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.

"You couldn't wait ten minutes?" She gaped at his audacity.

"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."

"Argh!" she groaned and grabbed the soap. Ten minutes for a shower was all she wanted.

"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.

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.

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.

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

"What do you mean before your morning coffee?" she asked with a smirk on her face. "I thought that was all of the time."

Irina laughed. "It's okay. I'm not exactly pleasant in the morning either."

"I didn't notice, you were too busy being wet, naked and hot for me to give a damn. You sure the bagel is all you want? I got plenty of hot food for two."

There was the slightest traces of pink in her cheeks. "A bagel is fine. Thank you for going out to get breakfast."

He can't help but grin. "No problem."

"So what would you like to do today?" she asked carefully.

"I'm guessing the hesitance behind asking the question is because you expect me to say 'you'. But since its still early in the morning, and I'm still working on my coffee and breakfast, and don't want you getting all nervous, lemme set something straight between us. Last night was last night. It happened, it was awesome. I don't expect it will ever happen again. I'm not looking for a girlfriend or anything steady. You ever get worked up and need a fuckbuddy, look me up, but if last night was it, that's cool too."

He shovels a couple more bites of eggs into his mouth, finishing the mouthful before continuing.

"Today, you got files I need to read, and we had our pleasure, time for some business. If you don't object too hard though, I wouldn't mind some company for dinner. If its my treat, it'll be my Christmas traditional steak an' apple pie at the first greasy spoon I come to boasting the best in the state of either. Otherwise, your choice."

"I wouldn't have things any other way," she said. "I am not looking for a relationship or anything resembling one. I do not mind a physical thing, but I want nothing more."

She nodded. "Dinner would be nice. I have some things I need to do today, but would like to have dinner with you."

"Good, then we understand each other. Its just a physical thing, if you need or want it, its there. You find something more serious, I back off, no worries. And sounds good for dinner. Grab me those files and I'll read today, we can meet back up for dinner."

Irina nodded. "We understand each other. The files are on my laptop. Feel free to use it, but if you download porn, we will have it out."

"See, now you're getting the hang of the humor thing, I knew you could be taught. Don't worry, government computer, secrets, no viruses. I think you're safe. Besides, I still have all the Russian porn I'll ever need." he replies with a wink.

She just gave him A Look before standing up and grabbing her coffee and bagel. "I'll be back later."

"No problem, good luck." he adds, working on finishing his breakfast before he gets down to studying.
