Thread: Not So Bad (Miss Tris x Shadows)

With this line of work, one tended to see a lot of unique types along the way. This held true even for somebody that was still in the early stages of what would be a hopefully satisfying superhero career such as Jonathon. As such, hed felt himself ready to fully roll with whatever types he may have come across st the academy and among his teammates. But much of that went flying right out the window as he watched Lilith rise out of her chair to address Victor. Part of that was due to her unique appearance, but none of those demonic looking additions or her crimson complexion were a detracting factor for Jonathon. If anything, it helped to accentuate what else she had going for her, both in his jaw droppingly built she was, along with her rather... limited, choice in clothing. When she approached, it took everything within his very being to maintain eye contact, which just caused him to nearly become lost in her dark red gaze. There was also her shoulder length wavy black hair, which seemed a fitting match for her horns, while at the same time adding further character to her features, as if she needed it. N-No worries, I didnt take any of it personal... He replied to her initial greeting after stumbling for a second to find his voice. Similarly, it took a second for him to process she was offering her hand, but he accepted after a moments delay all the same. Its a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Lilith. And Im fine with Dusk, though you can also call me Jonathon if youd prefer. The lightly tanned male replied with a smile, as he immediately took notice of how warm she was to the touch. Managing to bite his tongue from making a is it hot in here or is it just you crack, Dusk did end up holding her hand for a little longer then was perhaps needdd, as he heard out her next question. Do you play? Anything you want... Hed let slip at a little over a whisper, before quickly catching himself and finally letting go of her hand with some embarrassment while amending, I mean, I dabble in a few different genres. Platformers, roleplaying, arcade style racers, the occasional fighter. Glancing over at the monitors to see a little more of what they were playing, Dusk gave an acknowledging nod in recognition of the familiar screens as he continued, Ive done my share of online dungeon raids and such over the years. But never really stuck with any guilds or even smaller groups long enough and had to frequently start new accounts. My dad was always paranoid about who I was talking with online. For reasons that didnt become fully clear to me until, you know, finding out about his line of work and all. His eyes drifted toward the other chair, which only then caused Jonathon to actually realize that hed not been acknowledging the other person they had come to meet. However, even as he realized this oversight on his part, the new member found that he was somehow unable to actually focus in on the source of that other voice. Oh, sorry, I didnt mean to ignore you. Dusk attempted to apologize for his own rudeness, though showed some confusion in his voice and on his features as he seemed to struggle in fully processing her presence despite not currently trying to keep his tongue in his mouth while looking at Lilith.
