Kell feels a touch of nerves as he ascends the fire escape outside Lila's apartment. He's visited before, of course, but generally through a door he's made in the hall. It's Lila who comes to his window looking for mischief, not the other way around, but today Kell is feeling adventurous.

Reaching her window, Kell settles his hip against the glass and taps it, making himself plainly known so that he doesn't get stabbed or thrown off the ramparts.

"Lila," he calls, lowering his voice after, "I'd like to commit a crime."

Kell's mouth goes dry. It's true that Lila hasn't much in the way of breasts, and Kell has never minded. He gets more enjoyment form the way he can make her feel when he touches them than from her breasts themselves, but pushed up like this, they're so much more substantial. He wants to pull her to him and bury his face between them. He wants to rest his cheek on them. He wants to touch.

"I like that one," he says, a little coarse.

Lila might feel a bit silly dressed in something like this, but not when Kell looks at her, his normal eye nearly as black as his Antari one. She opens the door a little more and leans more suggestively against it. "So this one's a keeper?" she says, reaching forward to touch the edge of his jacket collar.

"Should I try on another?"

"Yes," says Kell, though he's no idea how anything will top this. Still, he's eager to try, even if it takes him a moment more to remember to step back so she can undress.

"I'll just be out there," he says, licking his dry lips.

Lila is grinning as she closes and re-fastens the door. Suddenly it doesn't matter that these underwear are ridiculous and girly, not when Kell is looking at her like that. It's its own special sort of power.

She puts on the next and first peeks out the door to make sure Kell is still there, and that no one else is, and then opens the door completely.

"And this?" she asks, posing.
