well this is different

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

Well, this is different. Zoe stood outside her girlfriend's dorm, staring at it, wondering what Devyn was planning. As ever, the text had been frustratingly vague. Just a note to come visit Devyn at her dorm, and that Zoe didn't have to dress up this time (at least Devyn was now up to telling Zoe whether or not she had to dress up; that was certainly something worth noting). For Zoe, this meant that she had to look cute, but didn't necessarily have to be absolutely adorable. She still wore a long-sleeved shirt, this time circling back to a black and white striped shirt. Actually, this would be the last "new" shirt that Zoe had for Devyn, seeing as her wardrobe was, for the most part, still back at her parents' house, assuming they hadn't gotten rid of it. Zoe had opted for a black scarf and the beret again, as well as a black skirt that fell just short of her tight clad legs. She brushed everything off and adjusted again, then took a deep breath.

Zoe raised her hand to knock, then hesitated. Not because she was nervous, but because she was wondering if there was really a point in knocking for Devyn. Zoe's girlfriend was perfectly fine just barging in on Zoe, so why shouldn't Zoe do it to her? She was expected after all. So she reached out one gloved hand (the black leather glove, this time), grabbed the door, and then....

stood there a while. She licked her lips, she shifted her feet, she even turned the knob, before eventually just lifting up her hand and rapping her knuckles against the door. She then put laced her fingers behind her back, feeling more than a little silly.

That was fairly normal around Devyn though, at least for Zoe.

[Devyn Solway]

Yes Devyn’s text message was vague, it was Devyn and she still did not do the whole texting thing to the fullest. All Zoe needed to know was that Devyn wanted her to come to her room and that was pretty much it. It was time to have Zoe over to her room, well her bedroom specifically since the common area was shared by her and her three other female roommates. Devyn was on pretty good terms with two of them, one she called Firefly and the other CharChar still for the moment. She liked both girls and flirted with them but kept her flirting a little more behaved, since doing anything with your roommate was a no-no. Just an all-around bad idea. As for her third roommate, well she didn’t really get to meet her yet or have a chat so she didn’t know, but she would work on it as some point for sure.

The food was pretty much all done for this little dinner date that Devyn had been planning for a while. She was a little hesitant about it only because of what happened between her and Zoe and still remembering those mumbled words Zoe had told her that night Devyn first woke up after almost dying because of Zoe's powers. Devyn gave her head a shake, not bother to think about that sort of thing right now. She just wanted to think about her and Zoe having a good time and wondering how Zoe was going to be about all of this and if she should have maybe pulled back a little on some of the things she planned on doing. She was wearing pretty much normal Devyn's style clothing. Black jeans, a red belt, and a short sleeve white button up shirt with the shirt collar popped up because she was cool like that. She also had a hat on having her hair pushed back so it was not in her eyes.

Knock at the door and Devyn quickly grabbed the rose with the little black ribbon on it off the counter and headed for the door. "Perfect timing." Devyn said as she opened the door and caught a glimpse of Zoe. Taking a moment to take in how her girlfriend looked and what she was wearing. We are both wearing black and white. Don’t know if that is creepy or cute....going to go with cute. Devyn thought to herself as a smile spread across her lips, moving to hold the rose out to Zoe so she would take it. "For you my beautiful Zoe." Devyn said with a wink, then moving to hold the door open for Zoe so she could come in. Devyn had everything set up in her room, since she wanted some privacy for the two of them. She had a blanket out on the floor and had set up something of a table on the ground for them to eat off of, plates already there, she just had to bring the food in. "That’s my room. Just go on in." Devyn said a small amount of worry in her tone because he room, her territory.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

Zoe blinked as Devyn opened the door. They matched. She actually giggled at that, looking Devyn up and down. Oh sure, Devyn had a few splashes of color, and she'd clearly gone a little more, well, masculine than Zoe's near overabundance of feminine. Nonetheless, they were closer matched clothing wise than Zoe believed they'd ever been. Devyn even had a hat on.

"You're looking handsome again tonight," she returned in response, before leaning in for a quick peck on the lips. She did have to rise up on her toes a bit to plant the quick kiss, but it was certainly worth it. Zoe suspected that Devyn kept wondering why they bothered calling themselves girlfriends if there wasn't going to be "fun stuff," and so Zoe intended to drive the point home as often as tactfully possible. Soon she was taking a rose and lifting it up to take a quick sniff and smiling shyly as she walked in. Devyn offered directions, and Zoe followed them, taking looks about the room while she did.

