For Jemma

[hot_water]

[OOC: From here.]

Tahno's door leads back to his apartment, which is as large and lushly decorated as his rooms in the bar. He has a thing for plants, apparently, as there's a touch of greenery in each room, as well as sources of water. Miniature fountains burble in the common rooms and at the end of the hall.

"Well, here we are," Tahno drawls, gesturing around the rooms. "But we should really head to Narook's Noodlery. That's where the party starts."

"Well that's just tragic. She'd practically be her own control group." Jemma huffs, perpetually frustrated that people aren't as interested in sorting out the world as she is.

Tahno flicks his fingers out and freezes his whiskey into a cane to suck on. "Yeah, it's a cryin' shame," he drawls, shaking his head. "You'll just have to settle for me."

"No one 'settles' for you, Tahno," Shaozu says, and then looks back to his noodles.

Tahno claps him on the shoulder. "Damn right, and don't let me forget it."

"Oh, I wouldn't call it settling." She is proud that her blush isn't actually bright enough to compete with the candles.

Tahno gives her a measured look and a friendly smirk. He reaches out and taps her nose. "Good," he purrs, and Ming and Shaozu and their fangirls might as well not be in the room, the way his focus narrows to include her, and just her.

The moment breaks, and he stands up from the table. "Ya ready to blow this joint?" he asks Jemma, and then winks at the other members of the Wolfbats. "Hold down the fort for me, mmkay?"

So, yeah. She was proud of controlling her blush. That pretty much got obliterated when he focused like that.

Whew.

"What? Um." She shakes her head to clear the cobwebs. "Yes, that does sound... yes. It really was lovely to meet you all."

[hot_water]

"It was nice meeting you, too," Ming says, and Shaozu nods.

"See ya, guys," Tahno drawls, offering his arm to Jemma.

She takes his offered arm, offering the rest of the Wolfbats and their fans a somewhat flustered smile.

She does wonder if it's like this for fans of movie stars.
