Do you go for the Rulebook?

Be patient and listen

You push the pencil and Rulebook away, but not too far.

"Good boy," the redhead commends and saunters across to you.

You are unable to resist ogling her build. She has well-rounded hips, a firm waist, and generous bust. Still, you also keep an eye are on her book. You don't know much about yours and hers could either be her notebook for doodling in or could erase your existence if you touched it for all you know.

"Seriously though, you might be... well, we'll see," she says and finishes her coffee. She tosses her cup to you and you reflexively catch it. Like a cheetah, the ginger uses your preoccupation to grab the pencil, push your Rulebook farther away with it, and then tucks the pencil down her shirt.

You chuckle in chagrin. "I... I don't suppose I could buy you a drink?" you offer and hold up her cup. You wonder if she notices your hand tremble a little.

Her smile returns. "I don't think your old enough to get me a proper drink. I mean, unless you were to have changed the rules," she replies, but takes the cup away anyway. Perhaps just to further disarm you. "I guess your at enough of a disadvantage. I'm Kelpie." She extended her hand.

Though you're rattled, you try not make it obvious. You take her hand and gave a solid shake. "Truly? Did you have New Age parents?" you ask. You might not charm her, but you don't feel like assaulting her or that it would be wise.

"Truth be told it is a nickname, but I'm known more for it than my birth one," she confesses.

"Michael. Though you probably know that," you say. With your lucky pencil resting between her jugs, it is extra hard to not look at her cleavage. You hope you'll get it back if this goes well.

Kelpie bits her lip for a moment and then offers her hand again. "I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours," she proposes. You blink some and then understand her.

"Do I have your word their won't be any tricks?" you ask.

Her face turns grave. "I swear on everything. It will be a brief exchange. No tricks," she replies.
