His shoulders drooped a little, and he went off in search for lemonade. Did he have any? He thought he might, but it looked like all he had as an empty bottle. Ok, he was going to have to talk about keeping the fridge clean with so many people. But, coming back with water, his shoulders were still drooping, and sadness was very much apparent on his face.

He handed her the water, and sat down next to her, smiling a sad smile. “Well, see, that third party isn’t really in my life anymore. I hope she’s ok wherever she is, but I don’t think I’ll be seeing her any time soon. So, unfortunately, we really wouldn’t be able to reproduce that particular night. I’m sorry, I’m getting all sad and stuff, when that wasn’t the point of this at all. Maybe I wonder on some level, if you had said yes that night, if she’d still be here.” He took a deep breath and tried to will away the sad.

“But enough about me being a sad sack, because unless I misheard you, you just said you’d be up for having sex with me. I’d kind of like to make sure I got that right, you know?” And really, that was a hell of a thing.

One eyebrow arches when John walks away. Why did he suddenly get droopy? What had she said? And the expression on his face as she accepts the water from him does nothing to dissuade her from the notion she's accidentally hit a sore spot. It isn't until he starts speaking that Rose realizes what happened, and it's a simple miscommunication. She takes a sip of the water, settling it to rest on one knee while her other hand reaches out to pat him.

"I am very sorry to hear she's gone. She seemed nice and fun. But I meant the part where you mentioned your girlfriend might be interested, since I don't know her yet. I don't require much in the way of familiarity, but I do require hearing she's with us on it." Her head dips briefly, the small smile returning to her face. "Yes. You understood me correctly. I'm not suffering in any way from buyer's remorse on the matter, with or without another party involved."

She offered a hand to him, and it took him a few moments to realize she was looking to shake hands. Oh, sure, he shook hands with people he worked with, but this was so out of context, it really managed to go over his head. But, luckily, she had a good deal to say, and he took her hand, and shook it firmly.

“And, obviously, I’m John. You clearly knew that, otherwise you wouldn’t be calling me that! And while yeah, I could be walking around naked, and for all I know, we will be, that doesn’t mean I wanted to start from naked. No, you have to start wearing clothes and see where things go. But, look, if I seem flustered, it’s mostly because the moment you came back, I pretty much had flashbacks about how we could have had a threesome, and it seems you aren’t against the principle of the thing, even if it’s just the two of us…” Of course, he was still shaking her hand, even with all of that rambling. So, he finally let go and waved over to the couch.

“But, um, where are my manners? By all means, sit! I can get you something to drink if you want, soda, tea, coffee, stuff like that.” It wasn’t much of a save, but it was an attempt.

While amused, Rose manages not to laugh as he seems bemused by her manners. Perhaps it was a little more formal than necessary, but something about it struck her as the right way to go about things here. "If I'm wrong, you're welcome to correct me, but I certainly hope I'm not. I'm not against the principle or the practice. Obviously I'd like to know that the third party involved is on board with me as well, but we can start with you and work up to adding them." Her eyes flick to where their hands are still joined, a snort finally escaping being stifled. There's only so much she can suppress before a little laughter has to be allowed out.

She takes a seat on the couch, hands folding primly in her lap for now. "Your manners seem to be functioning just fine from my purview. Some water will be fine, or perhaps lemonade if you have it." It wasn't on the list of beverages offered, but it never hurts to ask.

John hadn’t actually been expecting this. What had felt like a miss connection of sorts, and wow, if things has gone another way, who knew where these to could have been, had suddenly come back, out of the blue, and was interested in at least hanging. And maybe more. He regretted not talking to her more, and for one of the rare times in his life, he could actually do something about one of his regrets. He wasn’t sure if she was going to want to stay in or not, but whatever happened, it was likely to be a good time.

But he did need to be dressed. That was kind of important. As he realized she was coming over, he dashed on over the the clean laundry and found a ghostbusters t-shirt and a pair of clean jeans to throw on. Yeah, that would work, and it was just in time, too, because he heard the transportalizer go off just as he pulled his pants up. “Just a second!” Grabbing a belt, he put that on and finally walked back out to greet her.

“I kind of figured I should be wearing actual clothes for this. I know we talked about stuff, but, um, yeah!” And of course, he found himself blushing as he looked at her. Wow, Rose was legitimately cute.

Rose takes one step off the platform, but otherwise doesn't advance into his home. She's a first time guest, and it's only good manners for her to wait for her host to arrive to greet her. "It's your home. You have every right to be stark raving naked if you like, but I do appreciate the decorum all the same."

She holds out a hand, smiling openly up at him now, because she's only been here a minute and John is already flustering like a schoolgirl. How utterly adorable "I'm Rose, as would be obvious from my resemblance to my photos and the fact I announced my immediate intent to arrive here. Pleased to meet you, John."

@embellishedbookworm It's been a long time since Rose has visited anyone outside Desmond. It's somewhat understandable, given what happened during her last excursion. Knowing you're walking into a potentially dangerous situation and reaping greater consequences than even you'd predicted can make a girl a little wary. But John was someone she'd joked with before it happened, and he doesn't seem to have changed appreciably in the time away, so she's decided to make this her first attempt, especially with Jade's encouragement.

Hair trimmed back to shoulder length and once again held away from her face with a black headband, she smooths out the black pink freud t-shirt she's wearing over dark blue jeans. One deep breath and coordinate entry away, she transports over to John's place, a pleasant expression plastered to her face. It wouldn't do to worry him the first time they ever meet.

i am so down for it, and i’ve been looking forward to seeing you! :D

Aren’t you the enthusiastic one? How precious. I’ll be dressed and ready to arrive shortly.

I hope time has treated you wvell.

#I heard rumors that you had a library.#Is it open to general perusal?

Time hasn’t treated me poorly. I do not have the library. I am merely its keeper and guide to patrons who visit, of which there are many. Without the guidance of myself or one of my assistants, I fear those not in such positions would become lost in its labyrinthine corridors. But yes, is indeed open for anyone who wishes to visit, as it always has been.

most people who hate cats

have only met other people’s cats, who may be shy or aggressive around people they dont know. they have genuinely never met a cat that cares about them

have no idea about cat body language, so when a cat is giving off signals saying “leave me alone” “stop touching me” “im annoyed” they keep giving it attention and end up getting swatted or bitten

have never met a cat in their life and just go off the stereotype that cats are jerks

i like to think i’m good at scaling things! :p

but how about tomorrow then? and where do you want to do the thing? do you have somewhere in mind? i’m pretty much down for whatever.

So you say. Maybe we’ll put that claim to the test at some point, for science, of course.

Tomorrow would be fine. I have nowhere nor anything in mind, but I do think it should be on your side of the space-time continuum for now.
