[The charming smile works its magic like clockwork, leaving Felicia blushing and giggling as she clutches the broom to her chest.]

Ve~ I'll give it a good try! If I can't do it you'll have to take me on a ride! [She winks.] I know you wouldn't let me fall!

[She climbs onto the broom and pushes herself off with far too much strength, immediately aiming for a glass showcase and screaming her head off as she jerks at the broom handle to turn it around. The broom wavers and loses what little altitude it had gained, depositing Felicia on the ground in a heap of limbs and twigs. Her head pops up, grinning.]

I didn't slip!

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony can't help but find her fall amusing so he gives a slight chuckle.]

You know, you're right. You didn't slip.

[He offers her a hand so she can get up.]

At least we know now that I know how to pick a good broom.

[pizzaitaliana]

[Felicia giggles as she takes his hand.]

You do, you're really good with brooms!

[She pats the poor abused broom lovingly, ignoring the evil looks from the shopkeeper. It's not like she broke anything, just... nearly broke something. But she hadn't and that's what counts.]

Now I just have to learn to keep from crashing with my broom. That was scary!

[arrogantalloy]

[After he helps her up. Tony gestures to the shop owner. One of those 'I've got the bill if need be' gestures.]

Well how about this then?

[Tony takes the broom off her and puts it back on the rack.]

I trained on this one, and I know for a fact it's stable.

[Tony pulls off a Stark Broom, and hands it too her.]

It's technically a stubborn broom movement wise, because it doesn't want to move unless you're sure. But for shakey flyers, it's pretty handy.

[pizzaitaliana]

Uwah! A broom that doesn't move unless I'm sure I want it to sounds perfect!

[Felicia gives her pretty last broom a last lingering look, then she takes the new one from Tony's hands. She turns it this and that way, inspecting it curiously and patting the bristles fondly.]

You're so nice to me and I didn't even tell you my name! I'm Felicia. Felicia Vargas.

[Felicia mounts the broom, she giggles.] What do I get if I do well?

[arrogantalloy]

That's a very pretty name there, Felicia. I'm Tony Stark.

[Tony comes closer to her, leaning in a little to her.]

If you do well...

[Gives a look of thought.]

How about a peck on the cheek?

[pizzaitaliana]

Uwah!

[Is she blushing? Why, yes, she is blushing. Felicia's hands curl tighter around the broom's handle.]

Ve... I think I would like a peck on the cheek, Tony!

[She flashes him a cheeky grin.]

But if I don't make it I'll give you a peck on the cheek anyway because I kiss all my friends and you're my friend!

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony gives a chuckle.]

I like the sound of this deal. So, ready to try it out?

[pizzaitaliana]

Sure!

[She kicks off, hovering just barely above the ground for a moment before she dares to gain some altitude. She flies straight forward, laughs happily when she finds herself feeling safe for once on the sluggish broom. Having gained some confidence, she leans into the curve, flying back towards Tony.]

Look, Tony! I'm flying! I'm really flying!

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony gives a large grin.]

Look at that, you really are.

If there's one thing Stark Industries can do, it's make things that are intuitive and easy to use.

How does it feel?

[pizzaitaliana]

It feels nice! Like I'm the queen of the world!

[She giggles and lands on the ground, a very wobbly landing, but at least she doesn't land face first. Felicia runs towards Tony to give him a big fat kiss on the cheek.]

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony grins even more at the kiss on his cheek. He takes the chance to slip an arm around her waist.]

Well if I knew that I could get a kiss for matching the right girl to the right broom. Then I'd have dropped out and sold brooms years ago.

[pizzaitaliana]

Ve...

[Felicia pushes her bottom lip forward as she thinks about that, but she's not fighting his hold, oh no, she's actually leaning into it.]

But if you got kisses from girls all the time it would get boring! It's better to have nice things only sometimes so you can appreciate them all the more!

[arrogantalloy]

[Oh he has no problem with her leaning in one bit.]

Hey, it's never boring. It's like licorice all-sorts, You can eat them all day everyday. But hey, they're not all the same, now. Are they?

[He gives her a cheeky grin.]

[pizzaitaliana]

[Well, if he isn't fighting the hold she is going to take it as an invitation to snuggle properly against his side. Cuddling is nice!]

Oh~ I like that comparison! I'm like a candy! But I would rather be chocolate than licorice, I don't like licorice. Can I be chocolate?

[arrogantalloy]

[He grins and gives her a squeeze]

You, are most certainly chocolate.

[pizzaitaliana]

[Without any shame whatsoever, Felicia licks Tony's cheek. She pulls back and smacks her lips pensively.]

And you're candied lemon slices!

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony's eyes widen for a moment, not expecting it then laughs.]

So I'm sourly, sweet? I like this. Hey, want to get something to drink? Or eat, eating is always good too.

[pizzaitaliana]

Yes!

[She freezes, taken aback by her own enthusiastic shout, and grins sheepishly as her cheek quickly color pink.]

Ve... I mean, I'm a little bit hungry and thirsty after all that flying.

[arrogantalloy]

[He chuckles at her excitement and gives her a squeeze]

Well then, I saw a cafe a few shops up, sound good?

[pizzaitaliana]

Sounds perfect!

[She drops the broom, having lost all interest in it for now, and drags Tony out of the shop and towards the cafe.]

Do you think they have strawberry pie? With whipped cream, oooh, I like strawberries! Not as much as I like ice cream and chocolate and tiramisu, but I like strawberry pie, too.

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony glances back at the dropped broom as he's dragged away. But then goes back to grinning at her.]

You know, I'm pretty sure we can have all of these if you want?

[pizzaitaliana]

[Felicia stops suddenly in the middle of the crowded street to stare at Tony as if he had grown a second head, but only in the very best ways. The irritated grumbles of passerbys go completely ignored by her.]

All of them? Really

[She makes a little happy cooing noise.]

Ve~! Tony is so nice to me!

[arrogantalloy]

[Gives a bit of a chuckle]

Well, what kind of guy would I be if I don't spoil a girl when the opportunity arises?

[pizzaitaliana]

[She purses her lips and makes a big show of pondering his question.]

Ve~ I think it would make you a boring boy!
