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."

"So long as you keep me around for any dancing that doesn't involve a scorecard," Liam said. "Otherwise, what was the point of all this practicing?"
firstofitskind: (leaning back)

"I'm ready when you are," Liam replied, finishing off the last of his plate.

Liam waved their server over so he could take care of the dinner bill, and then slid an arm around Verity's waist as he led her down the stairs to the dance floor.

"No laughing if my skills aren't up to par," he said solemnly.

"It's a deal," Liam said, leaning in to offer what was sure to be the first kiss of many.

It was nothing fancy, just a simple two-step to start, though he was managing to keep his movements to the beat and looking loose and natural.

"Am I passing muster so far?" he asked.

"Glad to hear it," Liam said, his hands finding her hips and pulling her close. "That was a surprisingly accurate description of me the first time we danced together," he admitted.

"Ugh," Liam groaned. "That was terrible. You're terrible," he informed her, his tone one of complete and utter fondness that made the word seem like a term of endearment.
firstofitskind: (grin)

"Hm, did I?" Liam pretended to think about it. "I suppose you're right," he said, after a moment, leaning in to give her a quick kiss. "I did choose this." There was nothing quick about the kiss he punctuated that last statement with.

"I dunno," Liam mused. "I'm not sure I believe in 'random luck', but I find the idea of a prescient plant a little unsettling, so let's go with that."

"Not actually sure if that's better or worse," Liam said with a laugh, pulling her close again with a flourish as she finished that twirl.
firstofitskind: (excuse me?)

"Mmm, sounds like a cheesy reality TV show," Liam replied.

"Maybe a little," Liam admitted. But then, even his life pre-island would probably be considered weird by a lot of people's standards. Verity's too, for that matter.
