Continuing her attempts to bite a nail that would not give, Nadine raised an eyebrow. "Dunno why that matters," she said, "unless you think I'm gonna murder you in your sleep and you're trying not to get attached." She grinned. "Just pretend we're already friends," she suggested, "and if I don't like it, that's nobody's fault but mine. It'll be just like all that other socializing you do, except you don't even have to leave the house." She imagined she had just detailed a nightmare scenario for him.
Sliding out of her stool, she looked down at herself. He was right. This just wouldn't do at all. She circled the island to take his hand again, this time lacing her fingers with his. "Here," she said, tugging to pull him along, "you can pick me something out, this time, so I don't fuck it up." It was definitely not just an excuse to be in a bedroom with him. Certainly not. The wagging of her tail was totally unrelated.
"You sweat the small stuff too much," she said, ignoring that 'how' was not a small question. "Don't get hung up on details." That was literally his job, but, whatever. Maybe it came off as manic pixie dreamgirl, rather than shiftless vagabond. She grinned wide at his slip of the tongue, and did not say she'd told him so. "If I'm not back by morning," she said, "assume I have been swept off my feet by someone lovely in the night. Nothing bad'll happen." The biggest concern, ironically, was police. Assumptions were sometimes made, and not having any kind of identification complicated matters. His fears were probably more along the lines of random alley attacks, never mind that statistically speaking she was in more danger from him then anyone else. She didn't think she'd be reminding him of that, since that would just make him scowl and refuse to look at her again.
