WHO: Kenzi and Gil
WHERE: Some really nice steakhouse
WHEN: 4/14; 7PM
WARNINGS: Language
SUMMARY: It's a date!
FORMAT: Quick to start, whatever after that.

[As promised Kenzi arrives at the restaurant a little before seven (like five before); which is a feat given how often she's usually late. Since it would be out of place at this restaurant she hasn't gone all out on the dress up and hasn't overdone it with some stylish hairdo, just simple large loose curls. Simple yet stylish.

After coming through the door she quickly locates Gil and makes an attempt to sneak up on him. Although if he had any sense he would have been keeping his eyes on the door.]

How long have you been here?

[ He rises as well, although he's eyeing the bottle of wine. ]

That, too?!

[wisecracked]

Paid for the whole thing. [She grins as she turns for the door.] Besides, it's a really good wine.

[invoking]

[ He collects his things and races after her, pulling on her arm for a moment. ] Wait -- even if you're taking it home, you can't simply walk outside with alcohol. It's against the law.

[wisecracked]

[Kenzi jerks to a stop and blinks up at him. After a moment she glances down at the bottle. Well, that is an issue.]

Oh, good point... [With Gil in tow she goes to the podium at the entrance to request a bag to carry home her stuff in. A short while later she's presented with a paper bag big enough for the bottle and her dessert.]

This should be fine right? [Turning back to Gil.]

[invoking]

[ He can't believe they even let her do that. He sighs. ]

... I think so.

[ He looks out the door, pulling his coat on and buttoning it up since the temperature has surely dropped since they arrived. ]

Um... do you want to walk for a bit?

[wisecracked]

[They made money off the bottle, probably more than they paid for it...

Once outside Kenzi pulls her jacket tighter around herself]

Sure.

[invoking]

Are you walking back home? [ Maybe they could start in that direction. It's a ways off, he knows, but a little walk won't hurt. It'll do them some good after all the food they just ate. ]

[wisecracked]

I figured I'd fly but if you want to walk that's fine. [She smiles. She didn't exactly wear shoes meant for a long walk but she'll manage.]

[invoking]

Some walking would be good after a heavy meal like that. [ And the air may be cold, but it's fresh. He should probably enjoy this as long as he can before the thick, hot summer air returns. ] Oh, do you still want Ms. Natasha's number?

[wisecracked]

Flying burns off a lot of energy too. [Her telekinesis is part of why she eats so much. The rest is just because she's a pig.]

Mmn, I'll get it from you later.

[She falls silent for a few moments before speaking up again.] I'm glad you agreed to this.

Does it? You shouldn't use it so often, then. [ He knows what it's like. He lifts his left hand for a second, flexing his fingers. Having to use Raven last month was more tiresome than it usually is... probably because he hasn't invoked it in months. ]

[invoking]

[ Then he pauses, letting silence linger on a while as he tries to come up with something to say (and fight the blood rising to his face.) ]

Ah... It's fine. It's better than being stuck with April or the Deputy Mayor alone. [ Well, he still has that to deal with... ]

[wisecracked]

But I like flying.

You make it sound like you would rather not even have done this. [Kenzi shifts and bumps her hip against him as the walk, easily bouncing off him and right back into step.]

[invoking]

[ Realizing his error, his eyes widen and he frantically waves a hand. ]

I didn't mean it in -- not that way! [ Because he never signed up for this in the first place. It wasn't bad, but it had been nerve wracking. ] I'm not very good at this...

[wisecracked]

[She snickers softly and shakes her head.] It's okay, Gil. You're a virgin, I totes understand.

[invoking]

[ The red in his cheeks brightens. ]

KENZI!! THAT'S ENOUGH!

[wisecracked]

[Kenzi has to stop walking just so she doesn't fall over as she bursts into a fit of laughter. She didn't mean it that way but rather pertaining to actual dates and the likes.

Naturally Gil's outburst and Kenzi's laughter causes a few people to stare.]

[invoking]

[ Bright eyes dart back and forth between Kenzi and the onlookers. He wants to sink into a hole and never come back out right about now. ]

Don't talk about m-my personal -- just don't talk about those things!!

[wisecracked]

[It takes a few moments before Kenzi finally stops laughing enough to right herself and move again. She gasps and shakes her head.]

I meant with dates. [She starts to say more but figures he's probably embarrassed enough for right now.]

[invoking]

That is not what you meant!!

[invoking]

Argh! Forget it! [ Those passing by are still watching and he begins to walk as fast as he can down the street, shoving his hands into his coat pockets and grumbling. ]

[wisecracked]

Is too! [She scrambles after him as he walks a little too fast for her comfort in her totally nonsensible shoes.]

Wait up!

[invoking]

My life isn't a joke!! [ Is he sobbing? Maybe. ]

[wisecracked]

[She finally catches up, curse your long legs Gil.] I know, I'm sorry. I really didn't mean it that way though. I guess inexperienced would have been a better word but... [Since when does she think of using bigger words on the fly?]

[ The word hits him like a boulder to the face. ]
