[ She lets out a quiet sigh, laughing under her breath at his question; the look on his face. She glances down, momentarily second-guessing her next few steps; the words she wants to say.

It's a new thing for her, loving multiple people in this way and being able to without negative repercussion. She thought she'd never love anyone the way she had loved Warner until she met Emmett. The same had been true until she had come to the city.

What if he doesn't feel that way, though? What if she makes everything that is perfect awkward? What if she ruins it all? ]

Kazu...

[ Elle's expression falters slightly, eyebrows drawing together as she looks more concerned now. You didn't just blurt out feelings and emotions. Not unless you meant it. That's how Elle saw it; that's how she works.

She looks back up at him, tucking wavy blonde hair behind her ear and gives a half-smile. She's going to tread carefully at first. ]

...I really appreciate you. Care about you. [ A small sigh. A huff. Frustrated with herself, briefly. ]

And I'm just really falling for you. I love you.

[ Why does she look worried? That's not good. It's only that she's not pulling away that keeps him from starting to fuss, before he realizes that her little furrowed brow is nerves.

There's still a few moments needed for him to process the actual words, his only response stunned blinking... until his lips twitch up into a sheepish little smile. It's a good smile. Kazu lifts his free hand to brush his fingers against her cheek fondly. ]

I thought this was a booty call. It's better, hm?

[ She leans into his touch, her hand coming to rest against his. Elle turns her head enough to press a kiss against his fingers, caring little for any roughness or imperfections. ]

I think you mean a Kazooty call.

[ Words are slightly muffled as she speaks before turning back to look at him with a bright grin. She's not going to hide her laugh because it's an adorable nickname and user name. One she really is never going to forget. ]

It's definitely better, though. With everything happening - [ That does make her frown with concern. There's only so much she can do to help others and Elle Woods doesn't like feeling so cornered. ]

I'm just trying to make sure I tell others how I feel about them. It's good to do, you know. Positive affirmations. Praise. Rewards.

[ She's sliding a hand up along his chest, chewing on her bottom lip with anticipation even if she knows what's under all those pieces of clothing.

Maybe they should move out of the foyer? It's really an afterthought. ]

Oh no don't make me like that stupid name.

[ Amusement sneaks into his tone despite his best efforts to sound stern -- it does sound cute when she says it out loud, especially with her laughter. Kazu's always loved her laugh, her smile. Even more so when they're directed at him because something he said or did made her happy.

When her smile falters a moment later he brushes his thumb over her bottom lip to tug it free, curling his fingers under her chin to tilt it up towards him. ]

You are braver than I am, I've always known that. But the reward for anything I might have done to make you feel this way is getting to be near you.

[ He definitely doesn't care they're still in the foyer, and is more focused on getting the words out right at the moment than anything else. Even than how she's touching him, though he hasn't missed that.

Goddamnit, Kazooty call is going to stick. ]

[ There’s little else she can say in response to such sweet words and Elle, instead, reaches up for another kiss. Biting and heated, filled with overwhelming emotion. She lets herself lean back against the front door and pulls him along with her. She wants him closer, needs him closer really.

But…manners. ]

Did you want that drink?
