[color=90F1FF]"Now that would be something I'd pay extra to see."[/color] It was no mistake he passed over her question, though the smile did diminish her the sarcasm of her words. He then hummed stroking his short, trimmed beard in thought. [color=90F1FF]"One-eyed Dark Angel is kind of a badass name..."[/color] Luther muttered just loud enough she would be able to pick it up with her enhanced hearing.

Luther suppressed a chuckle as Tessa fell into him again after just letting go of him. It was as if Fate itself was endorsing his new resolve. That brief amusement shifted into a growing anxiety within him that was eagerly replacing the void left by his old fears. The new conflict between joy and hesitation furthered when he saw the grin on her tempting lips.

He made no move to pull away or otherwise separate from Tessa. Luther wanted to be a source of comfort for her, whatever happened between them. Luther leaned further into her grasp on her arm, allowing Tessa to press more into him to show his acceptance of their position when before he wouldn't react at all. [color=90F1FF]"Nothing wrong with that. If something DOES happen though, I got your back."[/color] Luther gave her a playful wink.

That moment their eyes connected felt like a confirmation the dynamic between them shifted. The blush that showed up her cheeks was cute and came in an amusing contrast to her fierce look. Luther wasn't spared as he straightened himself quickly after Tessa took the seat next to him, taking a the last sip of his citrus-infused beer to cover his awkward movement. Tessa's comment after making her order caused the drink to enter the wrong pipe and he made a couple coughs.

"[color=90F1FF]"Watch it there, Patches, or else you'll jinx it."[/color] Luther swiped the back of his hand across his lips, glancing over at her with a challenging glare with a small smile. Despite the playful mood between them, He did NOT in fact forget that Dom was somewhere behind them in the crowd. So far he didn't feel the hairs on his neck stand up so he figured their interactions had gone unnoticed for now.
