"That's true," Blake said, he could imagine that she did like weird, though it had never really been his forte. Then again, his parents would have said otherwise. Between his sexuality and his choice of work they'd never been particularly understanding even if they loved him and judged far more his work for the state department instead of the private sector than who he's dating.
"Do you?" he asked but he looked amused as he did, taking a drink from his glass.
Weird, in general for Alex had very little to do with things that had to do with her sexuality. She was drawn to the weirdness of the stories in Washington, finding what was in the underbelly versus what was there in the light of day. It was something almost fun for her, to dig through the secrets that people possessed and that they tried to keep hidden. It was an enthusiasm that spread through Alex nearly constantly, and she tends to wonder if that's why some people were drawn to her.
People like Blake for instance.
Taking a sip of her wine, she just shrugs at him once more with a little grin. "Yeah, I mean I just assumed you weren't interested in that way, so I kinda put those feelings in a box because I was just glad to meet you."
"For my excellent sources and ability to get into nice restaurants?" Blake questions with a raised brow and he's teasing her. There's still a bit of him that's feeling defensive but he's gotten used to that over the years. He'd constantly had to defend his sexuality with previous partners, with his family for a while even.
She wasn't making him do that so at least it was nice that she simply accepted it as it was the moment she found out.
