A Club in Baltimore, Monday Night

Between snake cults, dragons, and now singing fish going evil for a lack of participation trophies, it had been awhile since Verity and Liam had had anything resembling a real date. So Verity had skipped out on her shift at the Devil's Nest and headed out to the mainland with him, dressed to kill (both literally and metaphorically), and looking for a good time.

The club they'd ended up at was a lot smaller and quieter, one where they could have dinner the second floor up and actually hear themselves talk. "Oooh, good call," she said as they were led to their table. "Dinner and dancing. It's like you know how to show me a good time."

"We could," Liam said. "But I wanted to show off how much I've been practicing the whole dancing thing." He was finally at the point where he didn't look, well, like an alien attempting to behave like they thought a human being might.

“I might’ve gone to, uh, a few handwavey classes over at the gym. General basic dance stuff.” Not that Verity hadn’t been a great teacher, but he’d wanted to surprise her.

He was working his way up to tango lessons, and those he wouldn’t be trusting to anyone else, naturally.

"Exactly," Liam said. "A chance to impress you with my... performance... is all I ask."

firstofitskind: (grin)

[personal profile] firstofitskind 2018-08-19 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
"I promise," Liam grinned. "There are some moves I have in mind that are not for public consumption. Your eyes only."

"And that's why we're getting a hotel room tonight," Liam said pointedly. "No prying eyes."
firstofitskind: (grin)

“I suppose technically speaking, we are paying someone for the privilege of having a room to ourselves with no interruptions,” Liam pointed out. “But magic sounds way better.”
firstofitskind: (are you sure that's a good idea)

"I did say 'no prying eyes'," Liam reminded her as the server dropped off their food. "That goes for your cousin too. I'll book us a portal to a completely different Baltimore if I have to."

Liam's own salary was hardly exorbitant, but he did through the magic of handwavey when it came to dimensions have access to a certain CEO's corporate account. It came in handy sometimes.

"We wouldn't be us if we didn't have a backup plan," Liam pointed out with a grin.
firstofitskind: (excuse me?)

"Hey now, things don't always explode. Sometimes they implode," Liam pointed out. Reasonably.

A statement that got them something of an odd look from the waiter, but Liam just smiled and shrugged.

“Not the kind of excitement I’m hoping for tonight,” Liam said.

“Controlled ones, I suppose,” Liam said slowly. Were they still being literal, or was she now talking about metaphorical fireworks?
firstofitskind: (a small smile)

[personal profile] firstofitskind 2018-08-24 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, I have no literal controlled explosions on the agenda, personally," Liam admitted.

The metaphorical ones, on the other hand...
