she let him into her home. nobody else besides a select few had been graced with the information of where it was let alone be allowed inside. but she trusted him. he meant no harm. right now they were currently in her kitchen as she was getting him the one whiskey glass she had -- the Glencairn glass meant for enjoying the liquor to its fullest. she had gotten it a few years ago after scoring it from a small heist, having belonged to a corpo. ithaca pours him the glass and watches as he sips -- cheeks slightly flushing. fuck, stop staring ithaca. you're going to look like a creep. the netrunner looks away and every word he speaks is deaf on her ears as she's too focused on trying to slow her heartrate. why was she so nervous? god she was acting like a school girl with how flustered she was getting. get your act together or make a move. ❝ i want to kiss you, ❞ the words blurt out so quickly and her cheeks deepen in color but he makes no effort reject her or deny her, rather, steps forward the slightest bit. and so does she. ❝ so i'm going to-- ❞ ithaca has to stand on her tip toes and he has to lean down but she at least makes it a little entertaining by grabbing his collar and gently pulling down, lips connecting with hers in a soft touch. she'd never felt this vulnerable before -- so naked and raw. but she felt safe around him. more safe than she had felt in a long time.

❛  this  is  cutting  it  a  little  too  close .  ❜ ( adam and ithaca let's GO )

❝ i think you're just afraid of having a little fun, adam. i kept you safe and alive didn't i? you didn't get fried and we managed to score some valuable information. ❞ her voice is like a devious purr, almost uncaring about the fact that they almost got into a dangerous amount of trouble. which was true -- she did not care. ithaca was more than capable of defending the both of them against other runners. her voice is warbled within the net as she focuses to scramble her appearance, sound, and location. he found her once before. it will not happen again. her form within the net [ made strictly of code , zeroes and ones ] treads towards his own and she gives a slight head tilt, shit-eating grin meant to infuriate him to the high heavens. ❝ working with me just means you have to be ready for me to do some crazy stuff. i am unconventional but i get the job done. you still have a chance to back down and forget i exist. but quite frankly i think you're starting to like me. ❞ another phrase meant to infuriate him -- throw him off his game. keep him away. she is a danger to him and she will not be responsible for the death of someone trying to do good in such a cruel world.

❝ i’ve learned so much from you. part of it is admittedly criminal behavior. ❞ ( the usual suspects )

❝ oh thank god, those are the good things you can learn from me. ❞ she raises a brow, crossing her arms. she was becoming more and more comfortable with his presence within the net and was dropping her guard for the most part. not entirely but enough to keep him within arms reach. ❝ im afraid to ask what else you've learned from me. surely nothing great. unless my uncanny ability to borderline always be snarky has rubbed off on you, then i can be proud of that. ❞ its meant to make him laugh as she also chuckles. the way her stomach and heart flutter makes her nervous. we're not doing this right now, emotions. he was starting to grow on her a little too much. more than she would like.
