Nana replied, her tone just south of sarcastic. Just south because Nana wasn't sure a full sarcastic quip was altogether necessary at the moment, it wasn't completely impossible that the man wasn't trying to take the Mickey out of her. "It's rather late to be in your regular clothes, isn't it?" Perhaps he was on patrol duty for the night.

Improbable, highly unlikely, but not impossible.

As loath as she was to admit it, there were worst people to find herself suddenly sharing a meal with (some of them happened to be on staff)... And so far this wasn't the worst experience of her day... But then there had been so many times when Nana had let her guard down just enough for James to sink under her skin again, leaving her ruffled and frustrated..... Naturally his next words did just that. Mouth slightly agape, it took the Japanese Professor a moment before she could pull herself together enough to stare coolly at the man before her.

Flustered and still slightly flushed, Nana decided that it was time to give James a taste of his own medicine. He wasn't the only one who could tease and flirt, and taunt. She plucked a date, holding it between her dainty fingers as if he meant to inspect it. "All this week?" Nana said, a hint of a smirk on her lips. "In that case, why don't we go out friday? I don't have any plans all weekend... " She was certain that James would chicken out. He hated dating, he hated the idea of seeing the same woman twice. His words and actions were a game, another means to entertain himself during their meetings.

Nana Ichihara couldn't wait to see that smug grin replaced with a look of panic. She popped the date into her mouth. Tasted better than she'd expected.

James was having too much fun here. It was funny almost three whole months had flown by and yet this was perhaps one of the few times he was truly enjoying himself. It was easy here, leaving the masks behind. No need to sensor himself in front of Nana. ”Oh, that’s because I am teasing you,” he started, ”just not completely.” She could take whatever way she wanted, but he was still grinning especially at what she had to say next. ”You’re right…” he trailed off for only a second, ”But I don’t sleep in silk pajamas.” Her mind could do the rest of the math, yeah? Heh.

Had James looked away for even a few seconds, he would have missed Nana’s reaction to what he had said. Fortunately for James, there was nothing else keeping his focus. She had his undivided attention. And man, was he enjoying every second of it. Especially seeing the way she reacted to each and every one of his words. It was a beautiful thing, watching them faze her even if it were for only mere moments. He was so damn proud. And he wore it on his face in the form of a triumphant, smug look.

What he had been expecting to see next were the whites of her eyes and a frown. But she didn’t roll her eyes at all, instead… She went with it. WHAT?!?!?

W H A T.

It took all of a second for his face to pale and his eyes to widen in shock, the proud smirk slipping from his features. He still held on to the date he had been eating, willing himself to come up with something witty in return. It was a dangerous game they were playing now. But James couldn’t stand to lose. Even now that the prize consisted of dinner and drinks. Narrowing his eyes back to their norm, even slightly narrower than usual, he leaned forward so that he could lessen the distance between them. ”Friday….. Is perfect,” the last word rolled off his tongue with a rough edge.

And he could not believe what he had just done.
