September 6th - First night on the town

"High praise," Ryan chuckled. "I could be upset not getting a ten, but... well, I'll save that effort for more important things."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 10:56 pm

Veronica lets out a laugh. "Fair enough. I assume you will be saving zat effort for dancing?" She half-jokes, finishing her meal and folding the napkin carefully to the side of the plate.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 11:05 pm

"Anything worth doing is worth doing right," he said with a grin. "Particularly dancing."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 11:08 pm

"Eet sounds to me as if you enjoy dancing a bit more zen I realize. I must admit, eet I would not take you for one zat takes zee time to participate in eet."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 11:11 pm

Ryan gave her an odd look. "Really? Why's that?" he asked, pushing his own finished plate aside.

by **Veronica Glarette** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 11:16 pm

"You are always so busy, non?" She finally relaxes back against the chair again. "So many sings to do, so I assumed zat doing somesing like dancing was far down on your list off sings to put effort into."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 11:19 pm

"Well, the effort you put into dancing depends a lot on having a good partner," he pointed out, smirking a little at her.

by **Veronica Glarette** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 11:36 pm

"Hm, zis is true." Veronica smiles back. "So I can presume you will not be stepping on my toes?" She asks jokingly.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 11:37 pm

"Hmm... well, we'll just have to see, then won't we?" he said. So she HASN'T read through all of my blog. Good.

by **Veronica Glarette** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 11:44 pm

"I suppose so. I would say maybe we should make a bet about eet, but non, zat may be a bit too one-sided." She said a bit confidently.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 11:47 pm

"What stakes would you suggest, if it weren't one-sided?" he asked, smirking.

by **Veronica Glarette** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 11:57 pm

"Hm..." She taps her chin while she thinks for a few moments. "Could be somesing as simple as zee loser buys dinner next, or could be more broad in zat zee person owes a favor. Off any kind. Zee favor could be simple, or it could be very detailed. Leaves eet to be more open ended, non?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 12:01 am

"You're sounding awfully like a faerie now," Ryan said with a smirk, remembering his conversation with Vivienne. "But all right. Let's do that. One request. No limit."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 12:04 am

She raises a brow. "A...faerie...?" Obviously she was a bit confused now.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 12:17 am

"Long story. Involves a crazy chick and a sword. I'll tell you about it later, because right now, I think we're getting ready to see about the bet."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 12:25 am

"Crazy woman wis a sword. Sounds...a bit disturbing. Mais, you are correct." She said with a confident smile. "I am looking forward to zis."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 12:39 am

Ryan took a look at the check and reached for his wallet to pay. "To the dancing? Or to getting me over a barrel?"

by **Veronica Glarette** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 12:42 am

Veronica dug in her purse for her own wallet. "Getting you over...pardonne moi?" Apparently she had not heard that saying before.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 1:06 am

"Helpless. Out of my control. Under yours, more specifically," he said with a grin. He saw her teasing for her purse and waved it off.

by **Veronica Glarette** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 1:12 am

"Ah! Zat makes sense." After he waves her off, she doesn't argue. "Sank you, Ryan." She says with a smile. "And perhaps eet is not zat I am looking forward to you being helpless. More zat I am looking forward to winning." She had a smirk on.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 1:40 am

"What can I say, I like ambitious women," Ryan teased as he stood up, reaching for his coat. "Well, then, shall we go achieve and celebrate your victory?"

by **Veronica Glarette** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 1:46 am

"Sounds like a plan to me." She stands as well, slipping her jacket on. "You said a few blocks?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 1:55 am

He nodded. "Around the corner, up a couple blocks. Why, do you just want to walk? Give yourself some time to contemplate your prize?" He asked, holding the door as they walked out.

by **Veronica Glarette** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 2:02 am

"Oh I already haf eet in mind. Always haf a plan, non? Walking or riding, eet is up to you." She says as she steps out of the building as he holds the door. "Sank you."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 2:07 am

