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.

There really seems to be no reaction from him in any sort of way. He does however, after a moment or two, shift his stance so that his feet don't go numb. He had been going to stand back up, but she seems to like where he is so he stays.

He moves in idle ways--a hand playing with dirt here, a hand swiping at something on his clothes there, and his head glancing around at anything that moves. Other than that, he doesn't do anything.

She does actually. He's close and the fact he hasn't moved make her ace light up for a moment. He just made her quite happy.

Though now she shifts a bit. The foot she's resting on might fall asleep if she doesn't move soon. But given that she doesn't want him to move she decides not to move either. It wouldn't be very fair.

By this point in time Altaїr is at a loss for what to do. He is so uncertain as to their current relationship it's not even funny. Although for a second he has this un-precedented desire to laugh out loud. He clamps his mouth firmly shut and holds his breath waiting for the moment to pass. He hates it when his mind gets so actively muddled that he has one of those moments.

He looks up at Ivy idly and doesn't even realize it. After a moment he shakes his head and looks away. He still has nothing to say--much less does anything physically speaking.

He has good reason to be uncertain. After what had just happened today? They seem to be on shaky footing. Not because of just one of them though. They're both very complicated people. And communication can be difficult when one person reacts too strongly to body language.

Ivy shifts after a few long minutes of silence. The leg she had tucked under her body had started to go numb. Then she looses her balance even with one hand on the couch. She slips and ends up not falling off the couch. But her sun glasses nearly fell off. And she's blinking because she might have tugged at Altair while trying to not fall over or off the couch. "Um. I...lost my balance." She pulls her hand back to rub her foot that's been numbed.

Altaїr steadies himself with one hand on the ground and his other darts forward in both a balancing mechanism and also a hesitant reach to steady Ivy. The second hand doesn't quite touch her, but hovers somewhat near as she regains her balance. Then he uses it in conjunction with the couch to complete his balance before settling back to the exact position as before all the falling.

He glances at her face and is tempted to do something with those glasses of hers, but resists. Instead he simply clears his throat and looks away at nearby advertisement poster.

Ivy kept rubbing the numb foot then let her leg extend and rest next to her oher leg. Right now her sunglasses are teetering between staying blanced and slipping right off.

"Altair? I could move. So you could sit as well," she offers. Though she isn't sure if he will actually join her. She's trying to not press forward too quickly again.
