Zelos Wilder says:

*Zelos usually preferred to arrive fashionably late whereever he went but for something like this... it didn't seem appropriate. So here he was, the Great Chosen Zelos Wilder, waiting on a beach for a girl, only this time it wasn't for some fun. This time, it was to apologize.*

Estelle says:

-Estelle arrived at their determined meeting point not long after he did, stepping up beside him and looking out at the water. She would be the first to admit that it was a little awkward, seeing him like this again, but she had resolved to apologize to him and try and clear things up, no matter how awkward it felt. It took a few moments, but finally, she spoke.- ... Hello.

Zelos Wilder says:

Hey. Sorry about your fairy. *His tone was short, something he hadn't really wanted but this wasn't a situation he normally found himself in*

Estelle says:

-she nodded.- She's ... in a better place, I guess. -she liked to believe so, anyway.-

Zelos Wilder says:

I guess. *He managed not to scoff. Any place might be better than this. He shifted his weight from one leg to the other* I just wanted to tell you I'm sorry about what happened on new years. I guess my radar's kind of off in this place.

Estelle says:

-and now she shakes her head- I must have been leading you on, somehow ... and for that, I'm sorry, too. -she finally looks at him- I want to be friends, though, if it's possible.

Zelos Wilder says:

*He runs a hand through his hair, glancing at his booted feet in the sand and very conscious of the fact he still hadn't looked directly at her since she arrived.* You didn't, that was the curse talking when I said that. I just kind of assume that's what people want from me.

Estelle says:

Do all women act like they want something like ... that, from you in your world, Zelos? -forgive her curiosity, she just wants to understand him a little better.-

Zelos Wilder says:

*He bit back a laugh. Why was this funny?* Ahh, well, y'know... *He motions up and down himself with his hand* Look at me! Can't blame 'em.

Estelle says:

-she giggles a little. suddenly, Zelos was reminding her just a little bit of Raven.- I see ...

Zelos Wilder says:

*At her reaction, he risked a glance at her. This was going much better that expected. At least she wasn't asking him about all those things he'd said thanks to the curse* Yeah, so sorry I just assumed the same of you. I mean, cute girl alone with me at night on the beach? A guy can get ideas. I get the picture now, though.*He folds his arms loosely with a grin* Hands to myself, I promise.

Estelle says:

-she smiles brightly. she didn't want to ask about anything from the curse. she didn't think it was right that either of them had to blurt out things they didn't want to say anyway. no, if he wanted to tell her anything about that, she would wait for him to say it himself, without any other outside influence.- Thank you. -she looks back out toward the water, with a small, sheepish laugh- I really don't think I'm ready for a relationship like that with anybody right now. I do hope that I can be like that with somebody someday, though.

Zelos Wilder says:

*Relationship. Yeah, that.. hadn't been what he'd had in mind at all. No need to correct her though, that would just bring up unwanted questions.* They'll be a lucky guy, Estelle-hunny.

Estelle says:

-oops, you made her blush. she shakes her head.- A-Anyway ... now that we've gotten that out of the way, is there anything else we need to talk about?

Zelos Wilder says:

*He just had to laugh at that. She made it sound more like they were having a meeting than a conversation! Just gotta tease her* I think that was all that was on the agenda, unless there's any questions or comments to be brought up before the committee.

Estelle says:

-confuuuused blink?- Committee ...? -oops, there's the lightbulb- Oh-!! -and there's the laugh- Well, perhaps we should turn away from the agenda since the committee doesn't seem to have any opinions regarding the matter. -she turns toward him, raising an authoritative finger and trying to look as though she were the head of some important meeting.- I would like to make a motion that we go to get ice cream! Or coffee. Or tea. Whichever suits your fancy. All in favor?

Zelos Wilder says:

Aye! *He raises his hand with gusto, a grin plastered on his face. Estelle really is a nice girl. He thanks his lucky stars he didn't do anything to horribly mess her up.*

Estelle says:

-she raises her own hand- Aye! It's Unanimous! Now comes the decision of what we should get. Ice Cream, Coffee, Tea, or something else?

Zelos Wilder says:

Hmm.. why choose? Let's just get all three. *He laughs easily and turns back in the direction of the city, offering his arm genially to Estelle*

Estelle says:

-she takes the offered arm with another small laugh- That settles it, then. All three!

Zelos Wilder says:

*Sets off at an easy pace, arm in arm and chattering about nothing in particular (food, the weather, things he's found around the city), just glad to have been able to salvage the situation*
