–// You know I had to do it… ))

The rose is red, the violet’s blue,The honey’s sweet, and so are you. 

See? Told you. I’m much worse at it than you.

Anyway, the cupcakes are in the fridge so the frosting won’t melt.

Remember to take your meds.

Will be back soon.

Evfra noticed Lexi’s hands and her gaze. Of course she was worried. He'd expected this, to be honest. She always worried about far too much, wasn’t she? From what he’d been told, this wasn’t too uncommon outside of her dealings with him, but this was not the way she’d been described to him, so he assumed it was different that she was with others. Honestly, it made him want to tilt her face back up to maintain eye contact, but now wasn’t the time. Instead, he just pressed his lips together.

“You’re not my physician. You haven’t been for a while,” he stated. Though, she was right and he knew it. He’d taken his sweet time with letting her know about this possible interest for this very reason. He didn’t like being told the reasons behind what he felt by someone that wasn’t him, however.

“Harihn saved my life as well, and while I appreciate his effort and admire his ability, I am not looking to spend more time with him.” Granted, he already knew Harihn well enough to know what he thought of him.

Even while discussing this, Evfra was cold. Or lukewarm, at most. His guard was still up, ready for anything that might come his way and try to knock him down. Nothing at all let on that he was... struggling. This wasn’t easy. Keeping his heart in line with a vice grip only resulted in so much. Perhaps, he had to let it have what it wanted. Though, just for a bit.

Jaal, I don’t like surprises. 

That was one of the things he’d told Jaal when this whole blind date idea was brought up. More delving into milky way culture conjured up by Liam. They seemed more excited about this than Evfra could understand. Though, he had room in the small amount of free time he’d allowed himself.

In hindsight, who he was to meet should not have been a surprise when he’d been given the personality description. And he had been told this would be a milky way individual, so he could prepare accordingly. That small fact had given him pause, but Jaal convinced him in the end, just as he had convinced him to consider going on a date at all. Interspecies courting? His people wouldn’t approve. It was likely the best chance he’d get with anyone, though. Every angara knew Evfra to be a solitary being. An aloof, intimidating, singel-minded being. While the aliens knew, they were less familiar with it.

Honestly, he was uncertain if he’d made a mistake or not in agreeing to this, even while he made his way over. The sentiment was understood, but he didn’t need anyone making him vulnerable. Not in that way. Not again. That concern was quickly overtaken by the idea that someone at the venue had made a mistake with the seating, though. He paused and lowered his brows. Doctor T’Perro? This couldn’t be right... but it made sense. It made more sense than he liked to admit.

Skkut. Had he been that obvious? The mild embarrassment he felt translated into a frown and a light twitch of his nose before he continued his approach. Good thing he hadn’t caught her attention yet. His face had gone the usual blank expression by the time he addressed her. The way he’d folded his arms had changed, however. They were over his chest, but his hands were gently rested against himself with one palm on his bicep and the other on his side.

His eyes kept trained on her face throughout her entire response, only switching to the chair she was sitting on for the briefest of seconds when it cried out from he movement. Usually, he knew what to do, but even with prior research into what little information he’d been give, it all went away the moment Lexi was put into the formula. His gaze went over her form, noticing her bare hands and legs. He wasn’t used to this clothing style. Most of his people wore pants, too. Not that he really minded at all.

“I’ve never seen you outside your uniform. It’s odd, but you look good.” He could only hope she felt the same way about him. It was hard to guess what aliens would find attractive in his species. After that acknowledgement, he pulled out his seat and sat down, resting his fingers together on the table. “I’m afraid my people don’t have much to work with.”

With the war, he and his people had very little choice in the clothing they had. It wasn’t as though clothing shopping was a top priority now that his people had a chance at a future either. All he could do to change things up in his attire was not wear some of his armor. It was only that on the torso that he'd done away with. Without it, he felt… bare, vulnerable. It was a choice made with no small amount of hesitation. Liam had suggested he try to look less ready for a battle to break out at a restaurant. Jaal seemed to agree. It could happen... but fair enough. Of course, he had done his part to look presentable in other ways. He took care of himself and his appearance, as usual, but he did just that little bit more effort, making sure his skin was moisturized, his lips were soft, his colors were vibrant, and he smelled fresh. Compared to her, he was underdressed for this. Well, assuming she was dressed specially for the occasion, at least.

Send a Heart for a Specific Kiss!

Send 😍 for a surprise kiss.

This was strange. Spending casual time with an alien. Private, as usual. Evfra and Lexi didn’t need prying eyes and hushed whispers interfering with what they were trying to do here. What were they trying to do? They’d talked, of course, and they understood at least some of each other’s boundaries. Part of the latter was due to him having made a few mistakes along the way, but they were easy enough to talk through together. Spending time with Lexi was pleasant, even when just enjoying shared silence. He didn’t get that often. Not in this way. It was odd. Unnatural. Though, it felt natural, her head resting against him while he kept gentle fingers on her jaw and neck. That only served to make it feel even more strange.

He’d noticed Lexi moving, and opened his eyes a little, his vision focusing on her features. Her face was in front of his, and he didn’t mind. Her lips touched his, and he still didn’t mind. In fact, it pleased him. He cupped her cheek with one hand and kept the other rested against her waist while he kissed back, sweet and soft at first, but steadily letting it become more passionate.

