Oh is that what you're doing? [It's asked with a tilt of his head as if he can actually see her face instead of just a mass of hair] Because I have to say, if that's your plan you're doing a really bad job of it. There haven't been any candles or chanting or anything.
I'm doing a long-con. [ She can tell he lifted his head based on how his chest and shoulder move under her cheek, but Eddie keeps hers right where it is. While the idea of looking into Chris's eyes from a scant few inches away isn't exactly a hardship, she's not sure she has the self control not to make it weird. And they're friends. So. She can't ruin that by being weird. ]
If I brought you in here and hit you with the candles and chanting right out of the gate, you'd know what's up. I gotta ease you into it. Boil you like a frog.
[He just nods, settling again, though his smile is still very much in place and probably evident in his tone] Oh, true, that does make sense. But, see, you also messed up by telling me the plan, because now I'll be on alert for it.
[It's definitely a tease, and he's hoping it's an obvious one because he doesn't want to mis-step here, because they are friends, and he doesn't want to say anything that will actually offend her.]
