[ suddenly shapeshifter on your communicator!!!
in some grass with a hellhound but at least she's mostly lucid-looking today ]
I've been dreaming about you.

I've been dreaming about you.
[Ahah. Eric's been wondering when the dreams would start. He's not going to let that on just yet, though.]
Oh? [the smallest of smirks]
Oh? [the smallest of smirks]
Lots of dreams, lately. All of them nice, not all of them with you.
[ But she grins, teeth showing. ]
The ones with you are more than 'nice'.

[Eric leans to the side, resting his chin on his hand.] Why don't you tell me about them? [He puts his best interested face on, never mind that he knows exactly what he's asking her to describe to him. Alright, so there's a little smirking around the edges as well. He's pleased with the results, after all.]
It was warm. Wet. In the showers, after the jumps -- like how we'd used to talk. Nothing between us.
[ There's a bit of a smirk and Jaye's been playing this game long enough to catch it, to slide some hair behind an ear and tilt her head, expose her neck. "Warm" and "wet" weren't the first words she said on accident. ]
Just skin, water and steam.

No chickens? [He remembers not to say cow, that would probably make her sad and that's really not what he's going for right now.]
That is a treat.
[Yeah, no, he's not missing the emphasis on those words. He wishes this were a dream that they had shared. It's been a while since he's had sex now, which is a tragedy.] Sounds like a dream that I wouldn't mind recreating... [Never mind that the showers are a public area, does Eric look like he cares about such things?]

No chickens. [ Good call, Eric. ]
Mmm. Wasn't the only dream I had with you in it, but it would be a good one to start with.
[ One hand slides through her hair, trails to her collarbone. ]

[ considering certain dreams taking a sharp left turn into a different kind of good and katherine's few dropped hints about why exactly people like being bitten so much, neal's decided a 'what the fuck, though' is in order. using a bit of his actual precious real tape he's stuck a sealed envelope on eric's door.
inside is nude sketch done in charcoal of eric laying on his stomach, book in his hands; it's more suggestive than actually sexual because that would be tacky, but the note scrawled in elegant cursive below is slightly more to the point: ]
Forget to mention something?
-NC
[ this is the dude you helped out, eric. why. ]

[When Eric finds the sketch, he's both amused and also a little impressed. He appreciates art and he appreciates his own body, and Neal's sketch is actually pretty anatomically correct, and not just because the other man is a good artist. He knows what this sketch is supposed to mean from the man. Bringing it into his room, he tapes it up on his wall, before he sends a video message to Neal in response, the drawing conveniently visible in the background.]
You certainly have a remarkable attention to detail.
[SMIRK. Yes, as a matter of fact, he did. He usually does forget to mention these things - the reactions are better that way, and Neal's certainly does not fail to impress.]

Good, you put it up.
[ sometimes neal's only saving grace is he backs up his arrogance with being freakishly good at whatever he's bragging about, so the satisfaction is genuine instead of mocking. ]
I'm an artist, it comes with the trade. I'll assume the dreams are part of it?

I can appreciate a good work of art. [It's clear that he means both himself and the drawing when he says that. Someone's a bit narcissistic. Then again he looks good, and he knows it, and the drawing definitely shows that off as well. When you've spent over a thousand years looking devilishly handsome, these personality flaws happen.]
And to answer your question, yes. The dreams are...an added bonus. [S M I R K]

[He can be astute when it really matters.]
There were others, then? [If he were a younger vampire his fangs would be bared of their own accord at that motion, combined with their talk. As it is, he's hoping that they can recreate that shower scene sooner rather than later.] Will you tell me now? Or are we going to have to make a list?

Why not both?
[ Her hand drops, but she smiles. ]
Maybe afterward. [ Or during. ] Then we'll be ready for them already. [ She'd say dressed for it, but being undressed is half the point. ]

[Eric smirks. It's obvious he likes everywhere that this conversation is going.] Alright. Deal.
I'll tell you one thing though. [He smirks even wider.] I'm even better in person.

Are you? [ Her grin is sharper still. ] I have a very good imagination, you know.
So can I. [ neal just shrugs a little in acknowledgement-- physical beauty is physical beauty, he's not going to pretend it's a hardship looking at eric. ]
An added bonus you neglected to mention. [ a beat. ] I'll save you a visit from an angry federal agent and skip mentioning this to Peter, but somewhere he's laughing at me.
...open sharing of information isn't a talent of mine. 'Hoisted by my own petard' is the phrase, I think.
[ at least he can laugh at himself. ]

And I have an even better reality. [SMUG SMUG SMUG]
[[ooc: HEY GADGETS WANNA FINALLY GET THEM TO HAVE SEX FOR REALS??? :DDD]]

I'm sure. [At least he can. Eric can't even do that much. Then again, that probably has something to do with the viking pride.]
So you have an federal agent protector on the ship? Good to know. I can't see why you would want to complain about the dreams, though. [So very smug.]

He'd probably say babysitter-- I'd go with occasionally reluctant partner.
[ and neal's visibly not bureau-issue; peter will out his 'convict on work release' at the drop of a hat-- not that it would matter to eric either way, he's fairly sure-- so there's no point in pretending not to be a criminal. ]
And I never complained, as such. Like I said-- I can appreciate good art.

Good. As long as we have this arrangement, you can expect to have those then. [Whenever your brain feels like it, there is apparently no rhyme or reason to the dreams.]
How does he feel about this...arrangement you have? [He smirks slightly.] Or haven't you told him? [It would be typical, after all, not to tell the 'babysitter' about the big bad vampire you've agreed to feed every now and again.]

You doubt me?

I like to have my facts. [ lol jaye since when ]

[A quirk of a smile.] You're either very naive, or you trust me to be true to my word. [Which he will. But Neal doesn't exactly know Eric's character from their brief meeting, now does he? Unless he's been talking to Godric about him behind his back.]
