[Wow she... sure likes being in his zone today. ...Or maybe she's always in his zone? Is it really more than usual or is he just... noticing it more... at the moment...]
H-heh, for real?
[He carefully takes the drink in both of his top hands, the two bottom ones tapping their fingertips against his fuzzy thighs.]
If I didn't know better, I'd think I was getting some kinda special treatment or somethin'.
[He snickers, trying to play off his nervousness with a joke--]
You're not playin' favorites with your employees now are ya, Miss Fey?
His heart is still hammering... rabbits are known to have pretty fast heartbeats but this is a little out of hand. He wonders if she can hear it with her bunny ears. Or...maybe he's just paranoid.]
H-heh. S-so, uh. So.. how-- how's it feel? For you. To. Like, be a bunny and stuff. It's kinda weird, right?
[She might not be able to hear his heartbeat, but she can certainly still tell he's acting... a little strangely. Normally they're able to converse pretty easily— but now, even, he's switched topics so fast. Almost like he's afraid to hear he isn't her favorite— or, maybe, scared to hear he is.
It's cute. He's cute. And stupid. And comfortable. Even if he's acting so nervous, he's comfortable.]
Not really. I was a pooka for a little while before you showed up! Like, right before, actually.
[Picking her own glass up, she downs the liquid all in one go like it's nothing— a feat she is certainly not capable of while not a demon. But when you burn so hot (hot enough to burn off some of that fuel, perhaps?) the sting of alcohol goes down as smooth as warm water.]
Well, okay, it's a little weird, being two different monsters at the same time.
[He blinks, staring wide-eyed for a moment. He hasn't actually had the chance to pet her, now that he thinks about it... but like, that would have been a weird thing to do without her permission, right?]
Yeah, right... Some people don't like to be pet. Adri, for example--
[He snickers, then downs the rest of his beverage, reaching to put it on the coffee table-- only to find his arms are much too short. So. He'll. Just hold it, he guesses.]
H-heh. You do look super soft, actually... Your fur's all shiny and plush-lookin'. You make a great pooka.
[Ah, he's always so eager to give compliments. She had a few more for him, but hey, if he's going to be so generous.
With no ceremony or preparation, Maya pushes down on the seat of the couch to shift herself closer to him once again, and as if that weren't enough, she swings her legs to lay them over Hanna's lap, crossing her arms over them as if in an offering.]
[Now, Maya isn't exactly quick on the uptake herself, but she can't say she'd really doubt someone who was sitting in her lap on this subject. She wiggles her arms in front of him, as if to reassert herself.]
You're gonna miss out on some soft fuzzy action if you don't!
[Come on, Hanna... It's just her arms! Chill out!]
H-heh, okay.
[He reaches out with the hands not currently occupied by his glass, rubbing little circles on her forearms before beginning to stroke up and down then, ooh-ing and aah-ing all the way.]
Oh, wow... Yeah. That's nice.
[He hates how the first thing he thinks is that he could sleep on this fluff forever. Just curl up in it all snug and be warm for the rest of ever. And how it would be especially good if it smelled like her, too.
Because that's a weird thing to think about your very good friend and boss-- ]
[And what very professional bestie behavior they're engagin in, all close like this, with her practically in his lap and everything. She lets him pet her arms, but is very quick to turn the tide after he's gotten to touch her;]
My turn~
[She announces before taking one of his arms in both of hers, sliding soft paws down his forearms until she can hold his hand, playing with his fingers like any inquisitive kid.]
I knew it! You're like one of those flocked toy figures...
[And before Hanna can protest, she pulls his hand to her face, so that she can rub her cheek against the back of his hand.]
[That sunburn is getting pretty bright isn't it. He sure feels warm. Maybe it's just that a whole warm demon is sitting in his lap... Yeah. That's gotta be it.
He's just gonna bring that extra set of hands to his face so he can dump some of the remaining ice in his mouth and chomp on it. To cool off and to give him a minute to think on how the hell he's gonna respond to this without sounding like a total dweeb.
Unfortunately the "Mhmm!" That comes out does end up sounding like a whimper that a total dweeb would make.]
H-haha, it's kinda velvety, right? [Hhh.] Y-your face is real soft, too.
[She is warm, to his credit. Her face is warm, her hand are warm, her legs— no to mention the part of her underside that is against his leg right now. Not that poor, innocent Hanna would even notice that, right?
It's even tougher to ignore the way she hugs his arm to her chest with one of her own, as if to keep him from pulling it away, only to reach up with the other hand and pat Hanna's cheek.]
Yours is soft too! Though, you're still looking pretty flushed~ You're supposed to be relaxing!
[She gives his cheek the gentlest little tug, sticking her tongue out, as if to show she means no harm. It's not ridicule! She's just having fun with her favorite pet. Uh, employee. Yeah.]
[He stares at her for what feels like forever, slack-jawed and stupid. He can't believe she'd ask him such a question point blank. He also can't believe she's pretty much sitting in his lap, touching his face, and somehow keeps getting closer and closer. Really, there's not that much more space between them.

Me? Playing favorites?
You're gonna make me think you don't know me at all!

H-ha, yeah, I guess after you've been here as long as you have, you've probably been a little bit of everything by now, huh...
[Nervous slurp.]
This is, uh, definitely different from kelpie. Kinda nice, actually. Eeeven if I super didn't miss being small. Wings totally make up for it, though.
no subject
[Her own flutter gently behind her, expressing her excitement about it.]
I guess that's to be expected of something that's both a pooka and a fairy, though.
no subject
[His little bunny foot twitches a bit at the compliment, his wings giving a flutter in return.]
S-so do you-- I mean. You look really cute. I think I already said that when you were just a demon, but like...
[He gestures at her whole... self.]
This is... extra cute. You look... real, uh. Real good with the ears. And stuff. [Ahem.]
no subject
[Maya grins so bright, so joyfully, it's clear she really means it. She's happy like this, and it shows.]
And I'm super soft! Don't you think? Well, I guess most pookas are, but, you can't just pet everybody, you know??
no subject

[He clears his throat and puts his available hands down on her knees, hoping that she won't try to move just because he mentioned he was too warm.]
I-it's not a bad thing, though. I-it's nice! I'm totally relaxed.
[Nevermind that he's pretty sure his heart is gonna jump right out of his throat and make a run for it at the next available opportunity.]
no subject
[She leans in closer, the exact opposite of moving away. Isn't that great? Her next question probably isn't, considering he's a faerie;]
Hanna, do I make you nervous?
1/3
[He stares at her for what feels like forever, slack-jawed and stupid. He can't believe she'd ask him such a question point blank. He also can't believe she's pretty much sitting in his lap, touching his face, and somehow keeps getting closer and closer. Really, there's not that much more space between them.
And she's... doing it on purpose?]
2/3
What? No! Of course n--
3/3
[It feels like someone took an ice pick to his eye socket. He winces, lowering his head and bringing a hand to his temple with a groan.]
A-augh-- Yikes that hurt. T-talk about a brain freeze--
[Yes, a delayed brain freeze. Because that's how that works--]
no subject
OBJECTION!
That was no brain freeze! I know fairies hate lying!
That was a bona-fide lie!
no subject
Did you seriously just pull a Phoenix--
[Deflect deflect deflect--]
no subject
[Too bad, Hanna. She's stuck on this point! Crossing her arms under her chest, she pouts.]
And here I thought it was just the kelpie thing.
You don't still think I'm going to eat you, right?
no subject
I don't think you're going to eat me.