"It doesn't look all that different from the coed dorm," she commented, before entering Deyvn's room. She paused, staring down at what lay before her. A blanket, plates, something like a table. Zoe gasped, drawing her hands to her mouth, her eyes widening. She turned to Devyn, staring at her girlfriend. "Are we having a romantic dinner in your room?" she asked, nearly jumping up and down. "Oh, did you cook? I know you said you could..." now Zoe wanted to go looking around and see if there was something. or to sit down at the table and wait for Devyn to serve her. Also to just glomp Devyn and give her a hug or some kisses or something. she was definitely near to squealing with delight though.

Romantic dinner!
For two!
If there were candles, then Zoe would definitely be squeeing about now.

[Devyn Solway]

"Thank you." Devyn responded the handsome comment, always loving to hear it since it sounded better then pretty or cute. Pretty and cute made her feel like a puppy and she felt like those words fit others better than they did with her. She kissed Zoe back when she felt her girlfriend's lips touch hers for a moment. It was good to see that Zoe was still sticking to kissing her. If Zoe had not, well Devyn would certainly have seen less of a point of them being girlfriends when they behaved in a more so manner she would think of as she was with her best friends. Her lips were a little tingly, but nothing she was not use to by this point. "You are making me hot wearing that scarf." Devyn pointed out with a small chuckle, wondering if she should make a promise that she would not kiss Zoe's neck if she took it off. She would not push it however, if Zoe wanted to stay all bundled up then that was her choice and Devyn would deal.

"Yeah all the dorms are pretty much laid out the same, even the staff dorms." Devyn pointed out, not explaining why she knew what the inside of the staff rooms looked like as she followed Zoe to her room. She had made sure to clean up and when Devyn cleaned up it was military clean like her father had taught her. Bed so well tucked in that you could bounce a coin off of it and the only thing on the floor was the little set up, with no candles because Devyn would have felt like that would have been going overboard. Her room was dimly lit by a lamp that was mostly focused in the area of which they would be dinning. A large black curtain blocking the window and the walls were decorated with various bands that she listened to or just liked the look of the poster. A stereo in a corner and if Zoe got close enough she could see a few large scratches on the wall near the window. Devyn just hopped Zoe didn’t have to go to the bathroom since she did not get around to taking down a certain poster on the back of the door and hiding...various things.

"We are, and the food might not be all that typical of a romantic date, but I did cook it." Devyn said with a slight chuckle, green eyes scanning her room to make sure nothing that she didn’t want Zoe to see was out, and had a lot of stuff hiding under her bed. "Tonight its steak and rice. How do you like your steak?" Devyn asked having prepared two of each kind already, planning on having leftovers for her roommate. She moved to pick up the two plates on the make shift table. "Oh and what would you like to drink? I have water, soda, grape juice, and if you are feeling bold beer." Devyn said with a smirk as she took the plates with her and went out to the kitchen, leaving Zoe to pretty much do as she pleased in her room after Zoe would inform her of what she wanted.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

Zoe tactfully ignored the comment about her scarf. Devyn knew quite well why Zoe had started wearing a neck covering as well. Devyn should just be thankful that Zoe hadn't wrapped herself up like a mummy or opted for a hajib or something along those lines. Though, knowing Devyn, such wrappings wouldn't have lasted long anyway.

Zoe was still practically bouncing on her heels as she looked around Devyn's room. It suited her, just as Zoe's room suited the more delicate girl. Zoe did have to suspect that Devyn had done something to clean up the place though. She'd half expected to see half-naked pictures of girls hanging somewhere, or possibly "toys" scattered over the place (though it occurred to Zoe that such a thing might very well still be tucked away somewhere). Thinking about various tantalizing pictures made Zoe want to suggest that Devyn take one of her. She wasn't sure she could get too undressed though, but she definitely preferred thinking her girlfriend was fantasizing about her mostly nude form as opposed to some other female. Though Devyn still could technically engage with whomever she wanted...

