Dite's Decadent Delights, Tuesday Afternoon

For once while opening the store, Raven didn't avert her eyes as much as possible from the merchandise. This didn't mean she was suddenly comfortable in her surroundings, not at all. The majority of the items for sale did still baffle her -- and some of them even scared her -- but now she thought she understood just why one item came with an attached rabbit. The more you know....

She settled behind the counter and hoped the day went quickly so she could visit Chuck. And she totally wasn't eyeing some of the books for sale and wondering if she should flip through them. Strictly for educational purposes, of course.

Decadent Delights was open, and the empath was in a very good mood. Primarily because she was obsessing on one thing so that she could pretend the events of the past week had never happened, but it was a good mood!

Hurley had no idea what he was getting himself into when he walked in through the door.

He realized fast. All too fast.

"Oh, dude," he said.

Raven was fairly certain that the position into which the people in the picture were trying to contort themselves -- and she was so not sure how many people there actually were there -- was not possible for normal humans without breaking something. But before she could puzzle it out, she heard the door open and flipped the magazine closed and pushed it away.

Then she realized it was Hurley and blushed. There were certain things she didn't want to know about her friends. (Unless it was Chuck, of course.)

"Hello, Hurley," she said with an embarrassed wave.

There were certain things Hurley didn't want his friends to know, too, which would be why he did the following:

"Gah!" he said, ducking behind a display.

He paused a a moment.

"...hi Rachel."

"Were you seeking the hardware store?" Raven said, offering him an out if he wished. "It is up the street. People come in here looking for it all the time."

Well, there was hardware here, too, just of an entirely different kind.

"Actually, yeah," Hurley said. "But, uhhh. What all is sold here?"

He couldn't believe he actually asked that.

"Truthfully, I do not understand what much of it is," Raven said, cheeks flushing even pinker. "There are a variety of items designed to enhance pleasure."

"...I really shouldn't be in here, should I?" Hurley said.

"Love and pleasure should not be feared," Raven said, just a little dreamily. "If you have need of something, pretend I am not here if that will help?"

Hurley blinked. That was not the same freaking-out Rachel he'd taken for ice cream.

"...well, you seem to be in a lot better mood," he said.

"I am," Raven admitted with a shy smile. "Oh, Hurley, all my life I have been told that I cannot love or be loved, but now that I have felt it, I cannot understand why something so wondrous was denied me."

"Oh, dude," Hurley said, smiling because he was a total romantic at heart. "Who's the lucky guy?"

"Chuck," Raven said, almost giddily.

Hurley was still smiling. "Chuck who?"

"Chuck Bass," Raven said. "Is there more than one? You are teasing me...."

If this was a sitcom, a record would have come to a scratching halt.

His face fell.

"Chuck Bass?"

"Please do not be worried, Hurley," Raven said, picking up on his surprise. "I know it is sudden but he has been so kind and wonderful to me."

"Why would you possibly be in love with Chuck Bass?" Hurley said. He didn't think Rachel was brain-damaged.

"He has been a friend to me since I came here," Raven said. "And he has made me happy. Why is this so hard to believe?"

"Because he's Chuck Bass," Hurley said. He could already hear his mother smacking him on the back of the head and telling him to mind his own business.

"He has never been anything but kind to me," Raven said. "And he was truly concerned about my happiness and well-being after what happened in the other Fandom."

"I had an entire discussion with the dude where he was all 'I'm not a nice person'," Hurley said. "And he made fun of me."

"He did?" Raven said, frowning. "I am sorry, I hope it was a simple misunderstanding. He is truly a good person, I can feel it. I know there is pain that he keeps inside himself, but now that we have been intimate, I hope he will allow me to draw it out and banish it."

"He said 'I am not a nice person'," Hurley said. "Like, no misunderstanding at all."

He started peering about, trying to see if Raven had any obvious gremlin bites.

Nothing on her neck or wrists or what little of her ankles that could be seen. She was fine, really. Just in looooooooove.

"Some people, like you, Hurley, are obvious in their goodness," Raven said. "Others do not believe they are capable of goodness or hide it for some reason. But you know I am an empath. You must believe that I felt his desire to make me happy...and his desire to love me."

Never mind the fact that her powers were still unstable after what Max-the-Vampire had done to her in the other Fandom. And that she didn't know the difference between love and lust. Moving along....

"Uhhhh, can I say something that could be interpreted as mean?" Hurley asked.

"If you think it to be mean, I would rather you did not," Raven said.

"Okay," Hurley said.

The 'It might just be because you have boobs' remained unsaid.

"...I'm gonna go."

Yeah, that wouldn't have gone over well.

"Very well," Raven said, a trace of sadness in her voice. "I hope the rest of your day is pleasant."

Hurley gave a sad smile too. "Maybe, like... once I get over the shock and stuff, we can talk."

Raven nodded. "Yes, I would like that," she said.
