Catching a Breath

((Oh...I thought you literally meant a Penguin, and you were going to steal one from the zoo or something))

"Surprised," he asked. "By what?"

Feeling her hand in his, Simon blushed a little, and wrapped hers in his.

"By my actions," he asked, feeling he should stop, so she could answer.

"No!" Siren exclaims, turning to smile at him
"I'm surprised you don't have a girlfriend.." her eyes twinkle with mirth, "You really know how to charm a girl!" She giggles and drops his hand, skipping down the hallway before stopping at a door. "Come in!" She says, "This is my room!"

Simon chuckled. She was surprised at his not having a girlfriend? He was surprised one of the first girls he thought he might like had an angry badger after her. But, he needed to be nice. Tolliver seemed to be a sincere, if rude sort of guy.

"A girlfriend," he asked. "I had thought to not persue that just yet, only to find that there are a few I really like. Or at least like enough that I would like to find out if we liked each other."

Stepping into the room, Simon looked around. It was pretty nice, all things considered. Smiling he looked to Siren, and felt flattered. She was showing him her personal liviong area. Something he had been raised to believe was a sacred and important thing.

"I like it, Siren. It's very nice! It has a certain warmth to it, to say the least! Maybe because the gentler gender has a certain flare that men lack?"

Alright, Simon Peter! Don't go and lose your head! She's pretty, true. But, she is a person and deserves intelligence, not babbling!

She laughs again, and a mischevious smile plays over her face. "Flair? I do posses this...but gentle?," She asks, leaning in so close that thier noses almost touch "I'm not...always gentle, or at least I don't have to be."

"I..." Simon had started to say something, but this girl was so tempting. So intoxicating, that he almost forgot what he was doing, as he leaned slightly closer, and froze. What was he doing? This wasn't how it was meant to go. They had to go out on a date. They had to hold... Wait. They were holding hands, and technically, they were almost on a date now.

"Ah don't doubt that you could be not gentle," he said, swallowing the lump in his throat. "Ah'm sorry. It's an old fashioned way of describin' women. One I find captures the finer aspect of the gender. Siren. I really enjoy your company, and would like to know if we could grow to know one another better. So that we may be better friends, or possibly..."

"We could be more..than friends?" She asks, staring into his eyes. "We could..be more than friends." She says, not a question, wrapping her arms around his neck and pressing in close to him. She wispers into his ear; "We could be -much- more than friends.."

Siren wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed herself to Simon. His heart began to boom in his ear like a marching band's bass drum. Then, like a magic spell brought to its final purpose with the finishing chant, she whispered into his ear that they "could be much more than friends." Closing his eyes, and smiling a little, allowing that exceptionally vulnerable part to show, he nodded.

"Yes," he replied, still smiling, but gently resting his trembling hands upon Siren's sides. "We most certainly could. I would be honored, and even touched to my very soul if that could be."

((in retrospect, I realize I should have stopped putting off posting until 'tomorrow' -__-;;))

Siren stands leaning against Simon, this naivee, simple, sweet, kind boy who she had charmed with overwhelming ease. She swalowed hard agaist her sudden thoughts of how easy it would be to break his heart here and now. Maybe once, just this once, things would end up okay. Maybe just this once she wouldn't hurt this kind human boy. Maybe.

She stands, staring into his jovial eyes as she ponders her thoughts for several moments before clearing her throat and lifting his hands off her sides. "Simon?" She asks, "You are leaving now?" She smiles quoting him "It would not be proper to watch me change, yes?"

Simon blushed more than just a little pink. He went into deep red, and his eyes widened as his heart seemed to almost jump from his chest. The sheer thought of Siren's form was almost enough to cause him to reel in dizziness.

"Y-yeah," he stammered a little. "Ah'll... just... you know... wait outside."

Siren smiles and ushers him out of her room, closing the door behind him. "I will only be a moment, I promise." She says as the door clicks shut. There is a secondary silence, then what sounds like a chest of drawers being flung open and wooshing sounds as clothes go flying past the door. There is a muffled commentary playing; "Where is it?? Where is it?!" Hera! Where did I put the damned-..oh." There are sounds of zippers being undone, then a squeal followed by a loud THUNK, "HERA! That hurt!" Siren whimpers. Then there is a sympohny of small items clinking together and several brushing noises that grow in length with each stroke. A deep breath is taken, and then barely a minute after the door is shut, Siren emerges.

Siren is wearing a sparkling, sleeveless, white sundress with a plunging neckline, which ends just above her knees. A small pink, heart-shaped handbag dangles from her wrist, and her lips shimmer with a light blue tinted lip gloss. But most striking of all is her sea-green hair, which moments ago had been cropped above her ears, now hung in shining sheets around her waist.

She smiles at Simon, and spins is a quick circle. "How do I look?"

((So sorry for the delay on this... Gah!!!))

Simon stood, dumbfounded. Deep inside, his heart ached a little. His heartrate accelerated, and his eyes seemed to shine a little, almost as if sparkling, but not.

"Oh, dear Lord! Yer absolutely beautiful!"

((So sorry for the delay on this... Gah!!! I am SO SO sorry for not responding quicker, Siren!))

Simon stood, dumbfounded. Deep inside, his heart ached a little. His heartrate accelerated, and his eyes seemed to shine a little, almost as if sparkling, but not. It was very difficult to not show his arrousal, but he smiled and opened his mouth almost speachless.

"Oh, dear Lord! Yer absolutely beautiful! The dress only makes your skin and hair prettier!"