Those doubts dissipated in a squeal as Devyn announced the plan for the evening. Zoe couldn't help but give her girlfriend a quick hug and a fierce, but still quick, kiss, the thrill of it practically beaming. "None of the boys I dated ever bothered to do something like this!" she said, practically squealing. Okay, so steak and rice wouldn't have been Zoe's first choice; she certainly wasn't going to complain about the food. "oh, water, please," she said, settling down into a seat. She almost immediately sprang up. "Oh, was I supposed to get it myself? I was sort of thinking you were going to just sort of serve it, but I don't want to assume or anything..."
and she flushed and bit her lip, since that was pretty much the default setting for Zoe by this point.

[Devyn Solway]

Zoe didn't respond to Devyn's question about the scarf, which would only lead to Zoe's downfall later. Yes Devyn knew why Zoe was wearing it, but she wanted to hear Zoe say it. Since Zoe did not she was not planning on removing the scarf at some point or making Zoe hot enough that she would have to remove it. She is so cute. Devyn could not help but to think that of Zoe so often since so many things Zoe did fell into the area of which Devyn thought was cute. Zoe was just so happy that she was basically bouncing around. Devyn would not have been surprised if Zoe started skipping around her room or letting out actual squeak sounds of some sort.

Devyn started to wonder if she should lay down any rules for Zoe so Zoe would not stumble upon things. Really so long as Zoe didn’t lift up the sheets under her bed or complete pull out the very bottom drawer in her desk, she had nothing to worry about. Devyn didn’t even really see Zoe as the snooping type so she honestly was not worried. Still, she was thinking of what she was going to say if Zoe did find any of her 'toys' or her stack of magazines. Devyn did like her old school magazines after all, liking to flip through a few of them before bed. She even use to hide some in her text books so she could at least stay awake in class, but she was still not paying attention and plus she was not always lucky enough to sit in the back of the classroom so someone could peeks over and see the magazines, and she didn’t like to share much of anything that was hers.

"Whoa." Devyn said with a chuckle at Zoe quickly hugging her and giving a fierce kiss that Devyn had wished was not quick. If Zoe kept kissing her Devyn was soon going to react back, but for now she was still holding strong. Probably for the fact that she was hungry and the smell of the steak while she was cooking it had just increased her hunger, so her mind was more so on food then it was on lust for once, for now. "That’s because none of those boys were me." Devyn said with a small amount of pride but then a question popped into her mind. "So none of them took you out on dates or you just mean in terms of cooking for you?" Devyn asked since she was now curious to know just what kind of guys Zoe dated, maybe they shared the same taste in men. "I'm taking care of everything. Think of me as your chef, waiter, date, and...well I'll leave the last part a secrete for now." Devyn said with a certain tone towards the end, then going to the kitchen.

Zoe was a tiny girl so Devyn didn’t see her eating much, but to be safe she still got Zoe a nice sized steak and a good amount of rice. Picking a well done steak for Zoe because she didn’t think Zoe would be a fan of rare. Devyn would eat pretty much any kind expect burnt, because yuck. She struggled for a moment wondering if Zoe would still kiss her if she ate a rare steak, but it look so juicy she got it anyways. Tucking a water bottle under her arm, one plate in each hand, and heading back to her room to set the plates and Zoe's water on the make-shift table. She was going to go with one beer for now but that was under her bed...problem. She would go and get water in a second. "Need any condiments?" Devyn asked, so she could get pretty much everything before she sat down. Oh how she just wanted to eat, but this was a date so it was about Zoe and not her belly.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

Zoe certainly didn't mind hearing Devyn saying the whoa for once. It did make her remember that she had better be at least somewhat careful, since she didn't want to cause her girlfriend any discomfort. There was, perhaps, a small part of Zoe that wanted to tease Devyn a little, see if she could get her all worked up. However, that part didn't stand a chance against the rest of Zoe, particularly the rather large portion of the girl who was absolutely loving being treated to a romantic dinner (and the fact that it was relatively informal just made it all the better in Zoe's eyes).

"that's true,' admitted Zoe. She was tempted to make a comment about how girls were obviously better than boys, but she wasn't entirely certain where her own sexuality lied. She loved Devyn, was certainly sexually attracted to her, but she wasn't sure if that universally applied to girls. So instead, she decided to give Devyn at least a little information, recognizing the fishing for what it was: "I went on a few dates, mostly silly first date nonsense though. Only one ever really got that romantic with me," she confessed, her eyes showing that excitement. so she wanted to be wooed, who didn't, really?