"Well, we'd probably spend just as much time waiting for the car as we would walking," he reasoned. "Or we could fly, I suppose."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 2:09 am

"Are you sure zat is wise?" Veronica asks, looking at him with a raised brow.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 2:15 am

"How do you think I usually get place by myself?" he asked.

by **Veronica Glarette** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 2:22 am

"Hm, if zat is how you normally do eet, zen very well. I trust you." Veronica says. Adjusting her jacket a bit, she slings her purse around her shoulder so she knows it won't fall. "Roof access?" She asks, wondering how exactly he actually gets in or if he just drops right in front of the door.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 2:33 am

"No, no, nothing like that." He shrugged out of his jacket. "You told me you wanted me to be myself tonight. That being the case? Here's one little fact you need to get used to." He put his jacket around her on her shoulders, then stretched his arms as his wings coalesced on his back, the shirt apparently being one made to accommodate them. "Sometimes, you just have to make a flashy entrance," he said with a grin, holding his arm out to her.

by **Veronica Glarette** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 2:42 am

"Zis is going to be...interesting." Veronica pulls his coat around her and steps forward to his offered arm. There is a definite smile on her face and it's quite obvious she's looking forward to the flight. The publicity? May be a bit different for her to get used to.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 3:00 am

The flight was short, two blocks being a rather fast trip by wing. Ryan didn't take them too high or fast, though, not with a one-armed grip around her waist. Fairly soon they were landing in front of a club announcing itself as The Glow, to much gawking and not a phew phone cameras beeping.

Ryan apparently knew the man at the door, though, and they were let through, Ryan slipping the guy a tip as they passed. Inside, the music hit them a bit harder than the neon glow of... Well, everything. It was literally a colorful location, and she'd probably be able to pick out an obvious mutant or two among the crowd.

by **Veronica Glarette** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 3:08 am

The various beeps of the camera phones made her withdraw a bit, trying her best to (as per her usual) make herself look small and unimportant. Once they enter and she sees the various people including a few obvious mutants, she relaxes substantially.

"I did not sink such acceptance was so possible." She says, leaning towards him as she spoke so she didn't have to yell over the loud music.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 3:20 am

"We kind of took it over," he answered in kind. "We made for good press our first visit, and people for some reason don't like to make trouble in a club where superheroes are known to hang out. Double bonus. Don't know if he really likes mutants or if he just knew a good bandwagon to jump on, but it doesn't really matter." Ryan checked their jackets as they went in. "Thirsty? Or do you just want to dance?" He asked, giving her a wicked smile.

by **Veronica Glarette** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 3:22 am

"Safety in numbers, non? And I sink a drink first sounds wonderful. Would not want you to lose zee bet so quickly." She smirks back at him.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 3:30 am

Ryan just smiled at her answer. The bar was a little quieter than by the dance floor. Ryan, as was (now) usual for him, ordered a martini, then slid his card across to the bartender while letting Veronica order.

by **Veronica Glarette** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 3:44 am

Speaking with the bartender, she orders a B&B on the rocks. As their drinks are made, she leans again to talk to Ryan. "Zis place feels very open and welcome. I haf to say, eet is actually most impressive. Nosing like zee clubs in Nice."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 3:49 am

Ryan put his hand on her back, partly to facilitate the conversation, partly to warn off any guys that might think about poaching his date. "That's why I picked it. What were the places like there?"

by **Veronica Glarette** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 3:53 am

With his hand on her back, she smiles and answers. "If you could actually get inside, eet was always packed. People shoulder to shoulder and zey were so rude. A lot off drug use as well. Zat is part off zee scene a lot when it comes to clubbing as off late, I suppose. Zee drinks were well oferpriced and not quality. Basically eet was...erm...how do you say..." She tries to come up with the word.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 4:02 am

"Sounds pretty sketchy," Ryan said. "Plenty of places like that in London, but I don't see any reason to go there."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 4:03 am

"Zey were very sketchy. However, sometimes it was nice to just get away from home for even a small while."
