Aphrodite's face grew red at the feel of Adley's warm hand patting her on the leg, all she wanted was for that hand to stay there and maybe pull her close. Though it didn't happen, Adley's words made Aphrodite look at her and she smiled..."I love our time together as well, I wouldn't have gone out in a storm to see just anyone." she said finally her eyes innocent yet showing something more behind why she had actually come. Aphrodite's hand moved over to Adley's leg, if she wouldn't leave her hand on Aphrodite, Aphrodite would just have to leave her hand on Adley. She left her hand a bit high up on her leg, around mid thigh. Eye's looking at Adley, though not in her eyes. All Aphrodite could see was her lips, when Adley spoke about how soft a woman's lips were compared to a man's..it drove Aphrodite insane. "I...I wouldn't know... I have never kissed a woman." she said her face showing she would clearly want to though.
She was losing track of everything, time, her emotions, sooner or later Aphrodite would just have to go for it. Though something was holding her back. The simple though of maybe Adley was just being a really good friend and talking to her. Even when Adley had been calling her special and amazing, Aphrodite had even started leaning in slightly though she managed to pull back hopefully before it was noticed. She wasn't ready for something like that...yet. It was a big leap to put yourself out there and Aphrodite was having a hard time being able to do it, to many instances were going through her mind that ended badly.
When Adley mentioned hot chocolate though, Aphrodite smiled and nodded, "That sounds like an amazing idea." she said knowing she had only mentioned wine in hops the alcohol, while not as effective to elves, would help calm her nerves. Though Adley was excited and Aphrodite noticed she hadn't said no to them snuggling under a blanket together. "How about I go get the hot chocolate for us and you can get a blanket for us to get under when I return." she said not realizing her voice had come out a bit playful at the end like it might lead to something more.
Aphrodite had seen Adley's playful, innocent look and it made her just want to lean over right then...go all or nothing. Her hand had even started to move up her leg slightly as if preparing for it. Though suddenly there was a knock on the door and Aphrodite's eyes shot towards it and her hand moved away. "I will get it." she said smiling.
Getting up from being so close to her friend/the woman she had feelings for, was hard though Aphrodite managed. Going over to the door she kept her hips moving, maybe Adley would notice. She thought and pictured Adley just pushing her against a wall and kissing her. Though the thought was a pleasant one, Adley didn't seem like the kind to do something like that.
Opening the door she saw it was just the innkeeper making sure everything was alright, apparently lightning had struck close to the building so they were going around checking guest's. "Everything is fine, though could we get 2 cups of hot chocolate sent up please." she said with a normal friendly smile. With her skill Aphrodite could easily tell the woman's demeanor changed as if Aphrodite had annoyed her. Aphrodite didn't know that the lady was a Harper and was really coming to check on Adley who hadn't been seen in awhile since Aphrodite had shown up. The lady was to short to look over Aphrodite's shoulder though, "Is Miss Adley alright as well?" the landlady asked curiously.
Aphrodite moved to the side.