Not like Devyn hadn't just promised to do everything. Zoe elected to sit then, though she squirmed and couldn't help but look like she was about to jump up from at the slightest provocation. When Devyn arrived, Zoe complimented the food, or at least the appearance of it, and helped by gathering her own water bottle and pulling her plate toward her. The steak looked like far more than Zoe could eat, but she supposed she could always ask Devyn to finish it for her, since Zoe sincerely doubted her girlfriend was going to be a light eater.

"No, this should be fine, thank you," said Zoe, primly situating herself, looking for silverware and other such necessities. Were there a napkin of some kind, it would soon be folded on Zoe's lap, smoothed over. If not, Zoe was unlikely to make much notice about it...

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn didn’t really mind being caught somewhat off guard by Zoe and she really did enjoy seeing how happy seeing Zoe happy. That cute smile and those eyes that gave away the purest and honest of emotions. Zoe was really a girl that practically showed all of her emotions, Devyn didn’t even really have to try that hard to figure out how Zoe was feeling. She didn’t know what Zoe as thinking from to time, partly blaming Zoe's emotions for covering up what Zoe was thinking. Even if Devyn really knew it was more so because she did not fully understand just what went on in Zoe's mind. Zoe could have been teasing her about the sexy dreams and with the whole quick kisses that she would do from time to time. She really is such a tease. Devyn thought, which then made her start to think if that was why she seemed to want to stay around Zoe even after the girl had said she loved her.

Normally Devyn would have started coming around said person less after they said they loved her, but Devyn didn’t. Well she did, but not in a large way that would be to noticeable or out of character with her lack of information she provided in her text as to what she was doing. It might have been because Zoe mumbled it in a sleepy like state. So it could have just slipped out. Yet, that still meant that maybe Zoe had dreamed about saying it to Devyn. She let out a sigh, knowing again that she needed to stop thinking about this and getting a little upset that her brain kept going back to it. Forcing instead on Zoe's words and the information Zoe gave her about the kind of dates she went on. "So the one that got romantic with you, what did he do?" Devyn asked, curious if she was doing better than that guy. Even if Zoe said it, Zoe could have been saying it because they were dating; Devyn wanted to know what he did and compare herself to see in fact if Devyn was doing a better job at being 'romantic'.

"Thanks for coming over by the way. Sorry it took me so long to invite you here." Devyn said as she gave a nod of thanks to Zoe for helping out with the water and plates. She moved to grab her seat as well and get comfy sitting on the floor and very eager to dig in. She had everything already set up, napkins, silverware, and she was only missing condiments, which was why she asked. Zoe said she as fine however and then proceeded to be very lady like and placing a napkin on her lap, making Devyn snicker. "Should I use my fancy table manners as well?" Devyn teased a little as she started to cut up her steaks and already digging in, because hungry. She did make an effort to eat slower then she normally would however. "Has anyone been giving you problems lately that I need to take care of?" Devyn asked after she ate a mouthful, waiting until she had no food in her mouth before speaking. Ever since well...the incident, Devyn had been angry a lot because of the whispers and that blog post. I'll punch the face in of anyone who make her cry. Devyn thought as her hold on her fork tightened a little.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

What did her old dates do? Surely Devyn wasn't jealous of a few awkward teenage boys who had fumbled their way through time spent with Zoe? she couldn't help but smile at hearing the jealous and competitiveness leaking in there. "Nothing too serious," she said, she smiled coyly and met Devyn's eyes, but only for a second before coyly looking away, "he just wrote me some poetry. Sang me a song too, but he didn't write that one. I think he had quite the crush on me," he had been by far the favorite of Zoe's exes too; you could hear that in the words she used or in how she smiled as she remembered it. Devyn was better, of course, and Zoe would certainly say so. Said boy had gotten almost as far as Devyn had. No touching though; that had always been a bit of a thing with Zoe.

As for coming to the room, Zoe looked around a bit after Devyn said that, smiling again. "Well, I figured I'd end up here eventually," she said, keeping her voice light. "I'm actually rather impressed. Letting me see your bed must be quite a temptation for you," she ended by smiling. The food had arrived by this point, which meant that Zoe could daintily begin nibbling on her foot. She took small bites of her steak, bites that had been carefully cut and parceled out, sectioned into manageable pieces and chewed carefully.

