Oh. Um well, it's mostly just a respect kind of thing? Since when we met it was cause I was helping you with the garden, so you were in charge. And you're older than me, not like that's a bad thing or you're old, but you know. It's just how I was taught I guess.
I don't mind being called ma'am, exactly? I guess I just wasn't sure if that meant you saw me as like. A mom. Or a teacher or something. Cause neither of those are very sexy to me.
I mean, sometimes it's sexy, but not so much under those circumstances, does that make sense?
Really? [Keyleth has never considered this before, because her teacher growing up had been her dad, and so she puts the role into a very familial light. But HMMMM, if she's not being viewed in a familial, motherly-or-sisterly light, that could change things. She'll have to think about that more.]
Oh, yes, did I not say that? I didn't, did I. It's more, I was going to ask you if you wanted to have sex, but I was afraid that you saw me a certain way? Because of the ma'am and the miss.
Yeah, it's like a whole... thing where I'm from? Sexy older teacher and younger student.
Oh... oh yeah yeah sure that'd be great.
Like, most of the folks here are older than me, if I had a problem with that I'd never get any. And you're real pretty, Miss Keyleth, I ain't gonna lie. I just thought you weren't interested.
[He knows that plenty of people here found him attractive, or adorable, or cute, he's accepted that, he just hasn't figured out quite why]
Huh. Is that how you think of me? I don't think I'm actually that much older than you, honestly.
Oh, well, I like sex and you've been nice to me. [That is kind of Keyleth's only requirement. She can find something attractive in almost anyone, but if you're genuinely unkind to her or have a mean sense of humor, it's a complete turn-off.] Is there something wrong with being cute? I get called cute all of the time. OH do you think it's because we have red hair?
Oh? I just kinda assume most folks are. Except for Harry, I know he's the same age as me. You kinda seem... you don't act like you're my age.
I mean, not really wrong, I just ain't ever been called cute that much before I came here. Kind of weird when you're a guy, but I guess it ain't such a bad thing.
I don't know, do you think Caleb's cute? He's got red hair. [For the record, Corbin absolutely does think Caleb can be cute, but that's not the main descriptor he'd give] Oh, or Flint that works at the bookstore, he's got red hair too, but I don't think he ever gets called cute.
I'm 25, which is pretty young for a half-elf. [Corbin are you saying she acts like a mature adult? That's like the nicest thing anyone's ever said to her! Almost no one ever mistakes her for that!]
I would call Caleb handsome more than cute but I think that's more to do with his disposition than his looks, he seems too serious for cute.
It's considered adult, like, fully grown? But we live about a hundred and eighty, two hundred years. [Keyleth will live much longer than that, but let's not talk about depressing things right now!]
I bet you look cute when you blush too :)
(it's a smiley face, you have to turn it on its side)
Oh no, why? Do I look old? Are there wrinkles? Did the adventuring life age me prematurely? :P
(I LIKE YOUR HAPPY WINKY FACE, I want to use that one! That one is a P but it looks like a tongue, see? It means I'm joking! Aren't these fun?! I'm going to put them in every letter I write from now on!)
Sooooooo anyway how do you feel about outdoor sex? There's a nice little field in the garden, behind some maple trees. It's very cozy.
Oh you're fucking with me. :P Yeah, they're fun, I've seen some that look even more like faces, but I don't remember how to make them. I can do this one, but I ain't got a reason to (-_-)
Yeah? Sounds real nice, I can meet you there. Should I bring a blanket or something?
I don't think I got anything that's just for sippin anyway. But we can go get some milkshakes after if you want to, I ain't been to Staxx in awhile.
[All he had was moonshine, and that wasn't the same thing as like, wine or something that was good to just sip on. But if she wanted he'd be totally fine with getting some post-sex milkshakes and fries]
Anyway, I'll meet you there in a minute. ♥
[And he won't run, but he's not dawdling either, so he'll be at the gardens sooner than not, finding the little field she'd told him about and looking around to see if she was there.]
[Milkshakes sounded absolutely delightful to Keyleth. She used to avoid Staxx, because it was Kira's place and she wasn't overly fond of Kira, but he'd been gone for a while, so it was fine.]
I love it. See you in a bit!
[Keyleth cheats a little, really, tree striding her way easily to the little grove behind the maple trees and getting a blanket spread out, but it doesn't seem like she waits very long before Corbin calls out to her.]
Over here!
[She waves from her spot lounging casually on the ground, hands propped behind her, legs stretched out and legs crossed at the ankles, the hem of her long skirt bunched up a little so that her bare feet and calves are visible.]
[Corbin grins and waves back, heading over almost as if he hadn't come here for the express purpose of meeting Keyleth. He stood next to her blanket for a second, smiling at how pretty she looked in the sunlight.]
Hey, nice day ain't it? Mind if I sit down?
[He really hopes so, or this was going to be a bit awkward. But he also wasn't just going to invite himself onto her blanket, that would be a bit rude.]
[She giggles brightly and draws the material of her skirt closer in to her body to make more room. Was there already ample room? Like yes. But it was a silent way of saying Here, sit close to me!]
[Corbin will take the verbal invitation to sit down and the silent one to sit close, leaning in to give Keyleth a peck on the cheek, leaning back on his arms, with one hand behind Keyleth, making it easy to lean against him if she feels like it.]
[Keyleth is, as the kids like to say, a hugger, so she takes the invitation almost immediately, tipping her head down on Corbin's shoulder and still slightly up to gaze up at the colorful autumnal canopy.]
Mm, if it was I didn't notice. It's such a nice day.
Yeah, it is. Even nicer with you sitting out here.
[How do flirt. He's trying, and he's at least pretty sure that his idea of 'hey you look pretty' gets across? Maybe?]
[He tips his gaze just enough so he doesn't move her but he can look at her and the way the light coming through the autumn leaves makes shadows across her face. She really does look pretty sitting there, he just doesn't have the words to say it and not feel like a hick]
[If it makes you feel any better, Corbin, Keyleth has no idea what a hick even is, much less whether or not you are one. Also! She is absolutely no better at flirting. Possibly she's worse!
Like case in point, she's just gonna tip her head back up, smile, and go in for a kiss. Cause that's way easier than trying to be smooth.]
[Really, it's probably best not to delve too deeply into Corbin's own ideas about his level of intelligence vs. how other people perceive him. Best to just leave it be, since he has other things to think about. Much better things, like how Keyleth tastes like green and smells like the sunlight. And no matter how bad either of them might be at flirting, Keyleth is pretty dang good at kissing.]
[Corbin leans over, the hand that's not planted on the ground sliding around her waist to urge her closer. It is a lot easier than trying to talk.]

But um. Yeah. I get what you mean Miss Keyleth.
Would you like it if I didn't call you Miss Keyleth neither?
Sorry, I just wanted to know.

Yeah, I think handsome's a better word for Caleb. He's pretty cute when he blushes though.
Guess it kinda depends why he's blushing though.
