It's just the power to charm

((Closed to Cayce, Azi, Crowley, and Ellie. Backdated to a day or two after the Bentley Babes caper.))

Cayce wasn't jealous. That much was easy enough to define; she cared for Crowley a lot, but not That Way. And notwithstanding her admission at the community Truth or Dare game, she definitely wasn't queer for Ellie either, although she certainly liked her well enough. Actually, she thought the two of them pairing up was kind of cute.

But for reasons she was still hard pressed to identify, she was a little perturbed when the two of them up and vanished from the lake party, and clearly Aziraphale was too. They'd exchanged a few half-heartedly snarky (and subtly worried) comments at the time before finally sort of shrugging it off, and Cayce had said something about coming by the tea shop later.

So now she was suiting action to the word. She sort of hoped that Crowley wouldn't be around. It'd spare everyone a touch of awkwardness.

"I..." he couldn't say he was sorry... "I didn't mean to make you feel that way. It just wasn't part of my life; I never wanted it, though Adam only knows how many wanted it from me."

Crowley's gaze fell somewhere just below the window, but what he was seeing wasn't there. "What I'm saying is that this is pretty new. And I'm going to fuck it all up somewhere. Just... fair warning, right?"

He smirked. "But for all that, I've been having a good time, too."

Ellie laughed quietly. "Everyone does, at some point or other. And I certainly hope so. I might be retired, but I'd hate to think I've completely lost my touch." She ran her fingers lightly up his arm, a little too tentative to be quite termed playful.

There was a twitch to the demon's lips that might be termed a smile as he laid his hand over hers. "So what now?"

"Oh, I don't know," she said with blatantly feigned indifference. "We could do lunch, I suppose. Are you hungry?"

"Ravenous," Crowley smirked, somewhat predatorily.

"Good," she murmured, turning and climbing into his lap for a leisurely but very thorough kiss.
