"Tell Dr. Nate that Gale sent you, and he still owes me for the mushrooms. Except that it takes you a while to reach the clinic, and by the time you do your fever is spiking, and so instead of the requisite message you instead tell the poor soul who greets you that 'A gale'a m'shrooms sent me cus'a my hands.'" - Zephyr in Oh help me, please doctor, I'm damaged
She keeps her eyes on Jax, observing the reaction. The rolling eyes and the stammering and the smirk remains on her face. She just can't help it. Being a flirtatious tease. And it was only that: The only intention being to be playful and have some fun with it. She gives Jax a more of a softer smile when he notes down her order.
The attention then shifts back towards Uldren and she watches their silent conversation with amusement. It reminds her of the friendly banter that could go on between the workers at the bar and it has her chuckle quietly as Jax finally takes note of Uldren's order. She gives the server one last smile before once again focusing on Uldren when they are alone.
"Yeah, seems to me I did." She leans in towards him with her playful smirk on her lips, her voice lowering towards more of a whisper. "Picked you up from a booth too, if I recall." Hinting back to Uldren's own booth in the Neon Alley, where she had given him the note with the name of the bar. It wasn't exactly the same as giving someone your number, but he had been persistent with his visits to the bar again and again anyway until tonight when they had finally run into each other again.

Amusement sparks along Ukdren’s face at her low whisper, the way she leans toward him and the smirk that plays on her lips. It’s reflected on his own face, one that has him matching her as he adjusts to lean forward too. “I guess you did.” He offers with a playful expression, shifting slightly in the seat as his arms rest atop the table, hands clasped in front of him.
“So who’s really capturing who, then?” This comes with a playful tease, a wink before he leans back, arms unfolding as he tilts his head toward her awaiting the answer, causing a few strands of red tipped hair to fall into his face. Either way it’s a perfect answer and it isn’t like Uldren will complain with anything else, but it’s too fun to not poke his enjoyment at it.
He leans forward as well and her eyes focus on his and her fingers drum slowly on the table close to where he rests his hands. A soft huff leaves her and she remains in her position after Uldren leans back again. The fingers go from drumming to pick at an edge of the folded menu and she tilts her head to the other side as she regards him with growing amusement.
"Maybe we both are capturing the other" Her foot finds his under the table and slowly strokes up his leg towards his knee, while she keeps her eyes fixed on his. "Or, maybe it was part of my plan all along to let myself be captured and you just thought you did it yourself." She teases back and pulls her foot away again, leaning back in her side of the booth as well with a more sly look on her face. One hand moving up to adjust how the chain lies against her neck and collarbones again.

He’s certainly captured by the explanation she starts to give, drawn in more as she draws them toward a physical connection beneath the table, alongside the withdrawal and toying with the necklace he’d made along her neck. Uldren can’t help but to huff out a laugh, eyes following the movement of the chain and the gemstone, before rising back toward her face as he leans in again, arms folding across the table again before one hand reaches out far enough to run his fingertips along the fingers of hers that toy with the edge of the menu.
“Yeah? Are you the spider and you have little ol’ me caught in this masterful web?” He teases her back, lifting the hand that touches her own to prop his head onto. “I’m honored.” He flashes her another amused wink right about the time Jax arrives to drop off some waters alongside two glasses of a nice, refreshing fruit punch type of drink. A soft “thanks” is offered to Jax, but his gaze remains glued to Ira.
The way Uldren picks up on and responds to her flirtatious and playful teasing just makes it so much easier to keep at it. And she would be lying if she said she did not find it immensely fun and intriguing. Her gaze remains locked on his and she notes how his eyes flickers between her movements before he looks back to her face. She gives him a sly smile, her fingers lifting ever so slightly to touch against his in return while his hand remains close.
"Mhm, exactly. You've got me all figured out." She responds softly. Her eyes only leave him for a short moment as Jax shows up at their table again to leave the water and drinks. She gives the server a small smile as thanks, then looks back to Uldren. Her foot moving to nudge against his again. "I'm happy to hear, because I'm not sure I feel like letting you out of the web again anytime soon." She responds with the same soft tone as before, but her smile turns close to a grin and that more hungry spark hints in her eyes again as she runs her gaze slowly across him.

