Atton's out by the lake again, leaning against a tree and reading a datapad. He may or may not be brooding. Why don't you find out?

*Polexia wanders out back for a walk. She sees Atton and walks over.*

Whatcha readin'?

Atton looks up and grins broadly, though an extremely observant person might notice there's something not quite right about the grin.
"Oh, just something on some stuff, I don't understand half of it."

*Polexia does notice, but she's not gonna say anything. She knows him well enough to know he'd lie if she asked.*

Want some company?

"Sure." Atton smiles.

*she sits down beside him*

Good, I probably would joined you even you said no, ya know?

*she grins, she trying very har not to flirt and it is terribly obvious.*

"Oh, I know." Atton's not really trying very hard not to flirt at all, but then, he flirts with pretty much anything on two legs, so it's not really all that good an indicator of what he thinks. "How've you been, then?"

*Polexia flirts with anything and everyone but she'd happily do more than flirt with Atton and that has already been established as a very bad idea. *

I've been pretty good.

You?

"Oh, I've been fine, really," He says simply.

That's good.

*she smiles brightly*

I hadn't seen you in a while, so I was curious.

Atton nods, grinning. He's at a tiny bit of a loss for things to say.

*she stops just short of the words "Wanna fuck?" coming out of her mouth, because she is bored and it's an easy way to pass the time.*

You bored too? We'll have find something to do then.

*she grins*

Any suggestions?

Atton doesn't have quite the same self-control.

"Wanna frack?"

After a moment, he frowns.

"Or, perhaps, not."

Desperately, baby. Probably not a good idea though.

*she pouts, then leans in and kisses him*

We don't have to fuck to have a good time.

*she whispers*

"No," Atton grins and moves away slightly. "No. Bad words, didn't mean to say them, bad time, not too right in the head right now, a bit bantha-brained and all that. And I'm with someone. Was with someone. Only a few days ago, you see, so I'm not really up to leaping into bed with anyone just yet. Y'know, I'd like to get my breath back first. Maybe have a holiday."

"I ... er ... didn't mean to ask that. I don't want to. Nor do I want to have a good time. I'm happy as I am, thanks."

*she nods and moves back*

Oh, god, no wonder you look like shit. Don't worry about it. I was just following your lead.

I'm around if you need me though, to talk to or whatever.

"My lead, yes. Well, sorry for that, didn't mean to drop leads. I'll make sure to talk to you should I feel a sudden need to talk," Atton gives her a friendly grin. "Got to go, but I'll be around the bar, somewhere, probably. See you later."

And with that, he dashes off. An observant person might notice two living socks trying to catch up with him.
