"Yeah. They're not as bad as hospitals, but Foggy snacking in close quarters is close." He says it with a teasing smile, because while his abilities do make things hard sometimes, he's not one to simply wallow over it. A lot of good comes from it, too. Or rather, he can do a lot of good. Some days are hard but it's still worth the while for him.
"On the flip side, it does make nice smells even more pleasant." He leans in to say quietly against her ear, "Like your perfume. It's a really nice scent. Some people end up reeking like they bathed in grandmother purses, so I'm glad yours doesn't."
The sudden closeness of him and the way his voice, pitched low and gentle, is whispered in her ear sends a strong pulse down her spine and one of her hands unconsciously flutters to her chest. She can feel heat rising to her cheeks, a faint blush forming and her smile grows.
"Oh. Thank you." She says, leaning in just a hair closer. "I bought it when I lived in Paris for a while."
He can sense the heat rising from her, the faint way she leans into him. Little elements that his senses can't help but detect. It warms him to know that these moments aren't unwanted on her end. He's many things, but he's not one to share personal space without encouragement.
"Yeah? I've never been to Paris." There are a lot of places he hasn't been. He's only really started traveling within the last few years. "What else did you take back from it? Please tell me the accent for awhile." The last part is said a bit teasingly.
He smiles in her direction, a lopsided grin, speaking back to her in French. His accent is nowhere near as good as hers, but otherwise it's passable. "Maybe you should speak French more often."
Dropping back to English he gives a small shrug of his shoulders. "I know mine's not nearly as good. Been awhile since I spoke it, I'm a little rusty." The last time had been with Elektra long ago. He uses Spanish much more frequently. Still, multiple languages had been part of the training started by Stick that he never fully abandoned.
She isn't expecting him to speak French back to her, and certainly not as smoothly as he does, and she leans back a little to laugh. It's melodious and warm and she gives him a playful little swat to the bicep.
"Matt Murdock, is there anything you can't do?" She teases, obviously pleased by his little surprise.
"I've never milked a cow. Feels like all my quality creamers judge me a little for it." He does love making her smile, and finding out they have something in common. His expression shows a bit of a smug grin at the sound of her laugh, like he's accomplished something worthwhile. "We can now talk in French when we don't want those around us to know what we're saying. Or just to annoy them." He would absolutely tease Foggy by doing it.
Somehow she suspects that if he had to milk a cow he would still wind up doing a good job of it, he just seems to have a lot of natural talent.
"By those around us, do you mean Foggy?" She asks, knowing him well enough to know that's exactly what he would do.
When he compliments her laugh she smiles and leans in close to kiss his cheek. "Thank you, so do you. And you have one of the best smiles I've ever seen."
"I didn't not mean Foggy," he admits sheepishly. It might not be the most mature of his life choices, but he still thinks it'd be a funny prank to pull on his friend. What else were best friends and law partners for, really? "I guess you're starting to know me pretty well." He doesn't hate that reality.
At the kiss to his cheek he slips an arm to settle around her waist. Her compliment earns a widened grin of his own. "Careful. Sweet talk like that and you'll make me blush." With his other hand he tentatively moves his fingers closer to her face, pausing before actually touching her. He wants to trace her mouth, to feel her smile. "May I?"
It doesn't have to be mature so long as both Matt and Foggy enjoy each other's pranks and joking, it's actually kind of sweet in a way that they've been such good friends for so long and still have the same rapport that they did when they were young.
"I guess I am."
Another of those tingles go down her spine when she feels his arm slip around her waist and she stays close, tilting her face up to look into his.
He always asks to make certain before doing anything so intimate. At her permission he gives a small nod and lets his fingertips brush against her face. He feels along the contours and angles, brushing back her hair, lingering on her lips. He can't help but smile a little as he does so. "See, I knew you had a beautiful smile."
His fingertips move across her skin so softly, like the whisper of touch and yet she can feel the warmth of his skin and she has to resist the urge to press a kiss to his fingers.
"Thank you." She says softly, her smile growing even more.