While Zoe chewed, she noticed the restraint Devyn showed. She nearly laughed at that. "You don't have to hold back on my account,' she insisted, pointing with a fork at Devyn's plate. "I'm well aware that you're a meat eater," she took another bite, chewing and smiling, still obviously delighted with the whole thing. She wanted to keep teasing Devyn, but she had a feeling that too much might wind up with Zoe on her back on Devyn's bed...

...which sound far too appealing.

[Devyn Solway]

Well Devyn was not really all that jealous at first, no...only a little bit. She really was just curious was all there was to it. Devyn's green eyes squinted at Zoe when she said it was nothing too serious and was smiling coyly. Their eyes meeting and Devyn's green eyes looking right into Zoe's brown one, but then Zoe looked away, coyly once again and then went to explain what the guy did. She likes poetry, that had to score him pretty big on her like scale. Devyn thought as Zoe talked about how he made her a poem and even sang a song to Zoe, in other words serenaded Zoe. Devyn had not done either of those things. Devyn might have been able to play with off if not for Zoe's tone as she spoke about this boy, clearly having some form of fondness for him. "He sounds sweet." Devyn said with a very forced smile, yup jealous, but she won’t admit it out loud. "Why did you two break up?" Devyn asked, since that was the most important part of this all.

The jealously lessen a little as Zoe began to talk about being in Devyn's room and how it must have been tempting for Devyn. See it was not at the moment because Devyn was eating because she was very hungry, but now that she was eating and Zoe brought it up. Well Devyn was thinking about it. Seeing it even. Zoe laid back on her back on Devyn's bed, giving that affectionate look in her eyes, possibly a little fear, maybe some lust if Devyn was lucky. "So are you saying you want your first time to be on my bed then?" Devyn asked as a sly smile took over her face, giving Zoe a certain look, one mixed with hunger, lust, and teasing. Devyn didn’t move however from where she was sitting, still eating and very much enjoying her medium rare steak that was pink on the inside but she made sure it was not bleeding or still mooing for Zoe's sake. Even if it would have been pretty interesting to hear her steak moo every time she would cut into it. Zoe meanwhile was taking her time, eating like she had no worry about anyone coming to take her food away.

She is a prey animal for sure. Devyn thought to herself and even gave a small nod, finding it interesting that she was dating prey instead of another predator like herself, which was more common for her to date. Zoe said Devyn didn’t have to hold back and understood that Devyn liked her meat. Well, Devyn's mind was in the gutter at the moment so she could not help but to snicker at that. "I do love my meat, however I have had a strong desire to eat me some Zoe. I hear it’s so fresh, ripe, and innocent about this time of year. Know where I can get some?" Devyn asked, tilting her head a little at Zoe, giving a devious grin for a moment before going back to eating, starting to work on her rice.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

Devyn was most certainly jealous, and Zoe was most certainly tempted to milk it for all it was worth. It was rare for their positions to be switched like that. It was almost as interesting for Zoe as the time she'd been on top of Zoe, screaming at shadows and proclaiming her possession over the other girl. As for how they broke up, Zoe ended up pausing for a moment to think. There had been some awkward relations, but this one had been a little less so. What had been the issue there... Zoe actually had to bite her lip for a moment while she thought.

"Ah, right," she said, nodding, "he moved." she looked Devyn in the eye, smiling. "We were only about fourteen or so, and his parents got a job in another state,' she shrugged. "These things happen. He wasn't nearly as handsome as you though, so don't worry," she said this last with a little smile.

Probably for the best that she'd complimented Devyn, though that apparently hadn't stopped the other girl from taking the bedroom suggestion for all it was worth. Zoe blushed, as Devyn no doubt had expected. She poked and prodded her food, shifting awkwardly and taking a halfhearted nibble at it. However, in this case, Zoe knew that not answering would be almost as bad as answering. She took a sip of her water bottle, looking up at Devyn. "I want it to be wherever is best for us," she said with absolute honesty. She held the look for only a few moments before flushing and looking down, attacking the rice and therefore further proving Devyn's "prey" assertion all too well.

Love meat, want to nibble Zoe. She blushed again, giving Devyn a look that was half teasing, half "don't ruin this for me," and then took another delicate nibble. Though Zoe supposed it was better to be getting teased this way than focusing on the question she'd accidentally avoided: was anyone bothering her? Didn't Devyn realize that most of the school had ostracized her? She hadn't seen Shiloh or Cole in a while, and she wasn't sure if it had to do with the blog or something else. Maelea had at least been keeping in contact though, and there was Elyse...

