then there's nothing left to do

Date & Time: 7.30pm 2/9
Location: bar entitled the Crown
Characters: Roslyn & Kate Kane
Summary: Music and a meeting of undetermined nature. Following from here.
Warnings: likely none.

[ It had been a spur of the moment thing, really. She'd found the flyer among her things, brought back late one night undoubtedly, and then she'd texted Kate out of curiosity over whether she'd accept and interest. Kate was fascinating, and she wanted to see her outside of the formality of the party or the atmosphere of the training room.

So now here she was, black jeans and a grey t-shirt (and it was only after she'd left that she'd remembered their conversation on clothes and pulled a face at her own monochromatic approach), hair pulled back into a ponytail as she takes a seat at the bar and waits. She's a few minutes early. Time enough to order a glass of something to turn around and around on the bar in front of her. ]

Comments

[gevurah]

[ She merely smirks. ]

Enough depressing chat. [ Although, it's not that depressing, but it does put a damper on the mood. ]

You got any plans for Valentine's?

[boughtabookstore]

[ Oh good, Kate's actually good at this sort of thing. An interested smile at the edge of her mouth. ]

I don't, as it happens. Why? Do you?

[gevurah]

No, but I could always change that.

[ Hint: we could change that. ]

[boughtabookstore]

[ Generally she's not that good at hints. In fact, she's not that good at them right now, but she wants it to mean that so she's going to choose to believe she's getting it right. ]

If you wouldn't mind the company, perhaps we could get dinner.

[gevurah]

I wonder if they've got any fancy sushi restaurants here. [ She really misses sushi and other seafood. ]

But I'd love to.

[boughtabookstore]

It's not extremely fancy, but there is a good sushi restaurant. [ She is actually just so pleased with herself and having been here long enough to know the restaurants pretty well. ]

I'd love to take you there.

[gevurah]

That's probably one of the best news I've heard here so far. [ She's mostly joking, but her favourite food is sushi and it's been months since she's sunk her teeth into it. ] They don't exactly have tourist pamphlets on where to find the hottest spots.

[boughtabookstore]

Then it's a date. [ Casual enough, and sort of a gauge as to how Kate will take that phrasing. ] You're right, they really don't. I only know where things are because over the past year I've had a great deal of free time on my hands.

[gevurah]

How do you pass the time here when you do?

[boughtabookstore]

Initially I explored and gathered what data I could. These days, I mostly just relax.

[gevurah]

Anything interesting you've learned here?

[boughtabookstore]

I know where all the good bars and the interesting ruins are, and I suppose the restaurants too. [ Because she is not getting into any of the actually serious things that have been learned over time. ] Mostly between missions it's uninteresting.

[gevurah]

Have you been to the outlands yet?

[boughtabookstore]

I have. A few times on my own, and once with an acquaintance on a mission. It's an interesting place, but inhospitable.
