 Between The Lines winged her way to the ledge where she had had her late night meeting with Doctor West. She was feeling slightly more confident about the whle situation after a conversation she had had with Nintendo of all pidge. Not that she had let on anything about helping the doctor. Besides, this meeting wasn't about that, she supposed.
The scavenger deposited some supplies she had found in one of the bags the humans used that shed water better than cloth. She sighed, glancing around. Tween wasn't quite sure how to take West. He was nice, and had a similar want to mend the rift in the flock. In her opinion, he had a better chance of it than she ever did.

 Dr. West Side Story was more than eager to hurry on to see the lovely pidge known as Between, but he'd been slightly delayed by an errant fledgling who'd met the fate of a stick in the wing, rendering flight impossible. He'd carefully retrieved the stick and was glad to say the pidge would be up and about in no time. He loved helping others and was glad he'd met someone else with a similar love.
Which brought his thoughts back to Between the Lines as he flew on to their secret spot. What a beautiful, if somewhat shy bird she was. He could easily see she wasn’t used to neither flattery nor anything remotely similar to flirtation. But when he was around her he just couldn't help. There was something about her he just couldn't resist. She was like a drug to him. West knew that when he saw her, he’d find the happiness he’d first felt when a pidge had finally replied to his letter. It had been up for days and nary a reply. Until Between.
With a happy heart, he landed nimbly on the ground, just before their getaway. He saw the beautiful pidge and his heart skipped a beat. “Hello gorgeous! May I inquire as to your health? I hope you didn't exert yourself too much last night. I'd hate for you to have suffered on my account." He cooed in greeting.
((A little silliness if I may. XP))

Tween sighed,flicking her green-tipped wings slightly. She didn't see herself as beautiful, more like plain. She kept very little for herself, so usually didn't have enough to trade for bits and bobs and inks. And not only that, she was undersized for a slate, more around the size of a foggy or coffee-colored pidge. It had been a long day, she had tried to stay away from places where she saw other flock's pidge scavenging or the thieves doing their work.
She glanced up as she heard West approach, watching him land. He really was quite handsome... A bit too handsome for the likes of her, really. She had seen the other pidge before replying to the note, as she'd made a habit of watching both sides of the flock. Tween had learned quite a few interesting things that way. If she wanted to, she could be the queen of gossip and blackmail for Half Price's flock. She simply didn't want to.
The scavenger ducked her head at being called "gorgeous", once more glad of the feathers hiding her spreading blush. She was drawn to him, and she wasn't quite sure why, or how to react to that. Between fluttered down to him. "No... I'm fine. Spot of good work never killed any pidge, and I'm more used to it than some."
((you may. xD))

It was true that Dr. West was a flirt, a big one at that. It was also true that he could probably have had his pick of the ladies. But there was one thing that Between wouldn't have believed if she heard it: He was so tired of all the mindless females he encountered. Always simpering over the tea he served and gushing over some bit of gossip. West wanted a real woman, one who could not only have an intelegent conversation with him but also had passion for the same things he did. And so far, Between was that very pidge to a T. He was so glad to have met her.
Mentally shaking his head at his reverie, West cooed, "I'm glad to hear it dumpling. I just don't want to hear that you've been overexerted over little old me."

Between couldn't help but chuckle at being called "dumpling". Really, dumpling? She shook her head slightly, smiling. She was rather straight-forward in most things, at least things that she knew and understood. The scavenger sidled closer. "Nah, I'm just a wee scavenger, plenty used to a bit of work."

Dr. West spread his beak in a huge smile at the pidge coming closer. He'd been curious as to how she felt about him, and perhaps this was a sign? "Ah, but my dear, I'd never have you tired over one such as myself. I'd hope that you could at least be rested. You're much too beautiful for your feathers to droop with exhaustion." He cooed, lifting his left wing out to brush her back gently.

"Oh, I'm a right fount of energy at times." The scavenger had to admit that the doctor had charisma, a good personality, and he was certainly quite handsome. Not to mention the fact that he was interesting to talk to, and probably knew about other places. She managed not to flinch from the touch, but the flush under her feathers darkened. "You shouldn't say such silly things... Flattery is only fitting when it's true."

West smiled at the quip. "I do hope you're being honest about the energy. Perhaps I shall call you my little Bunny then?" He cooed merrily, loving the brushing sensation of his feathers against hers. They almost tickled at the contact. "And as I've said before. I never lie, dumpling. And if I ever will, it will be over something far greater than myself."

"I am... And p'rhaps." She actually started to lean into the touch, her eyes going half-lidded. However, the scavenger suddenly shook herself, and moved away from West a bit. Tween silently berated herself for the way she was acting. She wasn't some silly, needy fluff-brain that grasped at the first handsome male to show interest... No matter how much she'd like to at the moment. "I suppose..."

"Alright my little Bunny. . ." West whispered, his voice going softer and huskier as she leaned into his touch. Whoa, this was insane. Yes, he'd been intimately close with other female pidge, but not like this. This was different. More fulfilling somehow. When she moved away it was as if he'd been slapped. "Don't do this to me. . . Bun. . ." West moved closer to Tween, closing the gap between the two of them again. "Just stay with me. Exactly like this. . ." He moved forward to brush his beak against the side of her head.

She shivered slightly at the brush against her cheek, but clicked her beak slightly. She had never been "close" with anyone, ever. This was too much, too fast, and he was certainly out of her league. "No, I can't do this. We can't do this. It'll never work..."
Tween sounded almost as though she were telling herself this, trying to convince herself. She didn't pull away, though. "What if someone finds out?"

"I'm not talking about making eggs here. I just want to be close to you," he said, his beak close to her ear. "We'll be careful. If we're careful then no one can find us."

She ducked her head, embarassed. Of course he hadn't meant anything like that. What a silly gull-brain she was to even think that he might mean anything more than a dalliance. She nodded slightly, then turned her head to preen her wing in an attempt to hide her reaction. "I suppose..."

"You're the only one that's made me feel like this. . ." Dr. West cooed. "There's just something about you that I can't resist." His tiny heart beat against his chest as it never had before. "I want to be close to you."

"And how many have you said that to?" Between mused aloud, keeping her voice light. She already regretted saying this, of course, but she felt foolish. She ducked her head, catching her tongue in her beak. "Sorry, that was rather harsh."
Despite herself, she felt similarly, she just didn't know how to express it.
