Oooh he was caught. A slightly shocked expression had come over his face before it slipped into a half-smile, and he raised his hand to signal a surrender. All things considered, Zephyr liked the direction Attie's words were going -- food, downtime, stories, and (most importantly) time with the lovely doctor. He moved to swing his legs over the side of the bed and, carefully, tried to stand.
Balancing himself and discovering he was absolutely capable of maintaining a completely upright posture, he angled his body toward Attie once more. "Here's an idea. I take us for a nice -- dinner? is it dinnertime? -- and I treat you not only to a good meal, but to another part of my -- that is, Z's grandeur tales. Would that serve as suitable repayment, Doctor?" He winked once again, believing his words to be mostly rhetorical. And flirting had gotten him this far, why not continue?
He brought his hands up, all knowing expression on his face. "After all, the second part is so very exciting. Our hero finds himself in a tight situation. After all, the government was none too pleased about his escape, you know?" There was a light in his eyes as he slipped around the bed, nearer to Attie. There was also the intent of not taking no for an answer in his expression, but, hey, it was mostly innocent.

Atticus chewed on his lip as he watched Zephyr start to concoct an answer, though he shuffled up to his feet in case the other had trouble getting out of bed. The other man seemed to be alright, though, and when he stood he offered a form of repayment in addition to the story he didn't really think he could refuse. The doctor didn't realize that Zephyr had leaned a little nearer as he had spoken, nor did he notice that he himself seemed to be gravitating towards the other. He just... seemed to have a pull to him.
"I'm feeling fairly inclined to accept that offer," he said with a soft laugh, the corners of his lips turning up into a smile. Why not? This was a form of repayment - and he didn't find any reason to distrust Zephyr never mind the fact that the injured man in front of him wasn't the only one in need of a good meal. "Besides, it seems to be the kind of thing to cure your infectious charm."
He laughed as he spoke that last part, immediately turning red up to his ears at how horrible that sounded before curling his hand into a fist in front of his mouth. He just.... he didn't have it in him to flirt like that, apparently. Not in the natural sort of way that Kyne did, and he didn't have anywhere near the natural charm for silly pickup lines. He cleared his throat, glancing away though he still wore a smile. "I'm sorry, that was- that was horrible." Seagreen eyes wandered back to the other's face as the redness on his own cleared and he added, his hand pulling down from his face to tuck at the back of his neck again. "But - yes, I'd like to both hear more and have dinner with you."
That was - that was not so nearly bad as the horrible joke that he'd made oh god he shouldn't be letting that part of Kyne rub off on him that was horrible.

Attie may not have been aware, but Zephyr instantly noticed the good doctor leaning a little closer. His expression softened a bit still, and he tilted his head as he awaited an answer -- which, naturally, was the affirmative kind. There was absolutely no stopping his lips from cracking into a grin again. Especially the other's comment about his infectious charm, and curing it.
He had only exhaled a slightly surprised 'ha' at first, but Attie's own laughter and red flush brought out more from him, shoulders shaking a little as he lowered his head a bit to laugh.
"No, don't apologize -- it wasn't that bad!" No, it wasn't horrible, unless Attie meant horribly cute. How was Zephyr supposed to control himself around someone like this, anyway? Especially when he was doing that cute thing where he touched the back of his neck. As his own laughter subsided, he found himself idly wanting to take Attie's hand away within his own, brush his own palm against the back of the doctor's neck.
A more subtle touch of red rose on his cheeks at that thought, and he gave a calmer smile again -- something he should really make a conscious effort on for the time being, because the cut at his lip stung every time he smiled too widely. "Great then, it's a date! Though I don't think it would do us much good if I went out wearing only the finest bandages as an accessory under my shirt -- my coat wasn't ruined was it? I've got to stop wearing white, seriously." Another chuckle escaped him, but it wasn't just the cut at his lips that he noticed this time. His muscles really were sore, but he'd be fine. It wasn't uncomfortable enough to contort his expression, which meant that he could get away with it long enough to treat Attie to dinner. With money he owed his sister. Eva was going to chew him out again, whOOOOOPS.

