Fancy Meeting You Here

(While neither thread is intended to begin a larger glowfic, the Emily in this thread is specifically intended to be the Emily from http://glowfic.dreamwidth.org/18547.html)

Oh, look, Milliways!
Emily takes out a notebook and scribbles down the question she had for her professor so she won't forget it if she ends up spending a lot of time or is otherwise distracted, then strolls cheerfully into the bar.
"Hi, Bar! Can I get some kind of milkshake or something, please?"

"I know! He was very sweet. He has such pleasant facial expressions, and he was quite the gentleman. And he definitely...you know how some people just have a kind of emotional magnetism, he was like that, but with niceness. I'm really not coming up with a better way to explain it."

[unmarred]

"I think I might know what you mean."

[iamnotpolaris]

More blushing. "And he--no, you're his cousin never mind, sorry."

[unmarred]

"I am his cousin and therefore...?"

[iamnotpolaris]

"And therefore you probably do not want to hear details of certain other ways in which he is nice of which I am aware," she admits.

[unmarred]

"Oh, that."

[iamnotpolaris]

More blushing. Emily did not blush this much at the time, what is going on.

[unmarred]

"Ivan is very fond of girls."

[iamnotpolaris]

"I noticed."

[unmarred]

"It's endearing."

[iamnotpolaris]

"It really is. Especially when you're a girl."

[unmarred]

"I'll have to take your word for that part, being his cousin and not especially girl-like."

[iamnotpolaris]

"Yes, quite!"

[unmarred]

Giggle.

[iamnotpolaris]

"I have no idea how long it's been in your universe or I'd ask if you knew how he'd been doing since I saw him last."

[unmarred]

"I don't, anyway. I haven't seen him since I left Earth, very shortly after the seawall incident."

[iamnotpolaris]

"Oh well. I don't think he was intending to tell anyone about Milliways--it's a bit of a fantastic story--but if you mention you met me here next time you see him he might make an amusing eep again."

[unmarred]

"Which would be delightful."

[iamnotpolaris]

"I know, right?"

[unmarred]

[iamnotpolaris]

"Shame I won't be around to see the look on his face, but you can't have everything."

[unmarred]

"If I see you again afterward I will try to describe it as accurately as possible."

[iamnotpolaris]

"Thank you, I appreciate it!"

[unmarred]

Smile!

[iamnotpolaris]

Smile!
She's not exhibiting attraction to him--whether because she doesn't find him attractive or because he's Ivan's cousin--but she definitely likes him.
