[ the image is of sam in the full-length mirror of the bathroom she shares with yelena and kate, posing with her phone held out to capture the full view of what she’s wearing. black waves spill over her left shoulder and the lavender of the straps and garters pops against her skintone, the jewels of the bodysuit glinting in the soft light of the room. ]
what do you think? too tame?
[ the person it’s meant for (ani) would know better than she would. ]
[ by the time max’s message pings on the screen, bob can tell something insane is happening. but also — in this case — it’s sam. sam at the movies, sam in their bed at the lodge, sam looking at him from across the circle of their friends and waiting to be kissed.
you see it, right?
he thumbs over the screen, attention lingering, well, everywhere. the curve of her shoulder, along the line of her spine to the swell of her ass. ]
not too tame for me anyway i think [ dot dot dot, flashing on the screen ] you look pretty amazing amazingly pretty? crazy hot
[ she’s expecting ani to either give her shit or tell her she looks hot. what she’s not expecting is an earnest response to her body and how she’s thinking of presenting it while dancing, and her instinct is to apologize since she hadn’t meant to send it to bob. mostly because it feels like the house has done a lot of the flirting for them since they’d returned to the mansion.
but then she reads over the response and she feels less like apologizing. ]
yeah, it’s helping. i’m trying to figure out things to wear when i’m dancing.
[ he brings up an interesting point. what she's picked up works for aesthetics but she hasn't really tried moving in them quite yet. she's worn enough uncomfortable costumes in dance competitions and theater performances that she knows that's a factor that's going to be important, especially since dancing in a club all night is a very different thing than dancing for a few minutes on stage. ]
i should try dancing in it to see if they are.
do you want to see some of what i've been working on?
[ within the promised 15, there’s a video that comes through just pretend she’s doing it alone of her performing in the outfit. as she comes up to turn the camera off, skin flushed and hair mussed, her mouth curves in a playfully shy smile. ]
