Outside Caritas - Late Tuesday Evening

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

The party was still going on inside, but Charlie had eventually found Alanna again and asked her to join him outside. So here they were in the chilly Fall air, walking quietly together.

[OOC: Locked to threeweapons minus the cat.]

The air was colder than he'd anticipated after being inside for so long, but he really didn't want to do this in front of a crowd. They walked for a little while, but stopped before they got too far away from Caritas.

"So, uh, hi."

Alanna was rubbing her hands on her arms in order to warm up a little more. Because a sweater and two jackets were just not enough on top of a shirt. "Hi." There might have been a blush.

"You cold?" Stupid question. "Stupid question. Sorry."

"Nah, I'm always cold. I'd probably be cold in the middle of the desert in the summer. So um, can we kill Jamie?"

"I think hitting him just makes more of him, so the more we try, the more Jamies there are gonna be. He's really not subtle, but," Charlie shrugged. "He was kinda right."

Alanna did that thing where the mouth moves but the only noise that comes out is sorta a very long e sound.

Charlie didn't really know what to do with that, so he paused, then kept talking. "If you want to tell me to buzz off or something, then okay, you can walk away and I won't chase you. If you don't, then stay so I can kiss you."

Alanna most certainly didn't walk away. "I ... I doubt I'm going to, going to to tell you to buzz off."

He couldn't help but smile at that, and feel relieved. Charlie stepped a little closer and put his hand on Alanna's shoulder. As he leaned in and he felt her breath, he closed his eyes and kissed her.

Alanna smiled into the kiss and brought her hands up to Charlie's waist.

Charlie slid his hand from her shoulder up to brush her hair aside and rest on her collarbone. His thumb gently stroked her cheek as he pulled back and opened his eyes. He smiled. "Hey."

Alanna was a little out of breath. "Hi." Give her credit, at least she wasn't blushing again.

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

He lowered his hands to rest on her arms, rubbing them gently. "Still cold?"

Alanna smiled and blushed. "Warming up. Happy Birthday." She leaned in to kiss him again.

He didn't have a chance to grin before she kissed him. He kissed her back, this time without the nerves, and slid his hands down to her waist.

Alanna deepened the kiss and tightened her grip on Charlie's waist.

Charlie pulled her closer and slid his one arm around her, while the other reached up to her face. He pulled away for a moment and looked down at Alanna, brushing her hair away from her face. Then he had his chance to grin, before kissing her again.

Eventually, they would have to go back to the party. But for now, he preferred it out here.
