[ There's heavy amusement in her voice, and then she's quiet for a long moment, thinking. Planning anything with anyone was such a novel concept-- a pleasant and also slightly terrifying concept.

I think...as long as there is a way out, I'd like to see where it goes. With you...and him. Past that, I don't know. Unless they're wholly unrelated to Riftwatch I suppose.
That way if they're a terrible lay I never have to speak to them again.
I doubt either of us would want you to feel that there isn't a way out. You can always say you'd rather not. No one will try to pigeonhole you into something you don't want to do, I can promise you that.
[ Knowing full well that Sylvie can extricate her from just about any situation that displeases her; still, there's something to be said for avoiding the necessity. ]
I can't say I've had any experiences outside of Riftwatch; Rifters are considered such a unique puzzle that I'm never sure if I would run into someone who has decided I'm a fetish. [ Which, no thank you. ] But that's fair enough.
[ That isn't quite what she meant. But she doesn't know how to phrase it how she means and so she lets it go. The idea of if things didn't work out that it wouldn't be held against her. Issues she's never had to worry about before, or care about before. ]
Nothing wrong with a fetish if it benefits you as well though.

Except for the part where you begin to feel like an object and not a person in the other's eyes. [ A small noise that's the equivalent of a shrug. ] It's not my favorite feeling, to be honest.
[ Someone has had similar experiences with it. ]
So. What do you think, then? Should we do dinner? Drinks? Or am I being too pushy in my desire to think about things other than ghosts?
[ Bit harder for her to judge that when she's been the one using others to try and keep herself sane instead of as two people on the same footing. But she'll keep that too to herself. ]
Drinks. And then we can go from there that night. Eventually? You never know, you may get your Rifter orgy yet.
