[Leia was well aware that Felix was trying his very hardest to make a good impression on her. She was also well aware that he was trying to "get into her pants", as the people of Earth put it. She'd had her fair share of admirers on Alderaan and even within the Rebel Alliance, but she'd given none of them the time of day - save one Han Solo, and that had taken a small eternity. (And Luke before him, but that was another story altogether, and one best forgotten.)]
[When Felix had offered to take her out for coffee, Leia wondered if she should've said no, not wanting to give him the wrong idea - but she had to admit that he was good company, and that a cup of coffee or two were more than welcome in Hell. Thus, she'd said yes to his invitation, which was why she was currently seated at Has Beans, waiting for the mercenary to arrive.]
[Leia was a tough nut to crack, and Felix rather enjoyed that about her. Women often fell too easily for his charm and there was a certain lack of challenge in wooing them. But with Leia, it wasn't nearly that easy and he got a kick out of it.
So just because she agree for coffee didn't mean she was capitulating so easily and he was well aware that it would take a lot more than coffee to seduce her into his bed. Either way, he was enjoying the chase and for a Heaven transfer, she was enjoyable company. Leia lacked the haughty, superior to the rest of you filthy demons air so many of her compatriots espoused. She'd come to Hell to 'save' people and while her goals were borderline laughable to Felix, she was enjoyable enough company.
He'd been teasing her since they'd first met about only revealing his face to her on the 'fifth date' but considering Felix had laconically called most of their meetings 'dates' then this technically counted, right?
Enough so that he'd forgone his armor in favor of approaching her today in plainclothes instead of that familiar battle-scared armor. Felix had opted for a dress shirt with a tie and a simple pair of slacks which were perfectly acceptable 'date' clothes without being totally over the top. The dark-haired man who approached Leia's table was handsome enough even with the light scaring and uncanny looking feline eyes.] Leia?
[Even without the vocal modulators built into his helmet, the voice was recognizable all the same.]
[Her senses may not have been as honed as Luke's when it came to the use of the Force, but she recognized Felix's distinct signature when he entered the coffee shop. Thus, it was no surprise when he came up to her.]
Yes, I'm Leia. It's not me who's suddenly showing my face.
[She gave him a wry smile, gesturing to the empty seat in front of her. His appearance didn't bother her one bit - after all, she'd seen worse in war and was well aware that he'd fought his own share.]
[It also amused her that he'd claimed this as their "fifth date" when she had no idea when the first four had taken place.]
[They had nothing like the Force where he was from and while he'd knew Kylo in passing, they'd never exactly talked about it. He would have been weirded out at the least to think she could 'spot' him entering a room.]
Well, it's a little hard to drink coffee through a helmet. Besides, this practically counts as the fifth date.
[He said with a broad smile before moving to claim the chair opposite her.] Also, I could have been any devastating handsome lech approaching you so I figured it only fair to alert you to my presence.
[She crossed her arms in front of her chest and gave him a dry look.] Did our first meeting with Fluffernutter count as one? Because I'm fairly sure that wasn't planned.
Your gallantry leaves me speechless. Thank you. [She gave him a gracious nod of her head, but her eyes danced with wicked humor. She knew that he knew she could handle herself - if any said lech tried to get too comfortable and there were no other options available to her, she would have bashed him over the head with her chair. Simple as.]
[Besides, she wasn't disillusioned - for all that he disavowed persons of shady origins, she was well aware that he was in Hell for a reason. She wanted to know what it was to see if he'd turned over a new leaf or was even repentant at the least. She hoped so, because he could use that silver tongue to help others.]
That seems kinda counter-intuitive, doesn't it? An easy way to remove the thing supposedly protecting this gorgeous head of mine? The suit is supposed to be rated for space and hard-vacuum, so there's not a lot of easy access anywhere.
[Her question drew an amused sound from the demon and the look he cast across the table at her was filled with mischief.] what, have you never heard of spontaneous dates? I'd say meeting you is the best thing that could have come out of the Fluffernutter debacle.
[He was all too aware that Leia was more than capable of taking care of business. She'd proven that the first time they'd met when she'd thrown herself fearlessly into danger facing off against an enraged Hellcat without the benefit of any kind of armor or protection. But if she were hoping for Felix to turn over a new leaf, they would be building snowmen in Hell before that happened so to speak.]
[Leia had to let out a laugh. His cockiness reminded her of a certain scoundrel, who, when presented with a slew of insults, was most affronted when she called him scruffy.]
The face might be a perk, but most important to me are the other components of the head. Mainly its contents.
[She pointed a finger to her temple to illustrate.]
I thought dates were planned - otherwise they didn't count as dates because we weren't able to put our best foot forward and be romantic. [The last word was said with a wrinkle of her nose. Suitors on Alderaan had tried their best to woo her, but she just didn't have time for any of that nonsense.]
Anyway, come on - I need my caffeine fix. [Leia stood, making her way to the counter.]
I like to think I'm smarter than the average bear. Sure, I might not have fancy manners but I'm hardly a brute. And certainly a cut above the average demon around here.
[His tone was arch but there was a smile in his tone. If Leia was expecting humbleness though, she was going to be sorely disappointed. He might not sound boastful but Felix was definitely well aware of his, ahem, many attributes.]
Hmmmn, I'm going to have to disagree there. Sometimes, the best dates are spontaneous and unexpected. And you don't strike me as the type of woman who wants grandiose romantic gestures. But hey, if I'm wrong, feel free to correct me and I'll start trotting out my really good material.
[Felix teased with a smile before moving to help clear her path a little bit. Angels weren't always welcome in Little Hades and even with his slender build, he still had almost a foot on her so he had a slightly improved vantage point.] Whatever m'lady wishes, it's my treat.
[Oh, he could keep up this insufferable act for a while and judging by the twinkle in his eyes, he just might.]
