"I think there's only one reason for that comment" She murmurs under her breath, watching. Not because she's against it per se but because she knows what would come next. and what would come next is not a venue she is ready to allow.

"And that's not what I said. I told you to ask for it." the sound of her heels follows him, he'll have at least one more chance but she doubts it. He likes to do the persuading, not the other way around.

"tch. fine." fernando leans his arm against one of the many wooden pillars that hold the bar up. "will you escort me home, isra?" the defeat is evident by the sigh that comes out right before he asks of her. even then, he continues, pulling himself off and slowly trodding off.

She stops short when he does, thoroughly surprised that he actually said it. "yes." she relents even though she had not planned on it. she follows after him in silence, not feeling compelled to say anything for the moment, perhaps a side effect of him actually asking her.

Isra watches him closely, almost antsy at his pace. Even after the handful of drinks she walks quite well in her heels.

his posture starts to straighten out once he actually leaves the bar. he can handle himself fine but there's a certain sway to the way he walks. a mix of bad meal times and his innate lack of sleep has started to bear down on his tolerance. still, the man's able to take care of himself. isra is merely a observer, with his real intentions masked behind a confession he'll never admit.

"happy?"

the silence is deafening and fernando doesn't shy away from starting the conversation.

"yes." she really shouldn't be so perky about it. "You even put on a good show this time."

Since he feels like talking she's content to let him, despite it normally being the other way around. If asked, it's his fault. He asked the wrong questions to keep her chatty and the right ones to make her content. How that works is up for the rest of the world to decide, Isra doesn't bother trying to figure it out.

"tch." her response garners a scoff. "you're so weird, isra."

the slipping inhibitions start to erode at his character. it's not the first time he's become more socially amiable to those that have some understanding of his true personality, but that doesn't make it any less odd. lilycove proves quiet this time of night - still relatively early but well past the hours that show any signs of activity. navigating the streets proves uneventful. fernando's condo isn't far. it's getting in successfully that might prove a challenge but this isn't his first excursion.

"You say that like it might be a bad thing." she grins, it's not the first time she's been told it but it's odd hearing it from him with how particular he normally is. "Should I be something else then?"

She's not toying with him or playing games, there's nothing behind the question except a question. Talking to talk as he encourages it. And perhaps to encourage him to keep talking as she follows his lead to his home. She's just here to accompany him after all.

"I know I'm not like other people, but what else am I to be?"

"it might be." he lets the thoughts linger, apprehensive on how he should respond. it's an open question and his initial response fits the standard condescending answer he's known for. he decides against it. better to go with something tamer, something safe. "no one knows what you should be but yourself and that's often in hindsight."

"tch." they reach the general area of his condo and fernando's finally come across a good reply. "you are who you are. but, if you want to change for me, i wouldn't be opposed." the lobby to the building requires a key card and fernando fishes it from his wallet. one scan is all it takes to unlock the entrance. he holds the door for her, leaning against it to steady himself.

Isra laughs out of amusement. "And why would I change for you?" the rest of what he says is the same bullshit she's never been told growing up but that she sees all over the place. People are eager to tel each other things like that she knows and it goes over her head. She doesn't need to be told it.

"What would I get out of it?" such a silly notion, as if he'd ever have the sway. she follows him in but stops in front of him, waiting for his answer with a look of amusement. "Why not just accept me as I am, what's so wrong with that?"

She knows what's wrong with that, it's the same answer as every other question is.

"because i asked nicely," the sarcasm weighs on him the same way she weighs on his patience. the door is held open but isra stops short. he frowns, staring at her.

he lets the question stick, silent, before answering with a frown. "i already have, idiot."

She gives him a perplexed look. "You don't act like it." the insult rolls right off her, more focused on what he's saying that feels so contrary to everything else up until now. That's been part of the problem up til now though, he keeps surprising her and she hasn't decided exactly how she feels about it yet.

Isra takes a step closer in, just enough for him to be able to close the door behind her. "Most of the time you act like you've got a problem with me, or it that just the attitude?" If he's learned to read her well enough he'll see the change her face, like a guard drops just the slightest bit. Like she's warming up to him a little.

"what? have you not seen me around others enough?"

even though she's close enough, fernando doesn't close the door behind her. he waits until he feels the movement of two small creatures pass underneath. only after they're both inside, still extensions of his shadows, gradually materializing into view as the lighting shifts, does he let the door close.

"you should know by now i don't play nice."

there's a single person at the front desk but otherwise the lobby is empty. the decor reeks of a modern upper class but anyone who can afford residency is much too busy to enjoy the amenities. fernando gives a minor wave to the front desk clerk as he heads for the elevator.

She takes a moment to think about how much she had really been there when he was talking with others. At the end of the day it didnt matter because that didnt mean his behaviors lined up with her expectations which was likely part of the problem. Isra didnt think about things that way.

"I dont compare myself to others." thats why it never donned on her to look at it that way.

She gives a nod of acknowledgement to the individual in the lobby as she follows him to the elevator. "I know you don't, thats why I dont either. Kind of" she was usually being nicer than she could be.

"well aren't you special." he's more teasing then anything. by the time the elevator reaches them he's starting to feel better, even if none of his actions reflect it. the door opens and he steps inside, consciously waiting for her to follow, mostly expecting it by now. when she does, he hits the button for the seventh floor.

"what, you're parroting me?" he laughs at the thought. the bell dings and they reach the seventh floor. fernando is slow to move but does so to lead the way to his unit.
