Dinner out

[closedcircuit]

Characters: Ky Kiske and Dizzy
Location: Middle District
Time: Early Evening
Style: Prose?
Status: Closed

For all the Dizzy seemed to be doing well here -- as well as could be expected, at least, with this place constantly playing with their minds -- Ky certainly understood that the people here weren't all that much like who they had known before, and that even just having a familiar face around could help with this place. Besides, it was Dizzy, and Ky would happily help her however he could.

He couldn't claim entirely selfless motives for inviting her out to dinner. He did enjoy her company quite a lot and her view of the world was always refreshing to be around. Still, he was okay with it being mutually beneficial as long as it was that, so he stood outside the restaurant, waiting for her.

He spent a moment considering that, and the smile that he could see. "I think that I might understand."

And he was equally sure that the feeling didn't mean the same thing for both of them.

"I should be able to arrange my schedule some to allow that more often if you wished." It was true that he didn't have as much here to keep him busy. He could see a danger in spending too much time with her like this, though, where his thoughts might go where they weren't allowed to.

"Perhaps you could introduce me to some of your friends, if you still wish to."

/sorry I'm being so slow ;;

Her smile only brightened more, when she heard that there was a chance they could spend more time like this.

"I would love to." she answered when he mentioned her friends. Perhaps Ky would also make friends with them? As much as she knew how important his work was to him, she really hoped he would.

Really, don't worry about it

"Then I look forward to it." He could set aside his work for a while to make her happier, he felt. He wasn't the only one who had difficulty with this place, he was sure, and if she wanted him to meet her friends, then he'd like to.

"As well as...spending more time the two of us." His cheeks turned a little red, as he glanced away. "That is, if you wanted to."

[innocentgear]

"Of course I do!"

Dizzy was grateful for being here. Though she missed her Sky pirate friends, in here, she was given a chance to get to know Ky better and spend time with him.

She liked the time when there was just him and her.

Seeing Ky's face turning slightly red, Dizzy leaned closer, giving him a bit of a worried look.

"You're face is getting red... Are you alright?"

[closedcircuit]

Ky leaned back a little, trying to keep himself from getting any more red.

"Ah, yes, I'm fine. Just a little..." He waved a hand, hoping he could get off from explaining. He knew that some of what he was feeling for Dizzy didn't belong in the context of their friendship, and he should therefore do his best to not let it intrude any further than into his own mind. It would probably be best if the next time they met they met around Dizzy's friends, when Ky would be better able to keep his thoughts from running down paths they shouldn't go, keep him from wanting to ask questions like 'what if he told her how she beautiful she looked today?'

"Have you had a chance yet to think about what you might like to order?"

[innocentgear]

"Just a little...?"

Dizzy looked at him confused and still slightly worried. She didn't understand why Ky's face had gotten so red all of a sudden. Still, if he said that he was fine, then she had to believe him.

"Ah, no... I haven't..." she made a thoughtful look. "What should I order, I wonder...?"

[closedcircuit]

He didn't want to make her worried, but it was much better to drop it if he could get away with doing it. She didn't need to be burdened by his feelings, and he should have been better to control himself instead. For now he was trying to concentrate on the menu, rather than her.

"Whatever sounds good. I can't recommend anything at this restaurant, I've never been here before."

[innocentgear]

"Whatever sounds good..."

She looks at the menu, then points a few things in it.

"Then maybe this... and this...?"

[closedcircuit]

Ky nods to her, smiling cheerfully. "They seem like good choices. I hope that you enjoy them." He doesn't know how much Dizzy generally eats, but he also doesn't know how large the portions in this restaurant usually are. He studies the menu for himself, picking out what he wants before returning his full attention to her.

"It's really nice to have you here."

[innocentgear]

She smiled at him.

"You, too." her smile only got bigger. "I'm glad you're here with me."

[closedcircuit]

"Of course." He'd rather be back in the police office than in Vatheon, but Ky had no doubts over his own desire to be out to dinner with Dizzy. She did look so...happy, when she smiled. It was humbling to think that he was at least partly responsible for that.
