A challenge is a challenge
So a bet was laid before him, he'd have to catch her when she had no clothes. He can't help but take her seriously. Rigging the locks to the bathroom was no big deal. She's also had some long days, and he's plenty quiet, so he's pretty sure making off with every item of clothing, the towels - pretty much every scrap of cloth but the washcloth she was using for her shower went unnoticed.
Ok, so sure, he could have peeked, but that isn't half as fun as listening to her reaction.
Everything is laid out neatly on her bed, her blades haven't been disturbed, and so on, and sure, she's a teleporter, but he's pretty sure she's not going to go anywhere that way if its not an emergency and she's unarmed.

He settles in a bit down the hall, sipping at a cup of coffee.

Irina finished her shower and reached for a towel. When her hand didn't come in contact with one, she opened the shower curtain a bit to look. They were gone along with her clothes. Oh he was good. She hadn't even heard him come into the bathroom.

Though honestly? She should have expected something like this.

But he wasn't as smart as he thought he was. No way was he going to see her naked this easily.

She teleported into her bedroom and started getting dressed. Quickly because she suspected he'd barge in any second.

	She's definitely right, he'd need to be far more clever than that. And actually, she has plenty of time to get dressed before there's a polite knock on her door. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Enter," she said as she tucked a knife into a boot. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He wanders in, "Damn, and here I figured you wouldn't go teleporting about through your dimension portals naked and unarmed. I'm going to have to keep trying, huh?" he asks, heading for the side of her room and giving her a respectful, if defeated nod. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It was a nice try," she admitted. "Next time you will have to try a little harder." She was amused. Very amused. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He nods, tossing her towel to her and picking up the video camera under it. "No problem. We'll go contemplate new ideas." he agrees pleasantly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She blinked and then laughed. "Nicely played, Nicholas. Very nicely played." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He grins and shrugs. "Hey, I take challenges seriously, and I hate to lose." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then I must watch what I challenge you to. I hate to lose as well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Irina smiled. "Are you scared that you may have to back your words with action?" Flirting was always fun. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Me, no. I'm always ready for the next new thing." he replies, a touch contemplative as he rings the tip of a finger in flickering flame. "A little worried I'll burn someone who likes to live dangerously, maybe." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nothing worth doing is without risk," she said with a grin. Another shot of vodka and then she finished off the last of her slice. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	vicious_cycle 2009-12-23 10:43 am UTC (link)
	He takes the bottle back and takes another shot. "So are you hitting on me now, or trying to convince me to hit on you now?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2009-12-23 10:45 am UTC (link)
	"Maybe a little of both?" She chuckled and grabbed another slice of pizza. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	vicious_cycle 2009-12-23 10:46 am UTC (link)
	"Oh good, and here I thought I was losing track." he replies pleasantly, finishing the last of the first pizza and opening the other box after some reshuffling. "So what happens if I take you up on it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Already did. I really got to admire your workout program by the way, toned everywhere. And was I seeing things, or despite working in Russia, do you have a distinct lack of tan lines?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	vicious_cycle 2009-12-23 09:56 pm UTC (link)
	Phew, that was a relief, at least. Best that a Russian government agent doesn't wake up naked and tied to the bed. There's a lot of things that could be, and most of them aren't good. "Mmmrmph is right." he agrees, massaging his temples. "What do I have to bribe you with to get coffee and breakfast?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2009-12-23 10:13 pm UTC (link)
	"I'll make coffee, you go get breakfast," she grumbled and put the pillow over her head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nngg, deal. McDonalds ok? I think they're still serving breakfast." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nyet," she grumbled. "Bagel with cream cheese." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	vicious_cycle 2009-12-23 10:21 pm UTC (link)
	"Bagel with cream cheese I can do. I was just hoping you hadn't assumed I could cook worth a damn." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2009-12-23 10:23 pm UTC (link)
	"Good," she said as she removed the pillow from her face. She looked at him and then climbed out of bed. Not caring she was stark naked and he saw her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
