*Poe turned back to him, her pale violet eyes meeting his. She swallowed nervously.*
"Truly? And..."
*She bit her lip for a moment.*
"You would not tell anyone else...what you saw?"

Only Scully.
"No," *he promised.* "I mean, yes, truly, and no, I won't tell anyone."

*Poe's gaze narrowed, but slowly she started to shift into her natural form. She still looked nervous, waiting to see his response.*

*Mulder just stared, aware that it might be rude but not able to do anything else. He couldn't have imagined this in a thousand lonely nights fueled by warm beer and hentai. He thought she looked uncomfortable, but here he was, finally seeing the proof of everything before his eyes. And it was beautiful.
He shook his head.*
"You're... gorgeous."

*Poe just stared at him a moment, trying to decide if he was making fun of her. But....he wasn't. He was looking at her, the true her, in a way that she had never been looked at before. She felt her cheeks flush. Not even the Doctor had looked at her like that, he's mind to analytically to allow such thoughts.*
"You mean...you are not displeased?"

*Mulder waved his hands.*
"Oh, no! I mean, I can't say it's not been an eye-opener, among other things, but... Poe, I've been searching for beings like you for my entire life. Just... to know you exist. Learning that, and being given the privilege to see into your people, your culture, just a little bit; well, that's worth way more than sex."
*He looked down, remembering he was naked.*
"Not that that wasn't great, too."

*Poe looked a little confused. Was sex not the pinnacle of the human existence?*
"So you would...see me again? If there was no monetary exchange?"

*Mulder blinked.*
"I think you'll find that most human males will accept free sex, yes," *he said dryly.* "Or were you thinking of paying me? Nevermind; it's a joke. Poe, I'd see you any time. Even without sex."

*Poe looked excited for a moment, but then her eyes darkened.*
"Because of...what I am?"
*She slowly shifted back to her Primary Human Female.*

*Mulder watched her.*
"I admit, I find you fascinating. I won't lie about that. But you've been really honest with me, and I like that. I like... strong women." Or whatever. "Is it so strange to enjoy the company of a well-traveled woman, with interesting stories to tell? Or are all your relationships strictly business; a collector/collectee transaction?"

*Poe started to answer, but then shut her mouth promptly as she thought of the Doctor. And Erik. And Jake. Her face colored slightly. She thought of telling him that things like that were forbidden, but then she remembered the Doctor's advice about trying to do what she wanted. She wasn't sure this was what she wanted, but she was considering it for the sheer effort of spiting herself.*
"No, not all of them. I will see you again. Without sexual services. If you'd like."

*Mulder smiled.*
"I say we decide that as the circumstances arise," *he said. He had so many questions, but he knew they made her nervous; he didn't want to short circuit her or whatever so quickly. But his blood was buzzing with the heady fact of her existence.*

*Poe stood and fastened the robe properly before glancing back to him.*
"So....you will go now? And return later? Or...we will...meet elsewhere? At an appointed time?"

*Mulder took this as his cue and rose as well, dragging on his clothes with a not unpleasant ache in his muscles.*
"What would you like?"

"I am not permitted to want..."
*Poe caught herself answering instinctively and promptly tightened her lips. Remembering what the Doctor had said, she nodded faintly to herself.*
"What...would you like?"
