Yeah...it was what it was. She just needed to get over it and hope it didn't weigh on him enough to affect his work. Just...keep things professional, though that wasn't easy when her gut reaction to his comment that he had to leave was to rapidly think up an excuse for him to stay. She stepped forward as he set his apron down, a hand reaching up, her lips parting...but she couldn't even think of anything. The idea to offer a 'lullaby' if he didn't have anywhere to be could have worked but the thought came too late to seem natural. Her fingers curled up, and she just turned her open lips into a soft closed smile.
"Yes...yes that sounds about right." She eased her own apron off and placed it to one side, walking past him to the door and flashing him a tender smile as she eased the door open. "Want me to see you down to the lobby?"

Orion might have excused himself, but Marceline’s motions and words had him pausing briefly. Neither of them really had an excuse to go that far but… “Please,” he answered back warmly all the same. Stepping out into the hallway, he’d wait for her to lock up and then slowly start down the hall to the elevator. Some part of him wanted to say something more but the other part was content to walk alongside her in silence for the moment. Perhaps he was just… in a state of ‘comfortable’ that he didn’t really want to break by doing anything else.
Kiss her. Arceus, Brain, Anyone else upstairs? Maybe a fucking writer or something of this narrative he called life??? Can you??? NOT??? INTRUDE??? His fourth walling writer had to stop and berate him specifically considering she didn’t actually plan it that way and it’s his mind so fuck him too. But anyways. He kicked that urge about as far as he could as they got into the elevator.

Letting Orion walk ahead, she would turn about and lock up behind her. She...briefly recalled she hadn't put her shoes or leggings back on but, really, she was only going to the lobby so she doubted there'd be much of an issue. She let out a slow breath and followed Orion to walk with him down the brief hall towards the penthouse elevator, stepping inside of it with him once it was called and resting her rear against a handlebar on the back wall. Despite the express nature of the elevator, it was still a fair bit of a journey and...she didn't have much in the ways of conversation...
She'd enjoyed today she had but...her petty side couldn't let their earlier moment go. She felt she should have, but the fact it had been so...rejected. Not personally but as a "this cannot happen"...Nnnngh. She'd get over it in a night's sleep but right now she was gripping the handrail inside the elevator just to stop herself from doing something stupid...slow breath and her hands eased up...she tipped to the side, resting her head against Orion's shoulder, closing her eyes and muttering softly.
"Thank you."

Feeling the light pressure on his shoulder, Orion glanced sideways. Her thank you had his lips parting uncertainly. He wanted to ask her exactly for what, but the more knowledgeable part of himself was sure she meant ‘for today’s help’ and maybe even ‘for being a good worker’…. Yeah, that was all it was. A small chuckle resounded form him, and he shifted to hug her sideways. “Welcome,” was the simplest answer. Oh… That was… really kind of nice, and he didn’t know what to do with that and hhhhhh. “You’re an excellent boss by the way…” he commented briefly. “I’m always glad to help out~” With any and all of her endeavors, heh.

That was nice. Just the one arm around her was...so oddly pleasant and relaxing. She still had a faint urge to get what she 'wanted', even if she was sure she didn't actually want it. With that arm around her though...she logically thought it should only worsen her desire but it seemed to have the opposite effect, calming her down in the oddest way possible as she shifted just a little closer, resting her cheek more against the side of his chest than his shoulder.
"And you are an amazing partner in crime." Her words were faintly hushed, knowing there was a camera in the private elevator for security purposes, flashing her eye to it briefly before closing back down, the faint 'vrrrm' of the lift as it traveled down feeling quite relaxing. "It was nice having a normal afternoon...and you do look oddly cute in an apron.~" She flashed an eye up to him with a teasing smirk.

Ah… That was nice to hear, heh. Though her words could have worried him in a ‘public’ part of the space, the fact that one could attribute many things to a ‘partner in crime’ helped. A small chuckle resounded when she mentioned the normal afternoon and the cuteness of his apron. It made me feel cute for certain. He’d smirk back and leaned forward just a little. “I’d have to argue that~ I look cute in everything,” he snickered softly leaning back up again. “But…. I do enjoy it…” he exhaled a bit softer. “Maybe when I’m old and grey I’ll open a bakery or something.” That was…. actually possible now that he thought about it, and suddenly his stomach was squirming heh. The ding of the elevator, however, caught his attention. Shifting a little as the doors opened, he allowed that arm to fall again. "Remind me sometime and I'll bring you some cookies I've made~" He laughed a bit softly.

She let out a faint chuckle at the image of Orion running a small bakery..."Maybe when I'm 'looking good for my age'" She smirked, avoiding the worlds 'old and grey' for herself "I'll have to join you. I mean, given a year of learning I'm sure i'll be as good as you...sounds like a rather fun retirement option from all this work afterall." She was genuinely joking but it was an amusing image for her all the same, watching the doors of the elevator part, she lightly brushed the back of her fingers against Orion's leg, faint enough for him to not even feel it through his pants. "Mmm...I guess I'll see you next time you're looking for a paycheque~ You better bring cookies.~"

Heh. Old and Grey options were….a silly notion considering how long he expected to live with such a fucked up body, but whatever, right? Yeah. The touch, however, pulled his thoughts away. He hadn’t felt it but… had registered it at least. His lips quirked a bit but he let it go for now. Better to just… get going heh, yeah.. “Of course~!” he mused playfully now as he started towards the lobby doors. “They’re the best in town~”
One of the secretaries on the bottom floor giggled faintly causing Orion’s gaze to flick to her for a moment. He flashed a grin back and she looked away shyly. “Maybe I’ll bake some for the entire apartment place,” he chuckled. The girl at the desk giggled faintly, but that would be it. Orion headed out the spinning door and disappeared onto the Caravellian streets once again.

Marcie let out a faint chuckle, wiggling her fingers in a soft wave as the elevator closed back up behind Orion, taking a second to breathe before resting her head back against the cool metal inside the elevator...a good night sleep and she'd be over this...maybe..."A bath...I...so need a nice. Warm. Soapy bath...pretty sure I still have some bath bombs left from that gift basket I got a few weeks ago..." She spoke to herself idly as she found it weirdly hard to internalize her thoughts all of a sudden...probably due to how much she'd been resisting them a minute ago. "Yeah..bath sounds nice."