But yes, better to think of the flirting and not the horrible situation Zoe was in now. Yes, that was certainly for the best.

[Devyn Solway]

Hearing that Zoe only broke up with the guy because he moved away didn’t really make her feel any better. So really that meant that he was just right for Zoe, perfect, and that Zoe should have still would be with him. At least to have him as her first, since Devyn bet that boy could have easily loved Zoe right off that bat as she deserved. At least the two of them could have been together before Zoe came into her powers, but then that might have meant she would end up doing to him what she ended up doing to Aya. Still might have been better for Zoe in the end, since Devyn knew herself and her flaws. She knew that pretty much either way she was going to end up hurting Zoe at some point. Either by breaking up with her or if they did really commit to each other, making the relationship no longer open, well that just left the risk of Devyn cheating on Zoe, which would hurt her girlfriend as well.

I can't stop thinking about this. Devyn had been really trying for sure to not think about this sort of thing but it just kept coming right on back. Devyn did smile a little however at Zoe saying that the boy was not as handsome as she was. "That is because you are totally a lesbian Zoe. Possibly a little bisexual." Devyn pointed out with a smirk as she went back to eating. Wanting something to drink, but beer was under the bed where hidden things were, but she didn’t really want to leave the room. She was just going to risk it either way; she figured Zoe would not ask either way. Plus everything was that was well pretty obviously on the bad side was in a box, however the magazine where just kind of sprawled out under her bed since she kind of just shoved them under there. "What if right now on the floor was what was best for us?" Devyn asked, tilting her head a little to the side still with that look in her eyes as she watched her girlfriend give her eye contact for a moment before submitting and going back to her food.

The blush was cute as always but Zoe had also given her a look, which Devyn just smiled innocent like at her girlfriend, but would pull herself back and behave. Devyn did indeed forget about her earlier question, having been distracted with jealousy and flirting. If Zoe really wanted someone to share in things or needed to feel better, Devyn figure Zoe would tell her. Devyn only knowing about a few whispers and the blog but other than that she didn't know all that was going on. She didn’t get out much since she was busy with other things. Moving to get up and go over to her bed, lifting up the sheet; which Zoe would be able to easily see the magazine if she was looking, while Devyn grabbed herself a beer. She was not a big fan of drinking, but every so often she wanted a beer or an alcoholic beverage. "Willing to risk staying the night here?" Devyn asked, not knowing if Zoe had plans and if Zoe was willing to risk being outside her room when curfew came around. Seeing as Devyn was the one mainly breaking it, but now Zoe was in her room.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

What if it was? Oh, Zoe definitely blushed as Devyn essentially suggested flinging her girlfriend down on the carpet and getting rugburns on places that wouldn't be polite to discuss in public. The comment had doubtless been meant as a tease, make Zoe blush and possibly get her back for her own teasing mere moments before. Still, Zoe couldn't help but think on it for a few moments, her mind lingering on the image of Devyn springing up her. Could she resist? No, she'd have to, considering what happened last time...

... and why wasn't Zoe considering the love factor when she stopped to think there? Because you want her. Devyn's sexy; she's experienced, and some part of you just wants to know what it feels like to finally have someone take you there. You love her too, Zoe. Zoe licked her lips, glad yet again that Devyn couldn't read minds. Who knew where their relationship would be if Devyn had developed telepathic powers instead of the ability to shift into a giant shadow beast.

"It's not," she said, her voice actually a little solid, her eyes meeting Devyn, adding a silent and you know it to the words. There was something of a promise in there too, Zoe allowed Devyn to see that her resistance was chipping away. There was blushing and food to get to, with Zoe eating quite a bit of the rice.

another question came, and Zoe looked up, her eyes a little wide. She flushed for a moment, removing her utensil from her mouth and playing with it. "I don't see why not," she admitted, shrugging, "I mean, I, um, don't have anything to sleep in, so," she looked intensely at her plate, "I'd have to borrow some of your clothes," she practically whispered the last few words, flushing again. Like Devyn wouldn't just love having Zoe wrapped up in her clothing. Zoe definitely knew that she enjoyed cuddling with the massive wolf entirely too much.

