{From here}

Jay takes Emcee's hand and leads him deeper into the forest. Sure-footed in the darkness, Jay leads him to the glade where he trains. It's private, comfortable and the grass is soft. He sheds his jacket and pulls Emcee close, kissing him slow and deep.

"As long as I don't scare you?" Jay questions softly, aware of the parts of himself he doesn't show here.

"He won't. It'll be a few days before he tries anything like that again." He offers Emcee his hand, both affectionately and to guide him through the dark woods.

"Scare me?"

He slides his free hand into his and squeezes warmly.

"Darling, if by that you mean excite me, then perhaps so, but I have come across people in my life who were far more frightening than you, at home and here, so please don't worry yourself about it."

Jay stops and kisses Emcee softly, cupping his cheek. "I'm glad. I haven't lead a good life but I don't want that hurt the people I care about."

And he returns the kiss.

And even though the phrase people I care about makes his eyelids flicker, he knows Jay always means well.

"You won't hurt me, darling," he reassures him. "I know you won't."

"No, I won't." He promises solemnly and takes Emcee's hand again, leading him till they're back in the warm light of the bar porch.

The porch lights are like a beacon in the strange wilderness that is Milliways, at least, the parts of it that are still unfamiliar to the Emcee. A whole new part of it has been opened up to him tonight. And although it might not be one to return to without trusted accompaniment, at least now he knows that it exists.

At the back door, he slips his hand from Jay's and reaches up to touch his face.

"Thank you, Jay, darling. I had a marvelous evening," he says in earnest. "I think I may stay out here for a little while longer, though. I have such a craving for a cigarette right now," he adds with a light chuckle.

Jay nods and takes Emcee's hand, kissing it softly. "Thank you. I'll see you around, hey?"

He dislikes going to be alone like this but he understands Emcee's need for solitude too. "Until next time." He opens the door to the bar and slips inside, heading for his room.


{ooc: Thank you! that was lovely. Would you care to post it?}

[i_am_your_host]

"Of course, darling."

As Jay leaves, there is a split second where the Emcee considers following him. But the door closes, and the thought dissipates. Alone again, he ambles over to the porch railing, nimbly perches upon it, and lights up a cigarette.

Ending the night as he began it.



[OOC: Thank you <3 I can certainly post it.]
