molly watches caleb go, an affectionate smile on his cheeks, but it's not long before he's losing himself in a conversation with fjord and caduceus. caduceus is a very good friend to fjord, anyone can see it, and by the time molly searches for his wizard again, he's confident in leaving them to their devices.

molly drapes himself over caleb's back, pressing his lips to his cheek. "essek," he greets without looking up, his tone a little teasing. he knows essek has the hots for caleb, but. whatever. he trusts him to do the right thing, and so far, so good.

molly slips a drink into caleb's hand, then sips on his own, eyes still trained on his lover. "it's a bloody sunrise. i hope you like it, darling."

Caleb, of course, has no idea he's so desirable. This is just a nice chat between friends. Any flirting goes right over his head.

But when Molly returns and drapes all over him he smiles and leans back against him. He does like a good hug.

"What's in it?" He sniffs at it to try and figure it out for himself. He's never heard of the drink.

molly shoots essek a glance (one that the drow likely doesn't catch onto), before he curls a protective arm around caleb's waist. molly steers him into their own private conversation, where he sits on the arm of the couch and grins up at his lover.

"rum, orange juice, grenadine. it's really good, but it makes me queasy if i drink too many of them." molly's words are punctuated by the tiefling tipping his drink into his mouth, finishing it off and swirling the ice around the bottom. "that won't stop me, though, i have a big question to ask you. i need all the liquid courage i can gather."

"A big question?" Caleb took a sip and oh, that was strong. He would need to nurse this for the night otherwise he would be very tipsy very quickly. "What is it, Molly?"

He couldn't imagine what Molly might want to ask him. It shouldn't be too hard for Molly to ask him on a date. They go out together comfortably. Caleb doesn't feel very nervous when he asks Molly out.

He feels nervous when they are out but that's because of the people around them, not because of Molly.

molly feels a little on the spot when caleb asks him what it is, his cheeks turning a faint pink as he tilts his head off to the side. he glances down, away, like he's embarrassed.

"well, i'll need to work on this drink some more before i ask you, of course." he finally looks back up, searching caleb's expression.

"it isn't bad. i promise. i'm just nervous, is all."

Caleb frowns slightly. Not knowing what Molly wants to ask sets his nerves a little on edge. Molly may have said it wasn't bad but... he's a worrier. It's what he does.

"If you say so," he says as he takes another sip.

Perhaps a little alcohol will help him as well.
