says that and she blinks again, pausing. "..I do? You really think so?"

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake gets tickled. Now he can take a knife or a lion swipe without betraying any feeling. Tickles? He never gets tickled? A short laugh bursts from him. Who the hell tickles a supervillain? Wait Terry something similar let's say. It was the best interrogation he ever had. He grabs her shoulders and throws her back on the bed, listening for the meep. He climbs on her and bends very close before he begins tickling her in return. "You're full of surprises!"

Megan Gwynn has posed:
"Meep!" she yells in surprise, curling back on the bad, "Ooh, you're terrible..I can't believe you could ever have been a villain, or like, this whole dumpster fire you keep calling yourself!" she giggles, kicking her feet, "Youre way cuter than you let on!"

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake rolls off before he smushes her. He watches her intently. Then he says, "I did bad things. First I wanted money. Then, I wanted to be the smartest guy in the room, and get rich. Then things got blurry and I wound up in Africa with my lions. Now I'm here with you. Maybe I need a good woman to make me reform? A woman, not a kid. Best part is you don't have to do anything. I'll just be inspired." He runs a finger along the collar of her t-shirt.

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn smiles, "So what.lIve stolen before.." her dark eyes flash, "I've killed before too. I mean, do demons count?" she clenches a hand to her heart, "Got a shard of darkness in my soul, courtesy of a certain evil soulless sorceress of Limbo." but her worst probably pales in comparison to his best. Maybe that's another thing that excites her about him, the whole 'bad boy 'thing he's got going on.

She smiles, leaning in to nuzzle her nose against his. "I'm sure we inspire each other. I'm sure we can help each other." she pouts, "I hope you'll still teach me to fight though, right? I mean, I wanna be stronger."

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake rubs noses back. "Oh honey... I'm sorry someone hurt you." He lays his hand on hers. "Everything seems to work all right. A lot of people have darkness on their souls they embrace and are proud of. Can I tell you something unrelated... At the park, when that thunder crashed and you squeaked... I wanted to just take you home and keep you till the thunder was over. But yeah, I'll teach you to fight. I'll train with you. But if you want to take a break from being tough and just... you know, do this? It's fine. I won't tell anyone."

Pixie seems to have a whole good girl thing going that Thomas finds very refreshing as it happens. It isn't easy to refresh a man who is often found under a pile of partners.

This is different. All his escapades, he was looking to fill a hole in his soul. Maybe this sweet Fae can do that on her own.

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn shrugs, "It's okay, really..I mean, I got this sweet little weapon that's come in handy on multiple occasions." she peers up at him, all innocence and curiosity. Oh yeah, hrs probably never been like a girl like her before. She's certainly never been with a guy like him..Ever..

She sighs, resting a hand on her chest, over her heart. "Right here. She took it, tried to take all of my soul and taint it. But even then, I can be..Bad, sometimes." he winks playfully, still trying to be a badass. Even if she still comes off as cute and innocent. Maybe it kinda bothers her.

His words really hit her, get her wondering, "Is it so bad to want to be stronger?"

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake lays back down and pulls her next to him. "It's not bad. But you can lose sight of things, think you are better than people, or can do anything. Or worse... you KNOW better than anyone." He begins kissing the hand on her heart. "You have ... plenty ... of ... soul. I wouldn't worry too much. Pretty sure evil creatures don't make such cute little sounds or giggle."

He gets up and says, "Maybe we should go out or something? I feel like if we stay here and keep talking... you're pretty hard to resist and I want to take things slowly. Want me to show you around town?"

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn giggles as she curls up against him, seeming so new to all of this and a part of her probably wants to just jump right on in. But she's still young and innocent and she nods, "Yeah, we probably should, you know, go somewhere. Else." she licks her lips, a bit nervous, eager to get to know him, not wanting to rush too quickly. "I've never been to Happy Harbour before, but it seems nice... A tour would be fun... Can we get ice cream?"
