[nospaces] [attr="class","petalbase"] [attr="class","star1"] [attr="class","circleoutline1"] [attr="class","starimg"] [attr="class","star2"] Maybe, just maybe, he could swing this. Emerson wasn’t exactly used to the practice of picking someone up. Usually it was the other way around, given the fact that he lacked boldness in most in-person social interactions, no matter what sort. But he’d been doing better recently. Even if only a little. So why shouldn’t he be able to manage now? As long as this guy didn’t laugh him out of the room for trying. He seemed to enjoy Em’s attentiveness, though. Pretty red. It burned in the back of his mind, pleasant and warm like a cinnamon burn.[break][break] Emerson’s head tilted. “Yeah? ‘Course I’m sure. You like someone, you buy them a drink.” He paused, brows furrowing together. “Right? That’s how that goes?” When he thought about it, he wasn’t usually the one buying drinks for others so maybe there was more social structure to it than he realized. Sure, he sometimes bought drinks for friends. But that was distinctly different. Unspokenly so. Or at least that’s what he had thought.[break][break] His self-inflicted worry faded to the background, though, at Sen’s response. All too quickly, Em lit up—a degree of confidence returning at the prospect of a shared interest he was actually capable of talking about without any sort of nervous behavior. “Really? No way! What’re the odds, really?”[break][break] Arms folding to rest against the bar too, Em leaned sideways toward, a conspiratorial smile pulling across his mouth as he looked up at the other. “Okay, okay see—what you should say instead is right now, you’re doing freelance.” His nose wrinkled as his smile stretched into a grin. “Saves some extra questioning.” It’d helped him out before. Both when he’d been unemployed, or when he’d been focusing on projects that weren’t exactly smiled upon as upstanding.[break][break] But Em wasn’t about to add that bit. He took another long swig from his glass, not thinking too hard about the fact that he hadn’t leaned away yet. Drinking until that fizzy feeling lit up his brain again. That was the point after all, wasn’t it? At least, it was if he picked up the vibe that Em put down anyway.
