[ Ah. Ariadne smiles, even as she shakes her head. ]

My forbidden fruit is a little more... out of reach than that.

[ In that she can't just show up and have a good time whenever she wants, that is. ]

Thank you, though.

[ She tilts her head, looks at him for a moment, and then- ] Come here.

[ Not unkindly; soft, almost a plea even if it isn't phrased like one. ]

[It's not a tone of voice that he's used to hearing. But it's compelling, and Jack steps forward, watching and waiting for her next move.]

[ Well. If he'd sat down next to her she would've gone for the side, but as it is...

Ariadne sets her glass down and unbuckles her belt, setting it and her daggers down. Not armed, no need to freak out, Jack. If she's guessing right, he probably hasn't experienced this a lot.

She stands up, takes a step forward, and gives him a hug -- tight, firm, but not too long unless he keeps her there. ]

[It would've been less shocking if she had made an attempt on his life. At least he would've known what that was. And he knows what a hug is, Jack's just had so few genuine ones these past few years. There were always words whispered against his ear at the same time, schemes or desires.

She doesn't whisper anything, just wraps her arms around him and squeezes. And Jack finds that he lifts one of his arms to wrap it around her in return.]

[ Oh. Well, then she'll stay there for a bit. If anyone has ever needed a hug, it's Jack Benjamin. ]

[He steps back, looking at her curiously. It's been so long since someone embraced him like that.]

I...is everything up to your standards, Baroness?

[ Ariadne just smiles at him, stepping back and settling back down to refasten her knife belt. ]

You haven't finished giving me the tour yet.

Then by all means, let's continue.

[He might actually be over the surprise by the end of it.]
