This...isn't good.

[beat_thebadguys]

[he nods reluctantly and there's a long pause before he looks at her]

We could....sit.

[feltalone]

[nods]

Yeah.

[sits carefully]

I'm Lana.

[beat_thebadguys]

[he sits beside her, leaning against the back wall of the elevator]

Angel.

[and he braces himself for whatever comment she may make about that name]

[feltalone]

Angel? [smiles a bit] Are you sure that's not a nickname? It's a little too fitting to be real.

[beat_thebadguys]

Fitting?

[feltalone]

I've always imagined an angel would be rather chivalrous.

[beat_thebadguys]

I'm... [a slight laugh] I'm not an angel.

[feltalone]

You haven't tried to take advantage of me. In this city, I'd say that qualifies as angelic.

[beat_thebadguys]

Well.....we are in an elevator.

[uncertain face is....uncertain.]

[feltalone]

[chuckles softly to herself, because...wow]

So, you would if we weren't?

[she's just teasing]

[beat_thebadguys]

..... [awkward. Not saying he wouldn't, but...oh man, how to answer this right?]

I-I don't know. If you were wiling and we knew each other better...

[oh the awkward. Stop him.]

[feltalone]

[more chuckling. so adorable]

Like I said, it suits you.

[beat_thebadguys]

Can we talk about something else now? Something....less embarrassing?

[feltalone]

[nods] Okay. How long have you lived here?

[beat_thebadguys]

A few years now. I move around a lot.

What about you?
