Resting a bit of tasty shrimp on her tongue, Marcie peeked across as Orion seemed to be continuing their little teasing, smirking a little and chuckling into the bit of shrimp till she swallowed it. "Maybe...maybe the spice was just too brief to catch. Who's to say~" With the tease of Kalosian food to follow, she couldn't help but smirk a little wider...a part of her was tempted to just use her psychic powers to get a little more out of him while they had some sense of privacy, the chef having already dipped his eyes low at their flirting to ensure they didn't feel he was watching them too closely...
Another part wanted to remind him, and herself, he was engaged...even that brief peck was probably a little much...even then however, she just...didn't want to lower the mood, she was enjoying this, and it had been a while since she'd felt so comfortable.
"..." Placing her chopsticks to one side of the plate, she leaned against the counter, letting out a long breath. She didn't expect it specifically of Orion, but she had no other way to word it. "...Do you actually like me Orion? I mean...I know we're friends and I do start our little messes but..." Even saying that much she knew she was more at fault for this but...heh. But nothing. She was just used to blaming others with her lifestyle. She let out a sigh and just shook her head. "Sorry...sorry...forget I said anything."

The sigh pulled Orion from his thoughts. Yellow eyes flickered sideways, slowly drawing over Marcie's features. Do you actually like me? Did she mean like- I mean I know we're friends- Oh. She was actually asking asking. A lump formed in the back of his throat, but as she apologized, he suddenly found himself speaking again. "I do-" Yeah. "Like you…. As a boss and partner in crime and…." His lips quirked a little into a weaker smile. "As just a person too."
His stomach tightened, but he might as well get all of this out now. "I like our relationship as friends. I like working for you and… like being incorporated into this work we do. I didn't think I would at first, but I like being more than a grunt to you. And I-" Don't stop now, doofus. "Like you." What was he? A goofy teenager? Arceus, he wasn't even this dumb around Nik, but he guessed all the feelings were just different. Not better or worse.

Marcie's eyes flickered up to him as Orion gave his answer. The way he began she wasn't too hopeful, but at least she was getting an answer...then came his final two words and that bit of emphasis, and she couldn't help but burst into snickers into her palm, giggling far more than she expected and even as she tried to stop she could only giggle more.
"I-I'm sorry I just...Arceus I feel like I'm in highschool or something the way you said that..." She supposed there was no other way to say it really but it didn't stop her giggling away, trying to calm herself down and lightly patting her cheeks in the hopes it would calm her down a little, especially in her strained cheek muscles as she continued to smile, calming herself down soon enough all the same, and taking a long, slow breath.
"Aaaah...I'm sorry that was just...too cute.~" She smirked towards him and shifted a little to face him, just smiling and speaking back in a hushed voice. "I quite like you too Orion...and I'm sorry if that makes things awkward for you, especially now but..." She shrugged and crossed her arms. "I can't help it...the first time we kissed it may have been a little more physical for me but, you're there for me, you seem to care about me rather than just our work...it's hard not to 'like' you.~"

Hot, dry embarrassment came to Orion's features as Marcie snickered and giggled. He couldn't readily tell if or what was so funny, if it was him or the situation or what but…. I feel like I'm in high school or something- Oh, heh. Heh. Guess they were on the same page with that, actually. Heh. At least she seemed to find it cute rather than stupid but… O-o-oh? O-OH??? Arceus??? He?? DIDN'T EVEN??? He felt so fucking goofy just hearing those words, and it probably reflected some on his face. Slowly, hesitantly Orion shifted to hug around her sideways, a brief squeeze but a resounding hold. "Thank you," was all that was murmured back.

Marcie blushed a little with the hug, but made no attempts to complain as she sank into his side/torso just a little, breathing out a content little sigh through her nose and hugging herself a little as she enjoyed his comfort. The chef was polite enough to keep his eyes low, but she knew this still wasn't as private a moment as it could be, eventually letting out a soft giggle as she eased out of his arm, lifting his hand to lightly kiss his knuckles. "Thank you too dear. I'm...sorry that I keep making things more complicated for you. Guess I can be a little more trouble for you than I intend to be."

The soft giggle was enough to have Orion slowly ease back as well. The knuckle kiss, however, had him smiling a bit, however. Arceus, this was his adorable boss, even then apologizing for the trouble. A soft sigh escaped from him as he shifted his hand around to cup her cheek. "A little complication is just a little challenge," he chuckled dryly. "Thank you for returning those feelings anyways." She could be any measure of subtle necessary, but knowing she liked him too (and even more than just for physical reasons, heh) was nice. Shifting his hand away after a moment, he leaned forward to the table. "Compliments to the chef again for making the perfect enviornment~" he laughed a little.

Marceline looked back into Orion's eyes as he cupped her cheek, even if she was still sure she was a bit of a bother, even if she was a bother worth the trouble, she was thankful to hear Orion just saw it as a challenge...sure perhaps most girls may not have liked that word associated with them, but for her it was perfect. Afterall, she lived her life looking for something challenging and interesting. If she was too simple, too plain, where would be the fun. "Oh you know me, I can't lie to you these days.~"
She flicked her eyes to the chef, giggling a little at Orion's words. "Oh yes, I'll be sure to leave a nice tip for the atmosphere and the polite discretion.~"
The chef smiled as he lifted his head, flipping some final bits before serving them up, more of a main course than appetizers. He began to clean his grill now as it cooled down, before gesturing to a waitress to bring over the desert cart in about 5-10 minutes.
"Thank you again Orion...it's been a lovely meal. I've needed some time to relax...even with the awkward tension I'd say it was worth it.~"

I can't lie to you these days. These words rolled around in sudden dramatic torrent in Orion's mind spinning up a strange feeling in the process. He couldn't put his finger on it exactly, but the level of trust with which this came with was…. cathartic? Was that it? Close enough to it? Close enough. As the chef finished up, Orion ate a bit again, humming ever so softly to himself.
Marceline's words, however, had his gaze flicking back to her again. "I'd say so," he echoed a bit quieter. "We should do this more often~ Hopefully time permits." It had been too long even if it was understandable given how busy each was building this organization in their own ways. Heh. Of course, they could always go on a mission together too even if that came with its own sort of inner workings and established dynamic. Heh, that wouldn't be bad either, though.
