Eldritch Pollen [for Altair]

[blindingtrust]

It isn't often Ivy uses her PINpoint to go home from the Sanctuary. But she had a really good reason. To change into something a little more showy. It was a nice dress that a friend had talked her into buying.

Poor Altair would never know what hit him. It had more color than anything else Ivy owned. And showed a good amount of her legs too, didn't help Ivy was wearing matching shoes and waiting for the chance to say hello to Altair. He might find it unusal for Ivy to be wearing red.

It would just look odd seeing as she's not a flashy dresser and red is well, eye catching.

Ivy has the feelingsomeone is watching her. She just has no idea who, yet. And if she knew he was speechless well, she might grin from ear to ear. Then shamelessly sway in his direction. Because if he's distracted by one little dress, what else could distract him, hmm?

Just about anything at this point in time.

Altaїr coughs once and then clears his throat. "Ivy?" His voice sounds uncertain.

That nearly startled Ivy. She shfted her stance about to attempt to knock him over but...it was him. So she didn't look like she'd knock him over.

"Oh, hello Altair," she smiles because this is just who she was looking for. She's happy he's here. And his voice. Wow. How come she didn't notice how nice it was before?

Altaїr tries not to frown. "Hello, Ivy."

When the silence descends Altaїr shifts uncomfortably. He doesn't know what to say, although he has plenty on his mind right about now.

Ivy doesn't blush but she does tuck a bit of hair behind one of her ears.

And at least she isn't showing off any clevage this time, Altair. But she is going to take a step in his direction.

Altaїr looks like a rabbit ready to bolt, but he stays steady. Shifting his stance once again he forces himself to relax. "It's... nice to see you again." He says hesitantly.

Ivy's hand reaches up then stops. No it would be a bad idea to touch his face without warning.

"It's um. It's nice...that you're here." She pauses and takes in a breath of air. "Can I touch your face?" She won't beg but she just really needs to touch him. And she's fighting hard to not sound desperate.

But the pollen is affecting her strongly and she needs to touch him soon. She missed him.

Altaїr blinks rapidly and frowns slightly. He doesn't object to the odd request though. "It always seems I wind up in this place when you're around. I always see you." He watches her hand with keen eyes.

She's a blind woman. Touching his face is her way of seeing him. So her hand goes to his cheek and her thumb gently runs over it. A content smile crosses over her features as her fingers slowly make a journey over his face. Finally she just lets that hand cup one cheek and she boldly rests her forehead against his chin, because he is taller than her.

Ivy doesn't giggle but she does smile. "I come through the Nexus often. There are...a few places I enjoy frequenting and you usually find me when I've decided that I don't want to be there."

His eyes close briefly and then open again to look down at her. "Only when you don't want to be down here?" He says in a teasing tone.

[blindingtrust.livejournal.com]

Ivy smiles and stays right where he is. "Oh. Well. I meant that there’s a place I go pretty often but when I don’t want to be there…It seems we run into each other here. Or rather wherever I’ve gone to in the Nexus. It’s odd. Not unpleasant though.”

Her other hand ends up on on of his shoulders. She has her cane hanging from her wrist from a strap that's attached to it but the cane is nearly weightless compared to how one might expect. But Ivy is content right now. She's here with him and he's letting her touch him too.

He smirks and shifts his stance more comfortably to support her weight against his body. "Just 'not unpleasant'?" It seems teasing Ivy relaxes him despite his anxiousness towards her boldness.

One of Altaїr's hand wraps itself around Ivy's waist and steadies her. His other hand hangs uselessly at his side, a bit of uncertainness in the way it hangs there.

For a moment her face heats up. But then she tilts her face up as if looking at him. "Oh more than that. How much more is hard to say though."

The presense of his hand around her wasit causes her skin to tingle just a bit. Her mouth feels dry for a second there as well but she's thinking about things as well. Like how far she can go.
