Lucy couldn’t help the laugh escape her lips when River insisted that his parents wouldn’t care who he was dating so long as he still had children with his wife and didn’t go out with anyone who wasn’t a pure blood. It was kind of funny, though she couldn’t explain why. It was the kind of thing she was almost envious of. The kind of thing that drew her to the purifiers. She wanted her parents to want her to marry a pureblood man and keep the line clean. They couldn’t care less and might even encourage her with a halfblood or a muggle born. What sort of future would that set her up with? “well, I’m honored to be your mistress.” Lucy said with a wink. Whether or not he just wanted her company, or did seriously want to date her, she didn’t know. But they were dates for the night regardless, might as well make fun while she could. Though this feeling was getting oddly normal.

At least she laughed at his words and wasn't freaked out by them. But, then she said she was honored to be his 'mistress' and his face turned the color of beets. She winked, too, which just made him let out a nervous little laugh. I took all his concentration not to drop his drink. "I'm trying to think of something clever to say," he choked out, then cleared his throat. "Like 'don't mistresses do more than just dance with their men' or something. But something less degrading!" he corrected. He finally set his empty glass aside, and tried to get some confidence in him as he moved to put his arm around her waist instead of having their arms linked. "But I'll just say this - you're the most beautiful mistress a guy could have," he laughed a little. Not because he wasn't serious, but because he knew he probably sounded like a dork. @annelise

River made the comment about mistresses doing more than dancing with their men and Lucy, again, couldn’t help but give a giggle. “well what would you want your mistress to do?” she asked. She couldn’t very well tell him that she was literally a professional mistress, but then again, maybe she could. He told her all of that about his family and his marriage. She felt like she could trust River. Which was weird. She didn’t trust anyone. She only halfway trusted her own twin. He took his arm away and moved it to wrap around her waist while saying that she was the most beautiful mistress a guy could have. “that might be the best compliment I’ve ever gotten.” she teased. Though she let herself step a bit closer to him when he wrapped his arm around her. This was fun. And definitely not what she was expecting.

She wasn't ever offended even when he thought he had said something insensitive. She asked what he would want his mistress to do, and since he'd finally calmed down a little he felt he was able to play the game a bit. "Well, the first thing would be physical affection. I get none of that at home. Isn't that was mistresses are for? To be better than what you have at home?" he chuckled a little, "you're already way past the bar just by linking arms with me," he suggested. She said that him calling her the most beautiful mistress was the best compliment she had ever gotten. Well, might be. "Might? Guess I'll have to try a little harder until you're sure?" he suggested.
His eyes fell from hers to his lips for a split second when she moved closer, and then back to her eyes again. "Anyway -" he started again, his voice a little small, "I feel like most artists have a muse that is technically their mistress, not their wife. So since I'm a writer then this is fitting, right?"

As River spoke, Lucy couldn’t help but feel a little sorry for him, though she didn’t let it show. He was a nice boy, good family, and overall very attractive. How his wife wasn’t interested in him, she wasn’t sure. But she was happy to fill the roll, even if just for the night. If River was looking for someone, he had certainly come to the right place. She set her hand gently on his back, between his shoulders and just below his neck and rubbed him gently there. Physical affection definitely wasn’t hard. “how’s this?” she asked softly, letting the words barely whisper out of her mouth. All the time that she had known River Flint, she had seen this coming. She bit her lip at the comment about her being his muse. “a writer and an actor. How stereotypical of us.” she couldn’t help but tease. “just make sure I get the leading role in your plays. ”

She placed her hand on his back and gently rubbed between his shoulders and he couldn't help but chuckle a little, nervously but also with mirth. "That's nice," he admitted quietly too, but his entire body tensed up. Not because it was bad, but because he was afraid to enjoy it? He wasn't entirely sure. He let out a breath and rolled his shoulders back, trying to chill out again. She said it was stereotypical of a writer and an actor to be together and he nodded, chucking again. "Oh yeah, of course. The problem now is writing a play someone will actually want to put up somewhere, right?" he explained. "Guess I have to write some scenes where you're the center of attention and all. You know, for my sake," he laughed again.

Lucy noticed him roll his shoulders back even though he said that it was nice and she raised her eyebrows. “you can’t have a mistress and want her to touch you if you don’t want to be touched, Hun.” she explained. Though she understood it a little. They were in a very public place with people who knew that he was married and that she wasn’t the one he was married too. But they were also across the ocean. Who cared? No one was watching them that she knew of. She felt like they were both aware enough of their surroundings to know if they were being watched. “maybe you’ll need some experiences to write from that I can help you with. she suggested.

