Welcome to Gaia! ::

She couldn't help but frown. People seemed to believe that it was more entertaining to ignore the door bell, especially when it came to entering his house.

"The knife, I'll give you. The gun? You could have concealed any other toy just as easily"

Obviously, Joe's female side still thought along the lines of a man, and whilst there were no obvious signs of arousal, his mind had ended up in the gutter the moment he'd gotten over the fact that Hannibal was inside the house.

"So what brings you here?"

She asked, casually sipping her coffee without giving any signs of being overly uncomfortable either with being naked or with having the man of her current fantasies sitting where he was.

She raised her eyebrow at Hannibal's use of a foreign word.

"Name's Joe, nothing French about it"

He pointed out. It was his luck that 'Joe' was a short form and could be used by both sexes. If Hannibal wanted to use nicknames or names of endearment, he'd have to give Joe a little more to work with.

She walked over to the table and ran her hand along the table edge towards Hannibal, avoiding touching either weapon at the same time as making Hannibal understand that she had no problems with the toys being on display. So far, if Hannibal wanted him dead, he had made a serious judgment error. One not even his business partners made. With Joe, you did not display your weapons unless they were in your hand.

He guessed Hannibal had more weapons on his body, but he was female and immortal, and about to test that theory.

"I thought you had class" She pouted. "You won't answer a lady's question but think you can pry her secrets from her"

A sparkle was visible in her eyes as she spoke and moved closer to where he was sitting and by the time she had finished speaking, she was inches away from his face, yet, had not touched him, rather letting him observe her naked body.

"Class.. yes... I can see that"

With that, she moved away from him, and pretty much turned her back to him.

"A classy alcoholic is still only an alcoholic"

He pointed out as he walked out of the room. It was getting cold and he had become aware that he was naked and really would prefer to be dressed.

(where's he getting the wine from?)

No, 'they' didn't realise they needed clothing. Joe just realised that Hannibal, despite being male, wasn't male enough to be attracted to a naked female body.

He ignored the fact that Hannibal was in his house as he searched his bedroom for women's clothing that had been left behind by a prior one nighter, and successfully found some. As soon as he was dressed again, he returned to the kitchen, this time, for a second coffee.

"You're still here"

He stated looking straight at Hanibal before completly ignoring him. Sure, it was a feign, but the way he figured it, Hannibal was here because there was something about Joe that had caught his attention, and that attention was gotten prior to becoming female. Therefore, it stood to reason that the georgeous man would remain in his house for a bit longer, or at least give him a hint of why he was there.

((lol, good thing that Joe's house does contain alcohol... and other.. uh.. things))

She continued ignoring Hannibal whilst the coffee was made, and then some, walking straight past the man and into Joe's office where an elaborate computer system stood, ready for Joe's attention.

Joe had to agree with Hannibal though, he had to do something about what he was wearing. It lead to him browsing an online store, only to become frustrated.

"How'm I supposed to know what size I am?"

He wondered out loud. He knew how his body worked, and knew what size he took in guys clothing, but women's clothing... just looking at it made him gain a whole new respect for women and their ability to dress.

She blinked, still looking at the screen in front of her as Hannibal spoke. Somehow, she had not expected him to bother moving from where he was.

Instead of getting up, she turned around and looked up into Hannibal's maroon eyes.

"You carry an interesting array of tools on you"

She pointed out, noticing the tape measure and got up, holding her hand out to receive the tape measure.

Once she finished taking measurements, she smiled at him.

"Thanks for the help"

"It worked... " She stopped herself from continuing the thought. Shopping online had worked really well prior to Joe becoming a girl.

"You wanna stay home and look after the place or come shopping with me?"

She asked, almost casually.

"Well.. this is my house.. and we haven't slept with each other yet.. so you don't really have a right to be here.. but unless I involve the authorities.. and that means explaining the female thing.. "

She stopped for a moment and smiled at Hannibal with a sparkle in her eyes as she moved in to hug him, whispering into his ear.

"Come with me, I promise to make it worth your while"

Joe knew how to seduce women and knew how to seduce guys, just not in a female body, so any attempt most likely came across as unpracticed.
