fightlikehell | Hello, hello, hello.

I would have sooner. I've been uh...busy.

[At the firm and in the streets. The news would be saying so much. It's different when he is telling it to her directly.

The line is quiet as she speaks. A murmur starts in his throat but stops until she's finished.]

I would never tell you that, Claire.

[Even angry. Even furious.]

...Are you sure? I'm not expecting apologies. I know that even being close to me isn't easy the way things are right now.

[Foggy can attest to that and he's seen Matt through everything.]

Yes, I'm sure you have been...unscathed as well, with the new armor. [Why is she feeling bad about not seeing him injured? She should be glad! But, it's that smile, that intelligence, that body...um...get back into the conversation Claire.]

Well, we could at least meet up as Matt and Claire, not Daredevil and Claire. See how things would be normally and go from there?

Mostly in one piece. I was given very good advice.

[From her. Just goes to show that he does listen. Sometimes.]

I'd like that. Very much.

[More than words can convey right now. Matt tries to keep his voice even.]

We don't...have to rush or anything. I know that our parting wasn't on the best terms. Even for me.

[He could have fought harder the whole argument with Foggy with the Nobu fight left him low.]

No, no rushing needed. [she smiles slowly] Yeah, I'll have to make up for that. We both will. I'm sure in time, we'll be okay. Although, the city is still dangerous, with the criminal element around every corner. Especially here. [she sighs]

Could we honestly make it work? I do want to try, but I can't help but think how scared I'd be for you. How...I'd wait to hear from you, if something went wrong. I know I have my own work--and hell, I could get killed in the emergency room, by a lunatic with a gun. [she reasons]

Could we just...be with each other for maybe an evening? Out, or not...no matter. Let me know what would work for you.

[Especially here. It's dismaying but true. Matt can't deny that.]

One step at a time. I want to try.

[That's worth the phone call alone to tell her.]

I know, Claire. I worry about you too.

[He worries about everyone. That's what drives him back again and again.]

Let's go out to dinner.

Okay...I guess it's a date then? [she swallows softly, suddenly nervous. Why is she nervous? Wow, a lot has changed, hasn't it?]

You let me know when and where and I'll be there. I'll give you my schedule too.

[OOC: How's my driving? I never get honest answers from the Matts I play with. I am always looking to improve. Is she too OOC? Or is she just right? LOL]

I could pick you up. We'll make a whole evening.

[Nerves might be catching. He denies it profusely. Just excitement. That's easier to accept.]

[ooc; I think you're doing a-okay! Only a few tags in so I don't have anything particularly constructive to add but you're enthusiastic and that's always wonderful.]

[OOC: Cool. Usually 'enthusiastic' from most of the Matts that I've played with means: crazy, nuts, annoying. LOL For real, be honest.]

Pick me up, hmm? Who's driving? [she couldn't resist, chuckling. They are comfortable enough that she can sling some blind jokes. She grins, playfully smacking his shoulder.]

[ooc; enthusiastic isn't bad!~ Please don't take it that way. And the slowness is entirely my fault. u_u]

I've discovered this invention they call a taxi. Or I'm surprisingly mobile. Would you believe that?

[Taking punches at his abilities is familiar territory if she can stay there he will be glad for it.]

Oh yeah, those. Oh yeah, I know you're very mobile. [knowing grin, witness to all his parkour]

Yes, well.

[His shoulders dip as he grins.]

I don't want to keep you if you're in the middle of something....

[Truth be told he has missed talking to her, the sound of her voice and the gentle kidding.]

Lunch is almost over. [glances at her watch] So, I'll finish and get back to work. Give me a call tonight, if you want. Take care Matt. [soft smile]

Right.

[And he's been appreciative of every second. How long has it been since they spoke last so frankly.]

I'll call tonight.

[Meaning he won't be on the streets. Not that way at least.]

Okay, don't get hurt before I see you, that could off set the mood a bit. [she says sarcastically as always] Bye Matt. [hangs up]

Hello, hello, hello.

Yes 8D

WOOHOO!