Why was he so damn charming and what was Attie so weak to it? He found the red on his face deepening a moment as Zephyr laughed, though a soft laugh passed his lips and he commented, "Oh, come on, that was a pity laugh," though he didn't look too beaten up about it. No, a smile split his face and he took his eyes off of the others' mismatched set for a second to try and gather himself together. This was hardly the first time he'd been flirted with by someone attractive and charming, considering there were so many good looking people around (beat up or not) but Zephyr had apparently pressed all the right buttons to get him all flustered and he needed to get a handle on himself.
The statement about the bandages was what brought Attie's attention back to the other man. Yes, he supposed that going out looking like that might draw a few glances, and if Zephyr had just gotten into some trouble then spare glances were the last thing that he wanted to have.
"Ah, right - right," he answered, "I wouldn't say ruined but in need of a wash, definitely."
He paused there, fingers holding still from where they had been playing in his hair and he thought a moment about what to do with that. Of course, the clothes could be washed but that wasn't really a solution right now. "I might have a big coat somewhere that'd do to cover you up, though," he said after a moment. "Nothing stylish but it'd do the trick."

The other man was far too much to handle. There were so many little things and wow, he really should cool his jets or something. He'd encountered Attie twice now. There was absolutely no reason for him to be so captivated this quickly. Not that it was entirely unlike him to become attached to people quickly, tbh. Dammit, though, the shade of red on Attie's cheeks, the smile he gave, the little mannerisms he did -- all of it was really charming, in the cutest way.
Anyway, the fact his coat was apparently not ruined was comforting, but he couldn't possible wear it out on a date if it was dirty (he wasn't raised a heathen, after all!). It didn't take long for Attie to note having an alternative, however. "Not stylish? Well, beggars can't be choosers," he noted with a lopsided smile, giving a light -- very light, because injury -- shrug.
"Besides, I'd like to think you are clearly more charmed by the words I speak than the clothes I wear, anyway. Unless I went entirely without clothes." A cheeky grin touched his lips as he said this, crossing his arms. "I can imagine you might be a little distracted in that case, doctor or no." Okay maybe that was a bit bold to say, but still, he leaned forward a little after saying it -- not missing a beat. "Anywho, lead the way, Doctor Cutie. And then I'll take you wherever suits your fancy."

When Zephyr agreed to the spare coat, Attie turned to go rummage through the closet to find it. He did this as Zephyr kept speaking, and when the other decided to make a quip about going out in the nude it was fairly clear that the doctor had stopped rummaging and had instead frozen in spot. Without. Clothes. Without clothes. It took him a second to process it before he reached for the coat he'd spoken about and turned, sort of biting his lip to avoid smiling (it wasn't working) because it wasn't a charming thing to say (but it had probably gotten the desired affect) and saying with a laugh, "I don't think I'm the only one you'd distract if you did that."
Despite the fact that he tried to wave it off, he did go bright red as he turned. Holding the coat up didn't quite do enough to hide it, though and making eye contact with Zephyr after he mentioned not wearing clothes helped even less. Whoops. He might be a doctor but there was a difference between bodies that you're taking care of and people who are very attractive and very flirting and charming and context was important oh no there went those thoughts for a moment.
Clearing his throat, he approached and offered the kind of lumpy black coat. "I don't.. really get out much so, anywhere that you know would be more than fine with me. So long as," his voice caught again, smiling behind a tight fist as he cleared his throat again, "You're not going without any clothes at all, that is."

