T.J tried to will away the warmth creeping over her cheeks, to no avail. How many times had she blushed this morning? And how many more times would she blush by the end of the day?
"Oh, no, no. Gosh, no! It's purely academic. I... well, I suppose learning new languages is a bit of a hobby of mine. It's not required for the field of linguistics, but... I guess I just find it enjoyable. And useful, in many circumstances; Kyra and I travel a lot."

"Vee!" T.J protested, but this time a laugh escaped her.
Then she stopped in her tracks. Her eyes went wide.
"Oh shoot!" she cried as she darted back into the cafe for her bag.

Laughing, Vee jogged back and held the door for T.J., shooting an apologetic smile at the other guests.

"I am so sorry," T.J mumbled as she grabbed her bag and hoisted it over her shoulder. She gave Vee a quick thanks, face still burning, as she hurried out the door.
"I ought to tie myself to my belongings..."

Vee slid close to T.J. as they resumed their trip to the library. "I'll stick close too if it makes ya cozy."

With only a little hesitance, T.J ignored the heat forming in her cheeks and slid closer to Vee in turn, so that their shoulders were nearly pressed together. Though being this close made her heart race, it also brought a familiar warmth to her heart and sense of security to her mind. It was indeed cozy.
"Thank you," T.J smiled.
A sudden, uncharacteristic boldness took over her. "Tell me conejita... is there anything you wish us to do before we leave London tonight?"

A large hand slid around T.J.'s waist. "I got a few ideas, dove, but let's see how our date goes first. Unless you still 'aven't added humans to that list of yours and wanna check it off."

"That sounds like a fine plan to me, conejita," replied T.J.

Vee stopped in her tracks, dragging T.J. back with her. All the cockiness had drained from her face, replaced by embarrassed color. "Uh.... j-just to be sure... are you talkin about that second part?"

T.J couldn't help but smile. "Let's see how our date goes first."

"O... Oh, that part!" Vee laughed, only somewhat frantically. "Yeah! Uh... yeah, that's what I thought."
