In silence he watched her, taking notice of the changes in her expression and the look in her eyes.
His breath quietly left him in a drawn out sigh as her hand moved to his cheek. Eyes blinking once when her thumb ran across his cheekbone, but his gaze didn't leave her.
Time almost seemed to slow down in that moment and nothing else mattered. Seth lifted his own hand to touch her hair, tucking the ruddy locks behind her ear.
He too leaned in, and allowed his lips to gently brush against hers. A gentle caress in which most would think him incapable of. Again he kissed her, but this time there was something behind it. A feeling, emotion, perhaps even affection? It wasn't entirely clear, but it was there.

She had.. something to do - later - it didn't seem important. It was an hour away - an hour was a long time - very far away - and he was right here. Nadja would deny it later, but work was coming second just now, and she was leaning into him without thinking of it.
When lips touched hers she drew breath, and when they drew away she followed, guiding him closer at the same time. This was.. deeper - too deep, maybe, because she broke the silence between breaths with a barest murmur of "This might work," so close it was felt rather than heard.

Work? The gun at the end of his table, the updates to the server, it had all been forgotten. Going to his mind's back burner for later. Right now this took priority.
Her words interrupted that moment of bliss, and started to bring him back to his senses. Perhaps that had been her intention. Regardless, his hand stroked her back as he took a moment to consider her words. Lips pulling back in a little smirk.
"Might? I think it will," he replied in hushed tones. At least, he hoped it would work. He wanted it to work. Maybe even... needed it to work. He wouldn't let her go easily.

Silence and an inscrutable smile followed Seth's assertion while a hand drifted to the side of his neck, fingers playing with the longer strands of hair in back.
"We'll see." It was one of those low, velvety murmurs that promised both nothing and the possibility of everything. Nadja mirrored the smirk with a wry curve of her lips, half-lidded eyes no longer unfocused but canny and knowing. That expression had been the start of playful games of keep away, but right now the redhead seemed perfectly content to stay where she was, her other hand resting on his shoulder.
"But your chances are looking good from here."

This was going better than expected. His efforts certainly seemed to have paid off. It was definitely worth noting for future reference.
Straightening up to his full height once more, Seth pulled Nadja close in his embrace. Her words drawing a low hum from his throat, the smirk broadening just a little. That would be good enough for now.
It suited him well that she was content where she was, for he was content not to let her go just yet. His blue gaze looked thoughtful and contemplating for a moment. He was considering his next move and how to proceed.
"Are you doing anything tonight?"

Seth's full height was several inches more than Nadja's own. Close enough that the curve of her body fit into his, she found it far more comfortable to let the hand in his hair slip down to his upper arm, the top of her head just under his chin. "I am, actually."
After a beat, she continued on in way of someone amused at some private joke. "There's someone I haven't seen in a while," she shifted slightly against him, and her words dropped to a breathy buzz on his collarbone, "-and we need to make up for lost time."

As his chin came to lightly rest on very top of her head, he felt the brief sting of disappointment upon those words. Yet, as she continued, it became clear where she was going with it. He would have been able to feel her breath against his neck if it hadn't been for the collar of that damn uniform.
That had little effect on his reaction though as the hand on Nadja's hip tightened slightly in its grip, and the corner of his mouth drew up in a smirk. He was starting to see a trend. Nadja loved to tease him.
"Lucky him," came the dry remark. His smirk broadening a bit as his other hand drifted up her back and brushed against the curved edge of Nadja's hair. His tone taking on an amused tinge. "What time should I be there to get rid of him?"

"Hah," Nadja laughed, and after a moment of calculation spent studying the weave of his uniform added, "Eight."
"Don't be too rough with him," she murmured. "I rather like his company when he's not being maddeningly stubborn."

"Eight," he repeated quietly, taking a moment to mentally go over the schedule for his day. That was reasonable, and if something ended up conflicting, he would reschedule. She was high on the priority list right now.
His smirk turned into a mischievous grin as he lifted his chin off her head and instead ducked to murmur in her ear, "I'll keep that in mind."
Long fingers that had been playing with the edge of her hair, came around and traced the curve of Nadja's jawline. The intent to guide her face towards his as he brought his lips to hers in another kiss. This time with more passion and intent than earlier.

The words on her ear were met with a quiet intake of breath and a little shrug. Nadja's lips parted in a smile and she leaned into his fingers until she felt the first touch of Seth's lips, at which point she leaned into him. The manner in which she met him was pleased and playful, but soon became something more serious as a slim hand reached for the back of his neck and the other found his waist, fingers curling to pull him close.
It wasn't always necessary to have the last word. Especially when it got in the way of another kiss.
A rather enjoyable minute later, a buzzing vibration signaled an incoming call on her Rocket Dex. A voice that long ago had all the humor sucked out of it crackled over the speaker. "Ma'am?"

He could feel the curves of her body against him, and the sensual way that she pressed against him. It caused his pulse to race just a little bit quicker, and the temperature in the room seemed to go up a few degrees. His fingers moved just under Nadja's ear, thumb against her cheekbone, while his other arm encircled her waist once more.
It was the sweetest moment he'd had in quite some time, and he relished it.
Only to have it broken by the grating voice of a man he abhorred.
A growl rose up in Seth's throat at the interruption. He had to physically bite his tongue to keep from snapping. What the HELL did HE want?!

The redhead's soft, contented hum cut off.
Her hand left Seth's waist for her Rocket Dex, which was subjected to an icy "What."
A female voice shouted from a distance, "Allen! Stop bothering Miss Nadja! It isn't dying or being violent, let it be."
Unaffected, Allen continued on. "It's EX-249S. "Behavior was normal until fifteen minutes ago, when it started to thrash and produce bizarre vocalizations. And now it's doing this-" A burbling trill rose in pitch and was abruptly replaced with a low growl as a similar noise started on Nadja's end. "It sounded-"
"Happy?" the elite suggested, her tone decidedly not. She absently began massaging the back of Seth's neck with her free hand, though for whom the calming effect was intended was uncertain.

Seth wanted to kill the man. How dare he interrupt them! If Allen had been in reach, the elite would probably be throttling him right about now. A particularly annoyed expression crossed his face as he listened in and knew what was going on.
"That thing isn't supposed to have emotions. If he would fix it, this wouldn't be an issue." The man said irritably to nobody in particular, but not caring if Allen overheard him either.
However, the massaging of his neck did have a calming effect and the man started to relax a little.

"Er," Allen started, then stopped at the sound of another elite's voice.
There was a moment of relative silence, then something crashed and broke on the other end of the line. "Oh no! A terrible accident!" Nyx exclaimed at the same time as Allen's indignant "My coffee mug!"
"No, your arm! You're disoriented from blood loss! You're-"
"A poor actor, Nicole." Nadja hung up and leaned on Seth's chest with an exasperated huff.

Seth blinked once at the sound of a crash, and then rolled his eyes at the ensuing drama.
"Idiots," he muttered as Nadja hung up. There was several moments of still silence as Seth tried to come down from his anger and irritation at the interruption. Talk about a mood killer.
