If I didn't send it to you what makes you convinced it is me? That it would be?

( because even without seeing her face there's still some other physical signs it's her.

and she never outrightly denied it )

[fourthwalled]

I mean, it had your name on the back. Is it not you?

[He pulls the picture out of his pocket all of the sudden, holding it up and trying to compare it to her. It's hard considering she still has on clothes.]

[cairhien]

( the way she looks away from the picture is probably telling enough before she speaks )

It looks it. But it's not something I've done. ( yet ) I don't know how this came to you.

[fourthwalled]

[He gives it one last look before considering and handing it over to her.] You can have it. To destroy it. Or keep. Whatever. [He doesn't actually want to keep something like that if it's making her uncomfortable. Even if it's a very very nice picture. Very nice.]

Clearly some kind of city nonsense... [Wade plays with the condensation on his beer glass.] And here I was hoping I had an actual secret admirer.

[cairhien]

( there's a grateful nod, moiraine folding it once before putting it into her coat. it'll be burned later.

there's a pause before she gives him a smile that looks more genuine )

You don't?

( he's been perfectly polite to her )

Perhaps it hasn't come yet.

[fourthwalled]

[Wade looks very very skeptical at that idea, but brushes that off with a laugh.]

Yeah, I mean I've got people just knocking down my door left and right. Guys, gals. All kinds. Gotta beat 'em off with sticks!

[cairhien]

Sticks sound like the least effective way.

( because that's what she's taking from this. but she does at least sound a little more amused, recovering slightly from where this conversation had started )

Not if you wish an admirer close.

[fourthwalled]

Ah, so that's what I've been doing wrong! [He snaps his fingers, smirking.] Shucks.

Maybe I could use my swords? [He's joking obviously.]

[cairhien]

If you're seeking admirers why are you trying to fend them off?

( even if she knows he's joking )

[fourthwalled]

I'm a very complicated man, what can I say? [His face sobers a bit and he stares into his glass. This may be getting too close to an actual serious conversation for his liking.]

[cairhien]

Or shy?

( she's joking, not really believing that herself. and the smile should show that she isn't serious about that comment )

At the very least you've made a friend.

[fourthwalled]

[He snorts at the idea that he's shy. He might get weird about his scars sometimes, but he's far from shy.]

A friend. [Wade tests out the word, thinking.] I guess, I'll take it. Can use more friends. [And hopefully he doesn't fuck it up as he's prone to do.]

[cairhien]

In a strange place it seems that we all can.

( a friendlier face, someone to turn to. anything, really )

And you've been that today.
