[oorah]

why would you tell me that

[blacksky]

Because your mind jumped to sex and it was fun. :) His abilities are why he's so tactile and yet there you are thinking about our sex life without any prompting from me. (Very interesting by the way.) How can I not have a little fun with that?

[oorah]

[ there's a pause, maybe a couple minutes compared to the others. ] you're terrifying

[blacksky]

I know. Aren't you so happy I'm on your side?

[oorah]

i didn't actually know you were
that's nice [ does he even have a side anymore? ]

[blacksky]

'That's nice.' Really? I think you mean it's an honor that one of the finest warriors on Earth has decided to grace you with her help in battle should you need it. You are so happy to have won my favor would be a nice bonus too.

[oorah]

here i thought you'd be satisfied knowing i'm scared of you
there's not much to fight around here but alright i'm motherfucking ecstatic
better?

[blacksky]

Much better. That was satisfying, but I still like as much appreciation as I can get.

[oorah]

i have a gift for you
how's that for appreciation?

[blacksky]

Perfect! You have my complete attention. What did you get me?

[oorah]

how about i just show you
want to come here or me to go there?

[blacksky]

I'll come to you. I've been curious about the kind of place the mayor lives. I can't believe you pulled that off.

[oorah]

it's just a little past house 12
you can't miss it
and trust me i have no fucking idea how i pulled that off

[blacksky]

That makes it even better. See you soon. [She'll be rolling up on his crib fairly quickly!!! Nothing really to mention here except her hair is pulled up in a messy ponytail to go with hideous jumpsuit she thinks of burning everyday.]

[oorah]

[ he waits for her on the porch like a good mayor, getting up and waving to her once she gets closer like she could ever miss the shitbrickhouse right in front of her dressed in all black. frank opens his well-oiled door silently and before he can usher her inside, max bursts out to sniff her aggressively. new friend new friend!!!!! ]

[blacksky]

[Elektra immediately backs up and steps out of the way of the dog. Fun fact: most dogs try to maul her. She has no idea why aside from the whole breaking into their master's home thing. It's probably that actually. Regardless, she shoots Frank a quick, panicked look. She's not going to kill his dog because it's clearly his, but is he going to try to kill her?? Please let her know if she needs to silently climb onto his roof or something.]

[oorah]

[ he hasn't had to deal with a dog phobia yet, but he quickly discerns what's going on and motions to max to lay down. which the dog does with zero hesitation. he looks up at elektra like he still wants her love, but he's completely silent about it. ]

Safe. [ he signs, then pulls out his device. ] he's safe. he won't hurt you. do you need me to put him away?

[blacksky]

[She lets out a silent sigh of relief through her nose. If Elektra didn't know any better, she'd think he actually wanted her attention? That can't be right. Frank clearly has control over him. He's more than proven he has no interest in harming her so she trusts him to keep at it.

She will just very carefully walk past Frank and Max to get inside.] Not if he's safe. He can stay.

[She can get over the discomfort.]

[oorah]

he's safe. [ an assurance as he waves her in. it's a large, open floor plan but nothing looks menacing. max comes in after her and frank tells him with sign to go lay down again.

there's a basket on the table that he points out to her. a red jumpsuit in her size is in there as well as white cloth shoes akin to keds or some such. and a light knit jacket in dark enough gray that it may as well be black. there's venison jerky and a red and pink rabbit's foot in the basket as well. as well as some peonies he picked from his garden and then meticulously dried. ]

[blacksky]

[Elektra enters, scanning everything with the eagerness of a child, before her eyes wander over to the basket. She wastes no time heading towards it and going through the articles. Its... perfect. She wasn't expecting personalized gifts. She doesn't bother hiding her delight at them.

She does a quick scan of the room before speaking up. It looks soundproofed like her house is, but if she's wrong Frank will tackle her. It's fine.] You weren't kidding about the gifts. I love them.

[oorah]

[ he doesn't tackle her so it's probably safe. but he does look wicked uncomfortable all the sudden. this is why he usually ding dong ditches gifts. ]

I have wine too. If you want some. [ he's just going to... go get that now. yep. ]

[blacksky]

Are you trying to make me like you? Because it's working. [Elektra calls after him. She eyes Max after that. She supposes now would be a good time to see if he's actually a trustworthy boy, huh? She wanders away from the basket to lean down near him and offer her hand. ]

[oorah]

[ frank brings over a bottle of rose and two cups, smiling to himself at her rejoinder. liking people had never been high on his priority list, until it meant keeping people alive. this is what he's good at, like it or not, so yeah he's the mayor of horrortown. it's apropos when you really stop to think about it. thankfully, he never allows himself the luxury.

he works the cork out with his knife as he watches her with max. the second she comes to him, he rolls over and exposes his belly in a true sign of submission, but also as a clever ploy to get belly rubs. he takes the first sip from the bottle as he waits to watch elektra's reaction. ]

[blacksky]

[Elektra isn't one not to reward trust since she's never given it. She looks surprised before immediately falling for his ploy. She starts off soft, but gets more generous after a few seconds her rubs and scratches.] You're not thinking of ripping my leg off at all. You're sweeter than your brothers.

[She coos at him before glancing at Frank, not pausing her positive attentions for a minute.] I'll take my drink now.

[oorah]

[ he brings over her cup, drinking from his while he walks and only pausing to hand it to her. ] Yes, ma'am. [ belated, but heartfelt in that gruff way of his. ]