Their hands touch gently and Uldren can’t keep the twitch of the smirk from his face as he watches her, listens to the soft tone of her voice. He keeps his head propped, leg shifting to tangle hers with his, his fingertips rising to run along her hand again. “Guess I should get cozy, hm?” He suggests with that playful gleam to his gaze, one that doesn’t dampen as he preens under her attention once again.
It doesn’t keep him from looking her up and down either, the green gaze of his dragging along each part of her he can see from the table up as his leg hooks around her own a bit more, as if entrapping her himself. “Not that I have any complaints about getting captured by a beautiful woman.” His lips twist into that playful smirk again, his head still propped on his hand.
He tangles their legs together and she does the same with their fingers when his hand returns to his. "Mh, I think you should." She hums in agreement and the smirk slowly melts into a softer smile. Her eyes focus back on his and had it not been for the table being in the way, she would have pulled herself up close to him. Her fingers even closing a bit more around his.
She keeps her eyes locked on his while his gaze move across her and she takes a slow, deeper breath. It is as if they were back in a bubble again, like at the bar. Just with a different kind of energy, but she doesn't mind it at all. She feels like she could stay like this for a long time. Entangled in both their legs and hands, but also by Uldren's green eyes as they watch her. She can't keep herself from just smiling.
His comment breaks her out of it for a second, however. The compliment has her look down, pressing her lips together in a try to not smile even more and some colour flashes on her face as she looks back up with a quiet chuckle. "Guess we'll just have to keep each other captured then." Her fingers closes more around his and she pulls his hand an inch closer to herself across the table.

Their fingers intertwine and using his free hand, Uldren keeps his head propped up as he watches her, keeping his leg hooked around her own, keeping them as close as they could be given the table between them. And he wonders idly if perhaps picking the same side of the table as her would have been a better choice, but perhaps keeping some amount of distance between them is good.
He makes his comment and she looks down, breaking their eye contact as he offers a small smile in response, squeezing her hand lightly before his rough calloused fingers stroke along the back of her hand in gentle movements. “Guess we will.” He says before it’s cut off in a slight smirk as she pulls his hand closer. He pushes it a few extra inches over toward her, extending his arm as far as it’s comfortable to do.
And shortly after that, their food arrives, with Jax offering a small and easy smile, placing down Ira’s meal before placing down Uldren’s as well. ”There ya go, lovebirds.” He says without much else, drifting away from the table once he knows they don’t need much else.
Keeping separated by the table might be a good choice in a way. Putting on a heated show in each place they visited tonight might be a bit much, no matter how tempting it is. However, there wouldn't be a table in the way the whole night. So for now, she will have to just satisfy herself with looks and holding hands (and legs). Her own fingers stroking gently over Uldren's hand in return after his hand is pushed closer and she slowly starts to lose herself in his eyes again.
Until they are interrupted, that is.
When Jax shows up with the food she almost starts. Almost. There is a very faint twitch in her hand when her mind is snapped out of the little longing bubble it had gone into and she straightens up a bit more in her seat. Jax's comment sends her gaze down into the table for another couple of seconds and she doesn't look back up until the server has moved on. She clears her throat and glances at Uldren, offering him a small smile. Her hand still holds his and she makes no movement yet to let go and pull hers away. Unless Uldren decides he wants his hand back, that is.
After throwing another glance after Jax, she leans forward on the table towards Uldren and lowers her voice again. "I do think he's a lil' bit jealous, yeah." And the teasing smirk finds its way back to her lips. Any hint of shyness disappearing once more.

It is an abrupt surprise when Jax shows up, but Uldren doesn’t let it phase him as he watches Ira. Her hand twitches with it and all Uldren offers is another quiet thanks, but makes no move to take his hand out of hers either. Instead, he watches her lean over the table, smirking slightly at her comment before he huffs a quiet laugh. “Oh yeah.” He pulls his gaze away from her to glance back toward Jax, head down in his work.
It isn’t like Uldren and he had done anything. Perhaps he simply was jealous Uldren had found a girl before he had. Or maybe was jealous of Ira. He can’t particularly tell. Either way, Uldren settles in and pulls his plate a little closer, keeping his hand in Ira’s for a bit longer as he grabs a fork to start pulling the crawfish apart. “He’ll get over it.” He offers before popping the bite of food into his mouth.
