Only when there's alcohol involved.

...As, ah, as far as noticing goes, I mean.

[originallutece]

I don't know about that.

[She certainly knows what she's saying, though, as she murmurs all this. She's still smiling, but there's something a little distant in her gaze.]

You don't think someone is more willing to indulge in things the later it gets?

[roseblooms]

...I think decisions come easier when it's late. Something about the cover of darkness makes them...easier.

[But he's watching her now, carefully, tracking her expression.]

It's why people are advised to sleep on a notion, when it's something serious. Isn't it...?

[originallutece]

Yes. That, and time helps add perspective.

[A beat.]

. . . For example. I don't think I would have asked you over the first time if it hadn't been nighttime. Not because it was a bad idea, but because my own reservations were lowered.

[roseblooms]

[Hmmm.]

And would I be here now? If it weren't nighttime...?

[originallutece]

Yes.

[Now that they've done this a few times? Of course.]

At this point . . . yes, Christopher. I would have asked you over at any point.
