[Oh. Well. That's certainly painting this discussion in more black-and-white terms. Do they want to be friends, or something more? It's not something Penny had actually thought about. Ever, really. About any of her friends. She was always so excited just to have people around her that like her for who she is. Now it seems like Larxene is maybe thinking about pushing beyond that?

It's an almost scary thought, venturing into unknown territory like that. Then again, what has coming to Deerington been but an exercise in pushing out of one's comfort zone. Still, it seemed like most of her friends were in some kind of relationship or another. Yang and Blake had their special bond, Ruby has started dating Varian...

She reaches out to take Larxene's hand out of instinct. It felt right being this close to someone else, even if her hands still tingle with electricity from their first shock.

She would need to come up with a way to avoid things like that in the future.]

This has not been what I expected this conversation to be when I first came here today.

[Now Larxene knows what Penny is, and Penny, Larxene. Two people that weren't quite human, trying to find their way in the world together. It is an interesting dynamic that she had never had the opportunity to explore before. No one else in her world is really like her. Arguably, no one in this world is either, but... Larxene may be the closest there is.]

Okay. [She nods, her usual warm smile creeping across her lips once more.] I accept your proposal. I will be your girlfriend.

[That was so analytically intact that it made her laugh a little while she took her hand and breathed in softly, reaching up with her other hand to brush at Penny's face with an affection she'd seen someone use for a girlfriend before. leaning in, she tried to give her a little peck on the cheek and sighed softy eyes closed.]

Fair warning, I have... absolutely no idea what I'm doing Penny so... be a little patient with me. I'm an old villain trying to turn over a new leaf, just a tiny bit. I'm not going to be a good person... but I'll be good for you.

[zot... AHEM]

But, seriously... we should talk about your shielding. I don't have the best control. How... how shielded are your circuits?

[Goodness, well that sure is something Penny enjoyed. Somehow she hadn't expected another girl's lips to feel so soft?]

Um...

[Penny. She asked you a question, Penny. It's time to think about electricity and not how warm her hand felt against her face.]

I-I am... designed to withstand electric shock. [Stop looking at her lips. Look her in the eyes like a normal person. Those pretty... yellow eyes.

Crap.]

A brief shock will not do any permanent damage, but I am unsure what a sustained current would do.]

[That reaction. The way that she seemed to be looking at he. The way she was freezing. Larxene swallowed and her lips quivered a little, closer, her breath very close to Penny's. Elrena'd never kissed anyone. Larxene had never kissed anyone. What was it supposed to feel like? she was... curious. That was what it was. she was curious. Would she feel anything?]

I can avoid sustained current. It's usually not much worse than a static jolt...

...

Do you want me to kiss you? I mean, we're not on a date... but... I could.

[Static she can deal with. It's not the most comfortable thing, but it won't do anything serious to her.

What's much more concerning is how close Larxene was to her now. She could feel the moisture of her breath, the warmth of her words. She... wanted to kiss her. Is that okay?]

Do... people only kiss... when they are on a date?

I think... people who are dating do it whenever they want to.

[Her forehead was resting against Pennny's and one hand now circled the small of her back while the other rested against the back of her neck. Her lips were close enough that they were practically touching, tiny little sparks running as electrons tunneled from lip to metal lip. Larxene swallowed hard again, her eyes closed.]

I kind of ... really want to. Is it bad that I want to kiss you?

...Are you sure?

[She puts one hand on Larxene's shoulder, a concerned look on her face. Not that she's making any effort to move away.]

I do not want anything bad to happen, if we are not supposed to kiss outside of a date.

I'm ... sure that I want to kiss you. Yes.

I'm also sure that I'm not going to kiss you unless you want me to kiss you too.

[There was a shallow breath. A swallow, and her eyes closed.]

And ... I don't really care what we're 'supposed' to do. I care about what you want to do. So, if you want to kiss me? Kiss me. I'm just going to close my eyes and let you choose.

Kiss me... or we wait. I'll be happy either way.
