No one to teach her - in Torchline?! If it wasn't pouring loud rain, Adam would have continued to tease. As it was, he just stored that away for later in case he needed something to point out later.
[say]"Course I'll cuddle you. Not like I have anything else to do that's any better."[/say] Not the most complimentary way to put it, but he meant it in the best way possible; Adam couldn't think of anywhere he'd rather be than hanging out with Maeve, pretending everything was okay for a blessed few hours. [say]"Though you gotta go in front of the fire, or I will be the fire!"[/say]
Eventually, as the weather was beginning to clear and they were getting towards the brothel, she asked if he'd like a job. Adam blinked a couple of times, surprised, but the more he thought about it...Jack hadn't really given him much to do. He had a lot of time on his hands, and he liked hanging out there. [say]"...Y'know, maybe. Lemme think it about it, but that sounds cool."[/say]
Basically a yes, but he knew his impulsive asshole brain got him in trouble too often.
As soon as he could he got her inside and wrapped up in a blanket and him, ready to recover from the rain; for just a sacred second he could forget how much of a mess everything else was in.
[FIN]