"Sorry, sorry. You're right," he said, wincing a little in embarrassment at his own reaction to her touch. He did like it, but that was also part of the reason why he was having a difficult time with it. It made sense in his head, even if he wasn't sure how to articulate those thoughts. He didn't care if people saw, that wasn't a concern of his. It was more just not being used to loving touch from anyone in his life other than Liv, his best friend, but even she wasn't really the touchy feely type. He and Liam were close, and he was close to his sisters too but all of them had been raised in a world of little physical affection. As they spoke about writing, she suggested that he needed some experiences to write from that he could help her with. "What do you mean? Like adventures to write about?"

Lucy, weirdly enough, was pretty good at dealing with this sort of thing. It was part of her job. People would hire her who weren’t used to being touched or didn’t really like being, but it was all part of selling it. She was a hired date. Though it was a lot easier to fool muggles. “just relax. You like me, right? It’s okay to like this.” so River liked her. It gave her a weird jolt of confidence knowing he liked her. She wondered if he had for a while or if he just started to recently after they started to see more of each other. She shrugged. “what do you want to write about?”

She told him to relax, reminding him that it was okay to like her touch. He nodded, "yeah, I do like you," he confirmed softly, but confidently. He leaned into her touch a little and tightened his hold on her waist just a bit. It felt nice, to be out with someone. The last person he'd really been romantically involved with was Simralin, but that was an entirely different situation. She basically cornered him and snogged him without his really being able to protest. It was same in the sense that he was still attached to Vi at the time, though. But back then they were just betrothed. She asked what he wanted to write about and he shrugged, "about me, I guess. About love," he cleared his throat, not wanting to sound sappy, "about people who need someone who understands them., I guess. And I don't mean the typical outcasts," he continued. "I mean the ones who don't want to be shamed for doing what they think is right," like he was doing by marrying Vi and working with the Purifiers. @lucyweasley

He admitted that he did like her and Lucy smirked a little at that. She wasn’t sure why him telling her that sparked quite a lot of extra confidence in her. And Lucy was already a very confident women. “Good.” she nodded. But she didn’t say it back. Partly because she was still shocked about the whole thing, and partly because admitting that just wasn’t her. She didn’t admit that sort of thing, she rarely even told Anna that she loved her or showed affection like that. Lucy was confident in romantic affection, but actual emotions? Gross. No thank you.
He explained that he wanted to write about himself and about love and about wanting to be understood. She nodded. She knew what he meant. She was doing what she thought was right by working with the purifiers and she knew that he was too. Taking advantage of her extra burst of confidence, Lucy turned to her side, pressed herself against him, set her hand on his cheek and kissed him. After she pulled away, she let her lips linger by his, “you have to experience love to write about it.” she whispered.

She said it was good that he liked her and that was that. As they got to talking about writing though, she turned toward him. He turned toward her a little too, wondering what she was going to say next. Then her body was close to his, her hand on his cheek, and she kissed him right on the lips. His eyes somehow were able to close quickly enough to enjoy it for a second before she pulled back just a little. She said he had to experience love to write about it, and he kept his eyes close while he answered, "love is more than just a kiss," he spoke softly too, "but thank you either way," he smiled. He then kissed her, surprised that he had the ability to do so, wrapping his other arm around her waist too. Then he let go completely, taking a big step back. "Love is also more than dancing, but we should do that," he suggestd, nodding toward the dance floor and backing to it. @lucyweasley

River said love was more than just a kiss and Lucy nodded, “but where better place to start?” He was already becoming her favorite client and he wasn’t even a client. She was doing this on her own time for her own pleasure. That was a first. He kissed her again and she gave into it, letting him. Maybe she’d let him call the shots for now. Maybe he needed that. She couldn’t really see his wife letting him be in charge like this. He let her go and took and step back and she let her eyes follow his movements as he spoke and nodded to the dance floor. “Yes. Let’s dance.” She agreed.

She suggested that kissing was a good place to start, and he couldn't say that he disagreed. Somehow he found himself always attracted to people like that. The ones who were willing to go physical sooner than he expected. Maybe he just had a trustworthy kind of face that made them trust him sooner or something. Or, the more obvious answer, Simralin and Lucy had one thing in common - they took what they wanted, and we're unapologetic about it. Maybe for a night he could be like that too. Well, maybe a little more reserved than her... But still.
Soon they were on the dance floor, and it showed that they both preferred to dance with one another in a more adult sense, rather than jumping up and down like kids. When a high tempo beat started, River listened for a moment before turning to his partner. "Could be a tango, I think, if we wanted to try it?"

She let River take her onto the dance floor but she still felt a little out of place for even being there. She had never thought of herself as old, she still didn’t. But this was clearly a student party and Lucy definitely felt the disconnect that the one year she had been out of school gave her. She wondered if River felt it too even though he was still in school. He was more mature for his age. He was married after all. He suggested they could tango and she nodded with a little shrug of her shoulders. “Sure. I can hear that. whatever you want. she agreed. She held her hand out for him to take to lead her into the dance.
