What was I thinking? [Felicity]

[symkarian_princess]

After returning from the solo mission that had gone upside down thanks to HYDRA, Nika had gone to a medical professional to check how bad her wounds were stitched. She had all the confidence in Felicity while in the plane, but she wanted a professional opinion about possible scarring. She was sure some of the amazed invectives while examining her wounds would be useful later.

Since then she had kept herself busy until the day rolled around for getting coffee with Felicity. The Symkarian wasn't sure how this would go or if she should be even doing it. She could almost hear her mother's lecture moving along to the cadence of the elder Sable's pacing. Nika was sure there was no one else on the planet as good at frustrating her mother like herself.

Opting not to go to coffee in a tactical corset, Nika rummaged through her closet to find something suitable. It took the third outfit choice for her to realize she was distracted. She tried to focus on one color with some accents. And no animal prints. Why did she have tiger-striped pants?

She smoothed down her tight pencil skirt outside of the coffee shop. Then she adjusted her fitted jacket. It was possibly a tad too dressy for a casual coffee... date, but it made Nika feel better. Particularly as the jacket was tailored to hide the weapons she had hidden about her torso. She took a breath and pushed the door open.

Comments

"Woman can still have hard nights. Proper application of hard surfaces. So, you're gentle at night?" It was a gentle tease as she pulled her hand back. She doubted that the issue was gone, but Felicity would have to be the one to signal if she wanted to talk further.

As it was Nika quirked an eyebrow as she picked up her cup to take a sip.

"God no," Felicity said softly. "I'm an absolute wildcat beneath the sheets, meow."

Okay, so that was absolutely the most obvious answer she could have given.

But she couldn't help it, at all.

She tried hard to not snort her cafe cortado out of her nose. But it was a very close thing.

Nika momentarily put the back of her hand under her nose to make sure nothing dripped out.

"That's what I thought," she commented as her hand fell away from her face. She picked up the cookie she had nibbled not long ago and took a proper bite out of it.

Felicity grinned. Widely. "Wow, look at you, able to hold back a reaction to that. Have to say, you have a hell of a poker face. I wonder how long it lasts while you're being, you know, poked." She chuckled and took another bite of her olive oil cake. "Seriously, though. The poker face. Genetic trait of all Silver Sablings?"

[symkarian_princess]

Nika also didn't spray bits of cookie on Felicity. She was calling that a good thing, too. She swallowed her mouthful and licked the crumbs off her lips.

"Poker face usually helps in business dealings, not sex. I find reacting during sex helps the other person find all the right spots."

Felicity gulped down that bite of cake and blinked. "I did not expect you to go there," she admitted after a long moment. "I have to admit, I'm all kinds of impressed. Maybe there's hope for you yet, Nika."