[Devyn Solway]

Zoe was blushing and not saying anything, which had to mean that she was at least thinking about what Devyn had suggested. She had to me. How could she not? Devyn knew for a fact that Zoe had to want her. Zoe had said it herself in a way with her agreeing to wanting to sleep with Devyn back when they were in the infirmly. Plus the events before they ended up there made it clear that Zoe wanted her, and had quite the 'appetite' at that. Devyn not really expecting Zoe to full on jump up, wrap her legs around her, and kiss her as hard as she did. Its always the shy ones. Devyn thought with her smirk turning a little naughty at the thought. Had to mean that Zoe did have desires for sure, like she should at her age. Either way, Devyn wanted Zoe, Zoe had to have wanted Devyn, and the only thing really stopping them was Zoe's power. Well, there was that condition but Devyn was pretty sure she could get Zoe to falter on that.

Might have to make a promise. Devyn thought, knowing that was pretty much the only way she was going to be able to keep herself from getting Zoe's condition to break. Zoe licked her lips which just made Devyn want to give her a kiss, words following after in a solid tone. Beautiful brown eyes meeting Devyn's green and something else trying to be conveyed to Devyn. She understood, but it didn’t really deter her all that much. Well it did in the fact that Devyn was not going to try and take Zoe on the carpet. "I still have to teach you the basics at least. Won't you let me show you about pressure and friction?" Devyn asked as she dropped her voice down into a whisper, saying the last three words slowly. Zoe was still blushing and eating her rice, but all Devyn cared about what that she was eating. Zoe needed to get some meat on her bone. Devyn feeling like sometimes her girlfriend was just going to blow away in the wind. I really want to pick her up now. The thought floated in Devyn's mind as she got the urge just thinking about how easy it would be to just lift Zoe up...and then lay her on her bed.

Zoe seemed to be embarrassed by Devyn's question if she was up for staying the night, but Devyn didn’t understand why. Sure they didn’t have sleep overs all the time or anything, only one here and there and it was Devyn staying at Zoe, but would it really be that different? Zoe was agreeing either way and Devyn understood a little why Zoe seemed to be feeling weird about it all. "Seeing you in something of mine. I might have to get a picture. Going to be really hot. My clothing lose on you since I'm taller." Devyn said in a certain tone, looking at Zoe and already picturing it in her mind. She had a nice black pj set with long sleeves and pants, so it would be perfect for Zoe. Covering up Zoe's skin, even if it might be a little baggy since Devyn was three inches taller than her girlfriends. The bagginess might actually make Zoe feel better since she could have her hands in the sleeves.

Zoe did have some idea as to what Devyn was hinting toward; again: she wasn't completely naive, just innocent at most things, well, in doing most things. She certainly had an idea, several, and hearing Devyn give a few concrete details only made Zoe flush all the further. It occurred to her that Devyn hadn't even seen Zoe without several layers of clothing. Would a compromise like that work? Or would it just tease and torment Devyn even more?

There was rice to eat, rice to focus upon and all that. So Zoe dug into the rice; at least she knew that Devyn had done a good job with that. she did take a few nibbles here and there at the steak, since she didn't want to be rude. It had been well cooked, that steak, and Zoe did enjoy the flavor as much as she really could. She nearly choked on it as Devyn declared that seeing her in Devyn's clothing was, in her words "going to be hot." Zoe flushed, remembering her own earlier ideas. I should at least change in front of her. She's not a monster; it's not like she'd going to eat me or, okay, not eat me in the traditional sense.

Zoe's own thoughts made her go quite red at this point, and she reached for for the water bottle, taking a swig. The water did help Zoe cool off, though her mind still raced. They'd both been in one another's rooms; they spent nearly all their time together; they'd been together for at least weeks now, getting closer to at least a month. It only made sense to take their relationship to the next level. Zoe just wished that she could think of something else. She mentally flailed, searching for a topic like a drowning swimmer searched for a life preserver. The only thing she could think of was the whole lesbian pikachu incident, and she was fairly certain neither of them wanted to think about that.

"You're a good cook!" she suddenly blurted, her voice too loud. She flushed again, looking down at the food. "The food, it tastes quite good," say something at least a little together, Zoe. "I always wanted to date someone who'd cook for me," though Zoe could cook too, and she really couldn't remember saying that before now. She needed to try something else. "Where did you learn it? The cooking, I mean," another blush, and Zoe filled her mouth with more rice. If she kept food in her mouth, Zoe wouldn't be able to stick her foot in there, surely.
