If that was how he felt about it, they'd have a bit of a game ahead of them. Faye has decided, this time, that she wants to see if she can make Logan kiss her first. Because it's all just fun, right? "How considerate of you." Though, at that comment, Faye did actually hold out her hand, inspecting her nails, which were painted a glossy pink colour.

Maybe he frustrated her a little, but it also really amused her, that Logan hadn't opted to lean in closer. "True. And I've heard there are some rather nice diamonds on board somewhere that I hope to get my hands on. All the same, it's a shame we'll both be so busy at the...after party."

Aka, Faye could have enjoyed herself much later in the evening with Logan, but there was fighting and blowing up and stabbing and shooting and looting to do. So, pulling her fur shawl around her shoulders, Faye stood herself up from the bench.

That should be an interesting game. Because he might kind want to kiss her, but he also didn’t want to mess with the problems this could cause. “I’m nothing if not considerate.” Ha, yeah right. She best not believe that one in full.

The frustrating part was that he might be acting this way on purpose, though not to frustrate HER but more because he has his own hang ups. Sorry Faye, there is shitty baggage with this one. “And how many of those diamonds do you plan to wear out of this place?” he asked, chuckling as she stood. He stood with her as well, offering a hand to the woman.

“It’s too bad. The after party sounds like it’s going to be a blast.” Literally a blast too, really. “Before the night ends, I should get you on the dance floor. You know, before I turn into a pumpkin or a beast man or something again.”

"Apparently so." She drawled out the words, showing that perhaps, right enough, she didn't completely believe him on that front. But however they were behaving with each other, it wasn't like Faye didn't have her own baggage either. "I'll wear as many as I can carry. A lady never can have too many diamons. They are her best friend, you know." Faye grinned, winking at him as she accepted his hand.

"Oh, it does. And I'm sure it really will be." Faye is hoping at least to get out unscathed with all the stealing she was planning on doing. Hopefully she wouldn't get her dress ruined, at least. "That sounds like a good idea to me - I wouldn't want to be dancing with a pumpkin, after all."

He just smiled faintly to the comments of diamonds and how many she was going to walk with. So long as she got out of there before the fighting started. Or at least go to a point that she wouldn’t get caught in the cross fire. “You keep good friends.” He teased.

“Oh?” He raised a brow, highly amused. “Don’t want to dance with a pumpkin, but a beast man would be acceptable?” they should be moving. Heading back in, but he’s standing there with here in the calm of the garden, slightly out of sight and kind of wanting to ignore the fact that there is a battle going to happen in a hour or so. “Claws and all?” He might be gauging her reactions still. It was habit.

"Mmhmm. The saying about keeping your enemies closer? Doesn't count for diamonds. You want them as close as you can get." If he was going to tease her, Faye was only too happy to tease back.

She'd thought that they'd stood to go back inside, but they weren't going anywhere. Not that she minded - she was only really looting while she was here, nothing too official to do, so whiling away with Logan was something she had time for. "A beast man might be acceptable, if he knew how to dance." Faye held his gaze for a moment, daringly. "Claws and all."

[donthithimintheballs]

“Lucky diamonds.” He said with a smirk. And yes, they were going to go back in, but they both seemed to be stalling.

“He might not remember where he learned, but he does know how to dance.” Logan said and reached out for her hand, an attempt to pull her in for a dance out here and now. The music could still be heard, and though it was soft sounding, it was easy to dance to and still hear. “I’ll be sure to keep the claws in.”

Faye winked at his comment, smirking right back. Flirting with gorgeous men who also had a brain was always the best fun.

She was quite surprised, though, when he pulled her in for a dance, out their on their own. Not that she had any problems with complying to this. She easily followed his lead and held herself comfortably in position, "I'd appreciate that. It would be a shame for you to rip my dress."
