[Wilson knows what's going on today, but that doesn't stop him from going in to work. So he moves as swiftly as he can through the streets on his way both to and from the hospital, knowing all too well that even that probably won't keep him entirely out of the line of fire kisses.

Still, it'll probably manage to cut back on the kisses he receives in transit. And at work-- well, there's only so much he can do. He does need to be there, after all, and he's not about to turn his back on a responsibility.]



[ooc: Feel free to hit him up on his walk to or from work, or at the hospital itself. :D]

[Yeah... that will help, immediately after he freaks out because he's how old and she's how old and really, it's hard not to feel like a dirty old man.

Eventually, anyway. Not now, because now his cursed mind is focused on delivering that sweet, lingering kiss - it's very important to make sure it lasts for just the right amount of time, you know, and that it's just the precise amount of pressure.]

[This really is just the perfect amount of everything. She's entirely pleased when she pulls back. At least for a moment before blinking slowly at him, registering what just happened again.]

(OOC: lol, that reminded me of Data. <3)

[dr_conscience]

[Oh god. When he pulls back and slowly regains some control over himself, his jaw goes slack, eyes widen, and his arms are gesturing some manner of not-entirely-coordinated emphasis as he stammers into an apology.]

I-- I am so... so sorry, I didn't-- [sigh. stop. process. and now, with due annoyance:] Curse.


(OOC: Ahaah! Well, at least he wasn't calculating a dozen other things at the time XD)

[deadly_legacy]

[Oh, that's not a flattering response. She looks at him a little cautiously.]

I know. It's all right.

(OOC: TRUE!)

[dr_conscience]

[And then he softens, getting his arms still and down at his sides.]

Sorry, it's... [and he smiles, gently] ...not you. At all. I promise.

[It's just the dirty old man vibe crawling on him.]

[deadly_legacy]

[She manages a soft smile at him, wanting to reassure him, though she's not entirely sure what's wrong.]

Are you seeing someone? [Maybe she would be mad?]

[dr_conscience]

[The smile lingers a bit as he shakes his head, now a bit rueful.]

No-- no, I just... I can't help but feel guilty about this one, even if it is a curse.

[deadly_legacy]

You don't think it was my first, do you? [A little questioning and a little teasing.]

[dr_conscience]

No. I just think I'm slightly past the age where I can kiss a girl your age and not feel a little odd about it.

[Which is as close he's going to get to saying "I'm old."]

[deadly_legacy]

[She laughs softly.] Is that what you're worried about?

I think a girl my age could do much worse than to kiss you.
