I mean, yeah.

[She's trying to be casual about it. She feels a little bad finding another man sexy, but there's just a familiarity about him that calls to her. It's not just the fact that he's got a great jawline and ass. Or that he saved her. It's something else.]

Can I tell you something crazy?

I listen to crazy all day. Shoot.

[If she mentioned anything about an ass, he was going to have to talk to Melvin about doing something regarding that.]

Obviously I've never met Daredevil until tonight, but like--

[She cuts off because she knows it sounds ridiculous. Alexis shakes her head and pulls back slightly to drink her wine.]

There was just something familiar about him. Do you think I like knew him in another life or something?

[This is where the guilt started to sink in. He hated lying to the people he cared about, had hated it when he'd had to hide this part from Foggy. Karen. It didn't feel any better lying to her about it. He tried to pick his words carefully, lessening the lie to omission as opposed to bullshit.]

Possibly. From what I hear... there's not much of him to see, so it isn't all that surprising that what you can see matches up with someone you might know, or knew in passing.

[Her nose scrunches in thoughtful consideration. She tilts her head as she contemplates the enigma that is Daredevil. It's driving her crazy. Like a song she's trying to remember the lyrics too. Her gaze focuses back on her boyfriend.]

Maybe I'll run into him again and ask him.

Of course you will.

[And now he had a new fear unlocked; Alexis running around trying to get in trouble so that she could run into a masked vigilante to ask him if she knew him. Jesus.]

[And maybe that thought crosses her mind for a moment. She's never been a stranger to trouble. She ends up in it without even trying. Things have been tame lately, but honestly, it's just a matter of time.]

I wonder what it's like being a superhero like that.

Probably very tiring. And dangerous. So don't get any ideas of slipping into spandex and going out to fight crime. No matter how good you'd look.

[He lowered his hand and moved to her ass to give it a warning smack.]

[She squeals at the snack and jumps. Alexis' eyes are bright with mischief.]

What about for the bedroom?

It'd be a little lost on me, gorgeous, but if it makes you feel good to wear it, wear whatever you want. I'll enjoy taking it off.

Okay, but like-- no, good point.

It needs to be more texture with you. Maybe I can find something really nice and silky.

Silky is good. Soft is good. Fur is... a guilty pleasure. Same with velvet and velour. Cashmere. Angora.

[He should stop now, but there was a look on his face as he was remembering running his fingers over some very soft, decadent things.]

It's going to get colder. [She studies the look on his face and grins.]

Maybe I'll set up a special treat for you. I'll have a nice spa day. Make sure my skin is all silky soft, and I'll be wrapped up in fur for you. Just fur.

[There was an all over body shudder as he thought about that treat, and his smile grew.]

I'd have to ask what I could do to return the favor.

[That's exactly the reaction she's looking for. Her fingertips trace up and down his chest, feather light.]

What would you like to offer?

Aha...

[He has to reach over and turn off the oven before he lets himself get distracted, which he knows she's angling for.]

Well, what would you like? I'm not, ah, well versed in what grooming techniques are available for men that a woman genuinely prefers.

I like you.

[Her tone is coy and playful. For a moment, her hunger takes a backseat.]

Maybe I can bank it as an IOU.

You could. Or, I could... join you? In a spa day? I'm not sure if that's... I mean, I don't know if it's a women's only thing or if you'd like the company, but if you're going to put in effort for me, seems only fair I return the favor. Besides, maybe it'll be good penance if they have to wax or burn things off.

Really? You wanna come to the spa with me?

[She's excited at the prospect. She hadn't been sure if it's something he's into, but now that she knows, she's already planning. She wiggles with her delight.]

We can do a couple's massage! I'll grab the menu and read out other options to see what you're into.

I've never been, so I wouldn't know what any of it is. Just saying that I think it's only fair that if you primp for me, I do the same for you. My input on it would be moot. But if you're up for it, then... I'll just let you pick the torture.

[Hey, he could refer to it as that. He'd heard women talking about spa days and what went on there. It sounded like torture.]

You're going to really enjoy yourself! It's so relaxing! Besides, Foggy and I have been reminding you to self-care more. This is the perfect opportunity! Just let me know what day, and I'll take care of everything.

They're not going to insert anything anywhere, are they?

[Look, he was willing to wax and oil and do whatever else she asked, but having someone else put thing in him was a no-no.]

[She blinks at him in confusion for a moment.]

What, no! There's like aromatherapy soaks with full body milk moisturizing and facials and manicures and pedicures and hot stone massages. They even have a light lunch with cucumber water!

So no... botox or jade... insertion things?

[Look, he heard a lot of things on the street. A lot of conversations wafted over to him about vajazzling and jade eggs for certain insertions and colonics and things that sounded anything but relaxing.]

No, babe. No one there is going to insert anything to you. Promise.

[She's grinning as she leans in to kiss the tip of his nose. Matt can really be adorable. Her smart, badass lawyer boyfriend.]

And you don't need Botox.
