Issue 1 Downtime Week 2-A nice date

Postby Jubilation Lee » Tue Jul 07, 2009 3:19 pm

Jubilee, now dressed in a pair of comfortable slacks and a red blouse, was walking along the street in Chinatown, arm-in-arm with Cassiel.

"I haven't ever been to this part of town. Do you know any good places, or are we just looking for a likely looking place?"

"I don't have anywhere in mind." Jubilee replied "I've been to a few good places already, but there are a ton more I haven't tried."

"Well, no sense in repeating places so soon. There's a place a block up that seems to have plenty of satisfied people in it."

Cassiel smiled back as they headed down the street toward the restaurant in question. "This is good," he sighed happily. "I needed to get away from the campus, I think."

"Its nice to go onto an honest-to-God date, instead of having to sneak time to see each other between crisises." Jubilee agreed, just as happy.

"Well, if the world's operating on our schedule now, we're going to have... oh, who am I kidding, we'll probably be abducted by aliens halfway through our meal."

"Maybe we can convince them to join us." Jubilee replied as they entered the restaurant "This place smells great."

"Well, it's a long way to get to earth, they could very well be hungry."

The restaurant's proprieter welcomed them in Chinese, and indicated for one of the waitresses to seat them. Cassiel gave him a small bow, thanking him in Chinese.

"<I learned it during my first trip to China,>" he answered. "<It's one of the few languages that I can read and write as well as speak, oddly enough.>"

"<Yes, well, to your credit, you learn your languages the honest way. All I need to do is find someone particularly verbose and passionate about it. Or a writer, if I want to learn to write it. If I'm lucky, I run across a poet and can get it all in one shot.>"

At this, Cassiel just reached across the table, lifting her hand and leaning down, brushing a kiss over her knuckles, still fixing her with a sly, riveting smile.

<Don't you dare!> Jubilee hissed, blushing more than a little and would have said more, except that the server showed up, and then she placed their order.

Cassiel smirked as he checked, again, what he wanted to order. He didn't do anything to Jubilee... but she'd find herself suddenly wanting him to. It was obviously a tease, since she'd be completely aware of what he was doing, but it was there nonetheless.

Tease. she thought at him, not trusting herself to speak for a moment I thought you weren't trying to make me your mind-slave?

Of course not. And if this will make you my mind slave, I've greatly overestimated your strength of mind, he teased.

Well, this could be where it starts. Jubilee pointed out Or it could just be that you are a terrible tease.

A good tease, at least. Jubilee replied, verbally thanking the server as their food arrived.

Do you need me to prove that I'm better than good? Cass thought to her, a telekinetic pressure starting at her ankle. Verbally, he also thanked the server.

After dinner, a demonstration might be in order. Jubliee replied as she started to dish up her food Maybe while we're walking back to my place.

Cassiel chuckled at that. Well, if you're so eager you can't wait, who am I to deny a lady?
