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.

	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)

	"I'll make coffee, you go get breakfast," she grumbled and put the pillow over her head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

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

	"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)

	After last night, by now, he'd hope she wasn't too worried about that at this point. He shifts about, locating his clothes bit by bit, in between only slightly surrepticious admiring glances. His stuff is pretty well scattered. "Don't suppose you remember where you threw my shirt?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2009-12-23 10:36 pm UTC (link)
	"The living room," she said as she pulled her shirt on. She changed her mind, took it off. "Going to grab a shower." She headed toward the bathroom. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He nods, then sniffs his armpit. Yeah, last night is definitely clinging. "That's... a really good idea before I go anywhere, actually." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She pretended not to hear him and went into the bathroom. Locking the door behind her. Or so she thought. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	vicious_cycle 2009-12-23 10:45 pm UTC (link)
	He's still got the locks fixed. It only takes a moment to re-unlock the door before he follows her into the shower. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2009-12-23 11:01 pm UTC (link)
	She turned a little too quickly and started to slip. "Wha...." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He catches her. Perhaps not ideal, or maybe perfectly ideal, given how they end up after the catch. "Careful, slippery floor. Just the local back-scrubbing service." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2009-12-23 11:06 pm UTC (link)
	"What the hell are you doing in here?" she asked. Needless to say she wasn't expecting him in here. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	vicious_cycle 2009-12-23 11:11 pm UTC (link)
	"Relax, I'm not assuming anything now that we're sober. I just know that I smell like I was a guest star at the sexual olympics with a vodka chaser, so before I go get your bagel with cream cheese, I need to clean up and work the kinks out of my neck. Not that the scenery is bad either, or I mind you falling on me, but I'll watch my hands if you prefer." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You couldn't wait ten minutes?" She gaped at his audacity. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Frankly, no. I don't know about you, but I'm starving, with a demon kicking my brain. Right now, I just want to be able to move my neck and shoulders, smell like something human, and get some coffee and hot food into me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2009-12-23 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	"Argh!" she groaned and grabbed the soap. Ten minutes for a shower was all she wanted. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	vicious_cycle 2009-12-23 11:23 pm UTC (link)
	"Good morning to you too." he mutters, scrubbing off quickly, not bothering to do more than rinse last night off before he's out of the shower and searching for his elusive shirt again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2009-12-23 11:33 pm UTC (link)
	She smiled. Time alone in hot water. She ducked under the spray and closed her eyes. She could stay in here all day, but coffee and food called. She showered and stepped out. Damn. The towels were still missing. Dripping wet she walked to the bedroom to get dressed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Getting on the road to go get breakfast was an experience. After all the energy and passion and alcohol, the demon wanted /out/.
Nicholas fought him back over and over as he rode, but it was a struggle. He knew the Rider couldn't be seen, not yet, but it was a near thing.

About the time she's dressed and out, he's just getting back with bagels with cream cheese for her and pancakes, sausage and eggs for him.

	Fresh coffee was made by the time Nicholas returned and Irina was sitting at the table drinking a cup when he arrived. She had been pondering the previous night's events and this morning's events. She was deep in thought when he walked in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He sets her breakfast down and gets himself some coffee. "Hey, sorry about this morning. I'm a jackass before my morning coffee." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2009-12-24 04:54 am UTC (link)
	"What do you mean before your morning coffee?" she asked with a smirk on her face. "I thought that was all of the time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
