Thread: A Challenger Approaches.... {Greysmith x FemShep}

While watching the bartender trying to make her drink in a way he'll think would impress her with tricks, but honestly didn't impress Emilee at all. She didn't want to seem rude so she just watched with a almost uninterested face still she tried to look interested at least. Eventually the bartender finished making her martini and gave it to her telling her it was on the house. Of course she thanked the bartender, but after taking a drink of her martini, a bright flash and a gathering crowd caught her attention. When she looked over, Emilee could tell it was a interview crew, but couldn't tell who it was they were bothering while they tried to enjoy the party. She could hear a few words from the interviewer, but not full sentences. Eventually she just gave up trying to figure it out and enjoyed the rest of her martini. But it wasn't long before on of the people in the crowd spotted her when he looked around a little. Of course seeing the new champ while interviewing the old one was going to cause the ratings to rise just by having them in the same camera shot. For a moment Emilee didn't even notice that the crowd spotted her or that Greyson was staring at her surprising beauty in awe. It was only until the blonde woman came over and asked if she could interview her with the former champ. Emilee didn't want anything to do with this kind of attention, but she had to make a good first impression to everyone and besides how hard could answering a few questions with Greyson be? So, she agreed to do it. Then as Emilee followed the blonde woman, she was Greyson. She knew to expect him since she was just asked to answer a few questions with him, but seeing him like this was different. He looked far more handsome then she remembered at the competition. Maybe it was because she was so focused on the competition itself she didn't completely notice how handsome he was especially in such a nice suit. His suit being black with the exception of the light green tie reminded her of an Xbox and he just looked so great. Emilee could feel her cheeks lightly blush as the blonde lead her to stand next to him, but she tired not to look so nervous despite her heart started pounding in her chest. At first everything seemed okay a few simple questions with simple answers. Yet when Greyson answered one, Emilee thought something was wrong since he was taking a few seconds to complete his answer. At first she was looking at the blonde woman and the camera at occasion already nervous as it is, but she decided to look at him to see if he was okay. Then she saw his eyes meeting hers Emilee quickly looked away even more nervous after seeing him looking at her. Her cheeks grew warmer with blush and for a moment she could have sworn she saw him blushing too, but it couldn't be right? It only got worse when the interviewer brought up shippers. Emilee froze like Greyson did in utter bewilderment. There couldn't be people that couldn't really ship them as a couple just by seeing them standing next to each other right? What's worse was that now this woman put the idea in her head that people thought they were dating and having sex with each other. They just met and already people are going to think about all this BS between them!? They might even go as far as to write dirty fanfictions about them!? This only made Emilee blush brighter. Then suddenly the spotlight was on her, but the first question was one she could answer. She tried not to sound nervous, but it was clear she wasn't comfortable. It was a challenge trying to beat Greyson. Honestly I didn't even believe I would make it to the final four, but still it was a honor fighting against the champ I once rooted for in the crowds. Besides maybe we could even have a rematch in one of the other torments. Either way it was fun and exciting and really that's the spirit of the tournament. Once the second question hit her, Emilee's cheeks grew a deep red and put her hands behind her back trying to keep herself from loosing her composure. Well....I...uh...well if he wants one that's fine...but I won't force him to....honestly I barely even know him so.... She was so nervous and the question hit her so hard Emilee didn't know how to answer without sounding rude or strengthening the fans to believe they were a couple.