A-ha. Mismatched eyes stayed focused on the brunette, lips curled into a devious smile as soon as he noticed him freeze. The laughed reply was good, but when Attie turned around bright red (because no, the coat did nothing to hide that) -- oho. It was very worth it. What else could he do to bring about that reaction again? Being bold definitely seemed like a safe bet, especially considered he wasn't exactly chastised for his words.
He waited for the other man to get closer, taking the coat into his hands and slipping it on. A bit of a rough fit, but it'd do well enough for now. "Duly noted," he started in reply, eyes flickering to his wrists as he tugged and adjusted the sleeves. A small smile was still on his lips as he continued, "And don't worry -- the only place I'd want to go without clothes on would be some place a lot more private than a restaurant--" His eyes flickered up, grinning wide. "Maybe with a certain someone still along for the ride."
Zephyr winked at that, and then laughed, pocketing his hands. Okay, okay, he was probably pushing it -- but they were both consenting adults what harm was there in a little less than subtle flirting? "Really, though, I can think of a few places. Is there anything in particular you'd prefer? I can definitely work with anything." Granted, food was a higher priority, so he'd conceded and shifted to that as his stomach rumbled a little more.

Attie should have known that he was in over his head when he caught the look on Zephyr's face. That was the look of someone who knew the effect they were having and liked it, and while Attie wasn't against what was going on, he knew he was definitely... definitely someone who had a weak spot for this. Stupid. Charming. Jerks. He thought that this was about as bad as it was but then no, no.... Zephyr had more to say on the subject.
He. Just, he just definitely said that, he definitely. Definitely just. Said that. Um. Now he was definitely very red in the face and he called himself on taking it too seriously. Just. Just being charming and stupid and flirty, Attie knew he shouldn't take these things at face value he knew better but the cheeky wink though.
"That's - - " he started but he had definitely not been expecting that but at least Zephyr's words continued and gave him something to play off of. He wasn't nearly as smooth as he could have been, that was for sure, but a flustered laugh left him as he tried to recover from that, and he continued, "Anywhere's good, I'm fairly easy to please -though, maybe not quite that easy."
It had... definitely been an attempt at being just as flirty and charming back but he wasn't sure if it missed the mark. In the back of his mind a little voice reminded him that he hadn't exactly said no there, whoops.

Ohoho this was all really too good to play off of. Attie was pretty receptive to it, which helped, and honestly only served to entice Zephyr into continuing. But he had to take it easy, because he couldn't wear it out. Excess was only good sometimes -- moderation generally trumped. So, even though the charming remark given to him was very much a great opening, he was not going to continue that line of thought and bounce off of it.
"Oh, that's fine. I don't mind working a little harder to please someone like you," he shot back. Wait, no, damMIT. The stupid shitty grin was still on his face as he forced himself to walk past Attie and to the doorframe, before pausing and turning back. Okay, okay, seriously, seriously for real this time.
"So uh... I realized I don't exactly know the layout of your clinic, much less where the front door is. How'm I supposed to sweep you off your feet if I can't even get you out to dinner?" He shook his head over-dramatically, giving a slight shrug and heavy sigh. Woe is him etcetc. But the smile returned soon enough, and he leaned on the doorframe to wait for Attie's hopeful assistance.

Though Zephyr immediately began to continue on his train of thought, he derailed it fairly quickly, deciding instead to ask for help on actually leaving. Attie didn't know if he was actually capable of turning that charm off, not that he.. actually minded all that much if he had to be honest, but it was nice to see that he knew not to push things beyond comfortable. The door frame that he'd gone to was the right one, though - it was a very small place and pretty easy to tell which way lead outside.
With a soft laugh, Attie answered in a light tease, "Is that what you were trying to do? I couldn't tell," before heading past him and opening the door to get out. The not so fresh air greeted him outside, mostly exhaust from the above bridge and other less pleasant things but it was still home, as not so nice as it was. He turned as he passed Zephyr, feet taking him out onto the familiarity of the small porch and he waited for the other to leave before locking the door.
"It might be working, though," he added after a moment of thought, even though that was... about as obvious as Zephyr's attempts.
