Who: Madame Red (ladyinscarlet) and William T. Spears (gtfo_mypersonalspace)
When: October 13th evening
Where: The plaza, near the coral, later a restaurant
Style: Action if that's ok?
Status: Closed


[As had been settled previously by voicemail, Angelina is walking to the plaza near the coral at the appointed time to meet with William. As is her custom, she wears a red dress made in Victorian style. As it is a sort of date, she's looking her best, though the dress is not overly fancy by her time standards.

She might have been the one to invite William to the date, but she's still the lady, so she settled for arriving exactly 5 fashionable minutes late. After all, she's not going to stand there like an idiot waiting for any man. Not even someone like William, though he seems to be the type to arrive punctually. Either way, she's now arriving at the place, looking around for the reaper.]

[ Angelina will spot William right where they said they'd meet, waiting seemingly patiently, before he looks down at his watch.

He's dressed as he normally would be; black suit, black tie, black gloves. In fact, the only thing colorful about him is the bouquet of 6 red roses he has in his hands. William T. Spears may not have had many dates in his time, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know how to do things properly. ]

[And as she spots him, she could actually rush herself over to him. But she is a lady, and as such she gracefully glides in his direction. Perfect, he is indeed a very punctual man, just as she expected. What she did not expect, was the bouquet of roses, but it is a nice surprise.]

Mr. Spears, good afternoon. I must apologize for the slight delay.

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

Good afternoon, Ms. Durless.

[ He extends the bouquet to her, adjusting his glasses with the opposite hand. ]

Do not mention it. I assumed red roses would be the appropriate choice.

[ladyinscarlet]

You are most kind, sir, you need not have bothered. [She takes the bouquet, fairly pleased by it.]

As you thought, red roses are appropriate.

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

It would have been rude of me not to.

Have you decided on where you would like to dine, then? Honestly, I would be content with most anything.

[ladyinscarlet]

[She smiles gently at him.]

Well, I thought maybe we could go to a cafe. I know one that has a good selection of coffee, tea, and some light foods. Would that be fine?

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

Coffee would be perfect right now.

[ Coffee was always a good choice for William! ]

[ladyinscarlet]

It is all settled then, I know just the place. Shall I guide you there, Mr. Spears?

[Without waiting for an answer, she starts walking. But if he offers his arm, she will properly hold on to it, like a good Victorian lady.]

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

Yes, of course.

[ If he brought her roses, then of course he's gonna extend an arm! ]

[ladyinscarlet]

[She gladly takes his arm but she's the one doing the leading. She stops once they reach one of the many coffee shops in the shopping district. It's a small, but quaint place, perfect for a bit of privacy. And they have a good assortment of English type pastries and snacks.]

What do you think of the look of this place?

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

[ This is actually much to William's liking. He can actually seeing himself come back here on his own to sit and read and enjoy a cup of tea. ]

Very fitting.

[ He spots a free table and escorts her to it, being the proper gentleman and holding out her chair for her to sit. ]

[ladyinscarlet]

It is my favorite place for tea, I must say. It has a home-like feeling. [Meaning XIXth Century London, of course.

She follows to a table and sits down, enjoying his gentlemanly manners for a change. So many people in this world lack the knowledge of the basic rules of courtesy, in her opinion.] Thank you, Mr. Spears.