Soon, his previous concerns crept up on him tenfold, however, after a soft sigh left him. He felt the anxious tension gripping around his heart and he took in a quick breath before slowly pulling away.

His heart pounded and his eyes were wide, while he stared down at Lexi’s face, frozen, his pupils large, his nose twitching. The light blues on his face had gone a noticeably darker shade.The more he became aware of his reaction, that he’d actually been excited, and the fact that he’d thought about this happening on numerous occasions, the worse it got. 

What would his people think? He didn’t know what to say. He didn’t know how to wipe the look of complete shock from his face.

Skkut… Breathe, you idiot. 

With a quiet deep breath, he managed to gather himself, closing his eyes and uttering a light hum. 

send 🍸 and a question and my muse will answer drunk

Milky way spirits were stronger than expected. Ryder should have warned him, but of course they didn’t. This was probably the best entertainment they’d had in days.Skkut. Okay. At least this was a simple enough question. 

“Pastel turquoise,” Evfra noted. Not like his rofjinn, that one is more brilliant. More Ayan. His chosen color was also a little saddening, though. “It reminds me of Voeld.” Evfra ran a hand over his cheek and up his temple. “Our people are more sober than those of Havarl. Calmer.” Though that was a bit of a generalization, wasn’t it? He shook his head. “Not that Jaal isn’t calm. He’s just... emotional.” With a wave of the hand, he quickly elaborated, “Granted, many angara are open with our feelings, making us seem emotional. Some more than others.” Pressing his fingers to his chest, he added, “I'm not emotional at all. I only feel stress and... distaste.” 

A Shipping meme for muse told by the mun

🥀- A ship you would never do

I would never have a romantic nor a sexual ship between Evfra and Sid. She’s like… 12. Okay, she’s maybe 18 or something, but still. She’s more adoptable than anything. Just not happening. I’d sooner ship him with a single of Alec Ryder’s nipples than I would ship him with Sid.

💘- What is your muse like in ships

You have seen him. Though, truly, it depends. He’s always going to start out differently with an alien than with another angara. Emotions are the most important thing in a relationship, and that means sharing them. This also means he will try to be honest with himself and his partner when discussing matters. Might have moments of nagging concern. Would likely not wax lyrical about most any relationship. He’s not possessive either, because he’d only date people he has some level of trust in. 

💗- Do you have a gender preference when shipping

Depends on the muse, but I am not sure with Ev. Probably not, but he only has one ship going atm. Heck, even when counting friends, he only has one ship. I guess women, then? I don’t know. I guess my preference is just people he respects and admires/loves. 

💞- Do you like or hate love triangles

Do you mean healthy poly ships? Because I like healthy poly ships. Love triangles with manufactured tension, however, are not my thing. 

💌- Would your muse write a love letter

Would he write a letter in which he expresses fondness? Yes. Would he write what most think a love letter should be? No. Not often, at least. Besides, actions are better than words.

💕- How affectionate is your muse

My initial response was just “no”. It’s not entirely true. In private, he can be pretty affectionate. He gives good hugs. He likes touches. He likes giving them. He’d like to hold someone. That being said, he won’t be as openly affectionate with an alien as he’d be with a fellow angara. 

🏩- Would your muse ever check into a love hotel, especially with their Boyfriend/Girlfriend

A love hotel? Those short-term intimate stay places for couples, right? Maybe? They can be cozy. Ya got a pretty room, romantic decor. Privacy. Privacy is in real short supply in most places. It depends. Is it reputable? Is it clean? It is important to check. Also, is it more cost effective than other alternatives? Is it discrete? One needs to think about these things. At any rate, it just seems like a short-term expensive hotel room you go in for about four or so hours to do whatever couple’s related business you want there. It can be pretty nice. I don’t think he knows the concept of one of those establishments, though. Then again… A nice private room outside the cold does sound like a lucrative business, even if it’s taking advantage of the people who have no large daar with many rooms to stay in. This is a surprisingly difficult question. 

💋- How good is your muse at kissing

Does Lexi want a reminder? If that’s the case, she could just ask. He’s decent. Likes to be gentle. Tries to suit the mood. However, there may be a few cases where his lips start out the tiniest bit dry. Then again, he’s been out of practice, so he might need a few demonstrations, if his partner is willing to provide. 

🎁- Is your muse picky about gifts

He rarely gets any. Most people can’t exactly afford to just give things away, can they? At any rate, he doesn’t need gifts. He doesn’t want gifts from anyone he doesn’t know either. He’s initially more picky about who gives a gift than what the gift actually is. Tann, for example, wouldn’t get a very good response on most anything. If it’s useful, it’d be accepted, but it wouldn’t mean much. Kesh would get a slightly less >:[ response, because she’s a krogan, and also isn’t a kiss-ass. Any gift from Jaal is welcome. He puts a lot of effort into everything he does. It doesn’t mean Evfra always wants a certain gift at the time, but it’s appreciated all the same. If one’s not his friend, show respect. He is a proud guy, and also seems to er on the skeptical side. So basically, most any unprompted gift would be met with his little “hm” and the frown.

But this is a shipping meme, so let’s see about people he does like. He doesn’t really care about gifts. He doesn’t want handouts. Sentiment is important, but he’d not like not being able to offer much similar back.
