Better Options (Open-ish!)

[Goblin]

"Miss Porter's School for Girls." He smirked. "It's this classy boarding school--Tara goes there, and her sisters went there before her. Rumor says that about twenty years ago, there was this girl, Olivia Whittaker, who got in trouble with the headmistress. No one seems to agree on just what she got in trouble for, but it must've been a real scandal, 'cause the whole school turned against her, and her parents disowned her. So she dowsed herself in oil, lit herself on fire, and jumped out of a tower window." Which he considered seriously over the top, but that was the story.

"Anyway, she's still supposed to haunt the tower dorm. I figured we could just slip in and take a look around," he said innocently.

[Script]

Script got a chill over the story, shivering a little, leaning against him. "Geez, intense. How are we gonna sneak in?" She looked up and smirked at him. "Though something tells me it won't be your first time."

[Goblin]

"Very carefully," he answered, "because I've never done this without Clara, and she's by far the sneakier one. Usually, I make the plans and she does the leg work. But I'm pretty sure we can manage it--as long as the big willow tree's still there."

[Script]

Script smirked at him. "You're gonna make me climb a tree? Hope you're prepared to drag my big butt up there." She scrunched her nose at him, but laughed, flashing him a grin. Truth be told, she was a little nevous about the whole breaking and entering thing, but she was equally giddy about it. She'd never really done anything bad in her life. Maybe now was the time, and what it came down to was that she trusted Goblin.

[Goblin]

"Oh, don't worry. It'll get worse from there on out," he said a bit evilly, though he was smiling. Hey, she'd been very persistent in her desire to hang out with him. And when you hung out with Goblin and he wasn't quietly freaking out over everything, this was what you got: trouble.

((Going to bed soon if I can drag myself away...so if I don't post again, 'night! <3))

[Script]

She laughed and squeezed his hand again. "Fair enough." She smiled up at him, perhaps a littler more dreamily than she had intended. She was having fun, and no amount of trouble they might get into would make her regret spending time with him.

((Haha, no problem, night!))

"Oh come on, you only dance to the wild crazy songs?" He asked her and then like a gentleman he gently let one hand wrap around her waist and then clasped his hand in hers. He smiled at her. "My ma taught me how to do this when I was a bout six, so I might be a little rusty."

[Kathryn]

"Now, how can you say that? You've just met me," teased Kathryn as she tapped her index finger on his chin.

[Moonshine]

Moonshine grinned at her, parroting her action by tapping his finger lightly to the tip of her nose. "I'm a fast learner, Sugar."

[Kathryn]

Kathryn chuckled softly, leaning in the slightest bit, as if to kiss him, but pulling away before just before her lips brushed his.

She quickly grabbed her drink and took another sip.

[Moonshine]

A smirk played at Moonshine's lips, amused. She was better at this game than he thought. He polished off the rest of his beer before sending her a smile, all innocence. "Ready for Round Three, Sugar?"

[Kathryn]

"No, I... I really shouldn't," Kathryn replied, shaking her head. She was already feeling a bit too tipsy; another drink would send her over the edge.

"But you can, of course."

[Moonshine]

"Ya sure, Sugar? A man hates to drink alone." He sent her a winning smile. He ordered another drink -- for both of them. "Ya don't gotta drink it. It's for just in case ya change yer mind." He had no intention of getting her sloppy drunk, of course, he wasn't as big a cad as people assumed. But a girl wound up as tight as her deserved to loosen up from time to time.

[Kathryn]

"If you're trying to get me drunk enough to kiss you, you can stop now," Kathryn said as quietly as she could. Given the noise in the hall, her voice was only a bit below its regular decibal.

[Moonshine]

Moonshine put his hands up in friendly defense. "Whoa, now, Sugar. I ain't tryin' ta take advantage or nothin'." He lifted his shoulder in a shrug, but then looked down to meet her eyes. "Just seemed like you could use a bit of fun and relaxation, is all. I apologize if I was outta line." He took hold of her hand, brushing his lips across her knuckles.
