Zora couldn't help but feel genuinely relaxed hanging out with Julien Dominique Leclair. They found themself really appreciating his company and being so glad for the way that they felt, they had room to genuinely feel when around him.

And so it made doing whatever around him just felt like a fun possibility, one that allowed space for whatever.

Invited to go star gazing with him, Zora is laying in the grass looking up at the night sky - looking at how ... magnificent the stars look in this condition.

"Always love getting a few of the night sky, of the stars. I guess it's.. a natural bias for me given my connection with the cosmos and all. But still, still - the stars and seeing all the patterns they make. And just marveling at the sheer experience of knowing those stars had been there and had their own experiences in a way all this time.

It's beautiful. It really is."

It's nothing that they would ever dare take for granted.

And so they are glad, they find themself tilting their head to look at him. Maybe he had been looking at them, they don't know for sure.

"Thanks for inviting me out here. It...it's really nice being able to do stuff like this honestly. Helps give me more space to just be."

Z offers him a sincere smile - hoping that he knows that they are glad to spend time with him really.

With all the focus that they put on their work, on their craft, on their dedication to holding true to themself. These kinds of moments were precious, no matter the circumstances in which they arose.

This whole situation had a certain humor, an absolutely fabulous kind of feeling to it that Zora couldn't help but have a deep appreciation for. And the sheer boldness with which Julien Dominque Leclair had them against the door was intriguing, fascinating. Zora has an observant look to him, although they couldn't deny that they were quite pleasantly flustered by the feeling of hand gripping their chin.

Perhaps it had been a bit too long since anyone entertained them in such a way.

They offered a sly, knowing little smile.

"How kind of you to offer .. you do know I love a good horror movie, even the bad ones. They're often that much more fun to watch."

Something in them noticed full well, that with the time - the sheer lateness of it all after an interesting evening of looking through these swatches.

And to think, they were just trying to be helpful. They were! Genuinely!

Couldn't think too much before they could feel Julien Dominique Leclair's kiss, one with tongue - one that would feel the cosmic presence that they carried. Clearly if he was already so close to them he certainly didn't mind a bit of the otherworldly.

They laughed, amused by the 'birthday' shenanigans of it all. He seemed so eager, so desirous to have them around. Couldn't get much of a laugh out before another harder kiss against their mouth.

When he finally does pull back, Z gasps - staring at him with a playful look, a sense of mirth in their eyes that seemed very very open to the kind of experience he was bringing right now.

They genuinely loved that sort of .. openness, that open want. It was deeply refreshing in a way that they .. couldn't help but cherish.

Maybe they liked individuals with a bit of need there sometimes. After all, when Zora was so used to being on their own, with being all too willing to keep to stepping, all too willing to self-deny, someone making it obvious this kind of want?

Fun. Very fun in their eyes.

"You're making a very interesting case, Julien Dominique Leclair. You're very lucky that I'm in the mood to humor you. I hope you're able to make it worth it."
