Raphael has posed:
     It can be hard to find privacy in the Lair. Other turtles coming and going, along with a number of other mutants. So Raph hasn't managed to talk to their newest roommate about.... certain things. So, tonight he asked her to come with him somewhere. He lead the Salamandran warrior to an older area of town, one with a vintage theater that showed movies that weren't new releases. It's a lot easier to sneak into than the modern places. In no time the pair infiltrated from the roof, and were soon perched in an unused balcony overlooking the theater below. As long as they weren't too loud, none of the sparse attendees below would be likely to notice them.

Sitting next to Mona Lisa, Raphael a little nervously watches the movie on the screen. A romcom called... something. He honestly hadn't been paying any attention. It's not like it was what was really important here tonight. He occasionally glances at her while the trailers roll, and finally the opening credits begin. It's a few minutes into the movie itself that he leans over and whispers to her, "Hey, uh. Mona? I wanted to talk to you about somethin."

Mona Lisa has posed:
     Mona stretches, the taller alien placing her arms around the backs of the seats, with one arm going behind Raph's shell along the top of the chair. Is that the same sort of excuse to put your arm around someone on her planet? Her other arm is across the back of an empty seat, so he can't be sure... Those big, noble, sweet salamander eyes glance from the screen back to Raph as he starts talking to her a few minutes in, that feminine voice with an almost motherly strength and kindness to it saying "Raphael, I was under the impression we were not supposed to speak during the movie, as the instructions said..." with a clearly teasing tone. Regardless, the turtle has her full attention, the alien looking at the red bandanna'd brother with a soft smile.

Raphael has posed:
     The normally most feisty turtle's lips twitched a little at the teasing from the alien warrior. "Heh. Yeah." He shifts in his seat. "But seriously though." He looks at the screen for a time, putting his thoughts together. Finally he sighs. Dammit, you're the brash one! Just come out and say it. He turns back to Mona Lisa, staring into those big eyes of hers. "So here's the thing, Mona. I... like you." A heartbeat, two. "Like... romantically. I think you're kinda amazin. And beautiful. And I thought I'd at least let you know how I feel." He grimaces. "I've never done this before. Not sure how well I'm doin."

Mona Lisa has posed:
     Mona Lisa's eyes widen a little at his words, but then narrow half-lidded as the turtle confesses, and as soon as he finishes saying the word "Doin'" her lips meet his, closing her eyes and kissing him. She soon breaks the kiss, the alien rubbing his face with hers as she says "The thought had... crossed my mind a few times. Your outfit certainly leaves nothing to the imagination, you are an excellent warrior much like myself, a true equal... you are not too dissimilar to my species, despite being worlds apart... and you're..." she whispers, practically hissing the word "Aggressive..." in his ear with a sultry tone.

     She withdraws a little, biting her lower lip, but then exhales with moisture on her breath, saying "Interspecies relationships don't have the best history, but you, Raphael... Hmm. This assignment was the last place I expected to find a nearly ideal mate..."

Raphael has posed:
     The bald red-clad turtle makes a startled sound when the lithe lizard presses her mouth to his. Wow, suddenly he's kissed somebody. He reflexively cups her face, giving her a gap-mouthed stare after she pulls away again. His eyes are very wide. "Uhhhh." It seems like he's taking some time to process what just happened. Eventually he gives himself a shake and blinks rapidly. "...y-yeah, ideal. That's me." Okay. Not doing the best there, bud. He swallows, then leans towards her to kiss her back. His arms wrapping around her slender frame and crushing her against him. He's clumsy with his lips and tongue. But he is enthusiastic.

Mona Lisa has posed:
     The newt gives a surprised "Mmph!" as the turtle kisses her again, followed by a muffled laugh and then her arms wrap around him in turn. With the arm rest between them, that simply won't do, so she pulls on him until they fall to the floor in front of the seats, a thump heard from the balcony above to the moviegoers below as his shell hits the floor. Straddling on top of him, the salamandrian goes to grasp his hands and try to force them up by his head with fingers interlocked as best they can with the difference in digit count. She breaks the kiss while trying to pin him like this, breathlessly saying "Raphael, I just want you to understand what you're getting into. I'm not from this world. When my assignment is done, I don't know what... the most viable way forward for either of us might be. If the time comes, I would have to give up my career to stay, or you would have to come back with me and say farewell to Earth. It... would not be for a long time just... remember this, before your heart embraces me too deeply..."

     She swallows before kissing him again, this one lighter and without tongue, like her first one and unlike Raph's clumsy attempt...

Raphael has posed:
     Raph lets out a grunt when they fall on the ground, and his first instinct is to throw her off. Ninja training and all. He fights it though, which gives her the chance to pin his hands. His breathing is a little uneven once she breaks away, and he's somewhat dazed. He sobers up when she explains how things are however and gives a slight nod. "I...yeah. I get that, Mona. But I didn't want to just keep this inside and regret it later on. I guess we can... take it slow, and see where things go?" He smiles up at her. And then returns the kiss...

Mona Lisa has posed:
     Mona laughs as he says to take things slow, saying "Raphael, I was saying that we may not have an infinite amount of time... so very much on the contrary, if one of us may need to make a hard decision someday... we should endeavor to enjoy every second we have together. And who knows? Maybe we'll be able to work things out in a way that is good for us both, if that day comes..." She then resumes kissing him, this time her powerful, longer tongue begins to wrestle the turtle's and show it who's boss...
