[closed] anniversary

[unkindled_madness]

Who: Sephiroth unkindled_madness, Loki dothelokimotion
What: It's their friendiversary! Smoochiversary? They've been Something for a year.
When: April 9th
Where: Sunset Falls
Content Warnings: None.

[Things have been a little shaky between them of late, but as they promised at the start, they are working to mend it. This relationship, whatever anyone might want to call it, has lasted a full year. It's an achievement that Sephiroth would not have thought himself capable of... connecting with someone, and holding onto that connection.

That seems worthy of acknowledgement, even celebration. Perhaps especially because of Loki's recent doubts, Sephiroth has taken it upon himself to create a memorable evening.

Or at least try to? He does not have Loki's dramatic flair. He does, however, arrive at Loki's door with a bouquet he chose himself after researching flower meanings, because research he can do.]

...I suppose I find the steak appealing. It sounds... rich.

[dothelokimotion]

Let's try that then.

[unkindled_madness]

You don't want to choose your own?

[dothelokimotion]

No. This time, I'm happy to try your choices.

[unkindled_madness]

[...oh.]

...all right then. We'll try that then.

[He closes the menu, and after a few moments the waitress comes to take their order. However, she does also ask after drinks and Sephiroth does Not know the wines.]

[dothelokimotion]

Red wine. It'll go well with the steak.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth nods.]

Yes. That.

[And off she goes!]

...I suppose we don't often eat together. Do you commonly patronize these sorts of places?

[dothelokimotion]

I have, from time to time. It's not uncommon and I do like to be waited on.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth smiles.]

Of course.

[dothelokimotion]

It can be fun. And a good way to try something new.

[unkindled_madness]

I did try pho recently.

[dothelokimotion]

Pho?

[unkindled_madness]

It's a kind of broth with rice noodles and beef.

[dothelokimotion]

Did you enjoy it?

[unkindled_madness]

[Did he??]

...it was flavorful.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki smiles knowingly. ]

But did you enjoy it?

[unkindled_madness]

...I might, if I tried it again.

Mark brought it, after our... argument.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he stills for a moment, before pushing it down. ]

I see. That was kind of him.

[unkindled_madness]

Yes.

He's a very strange man.

[dothelokimotion]

He is that.

[unkindled_madness]

Does he do good work for you?

[dothelokimotion]

I have no fault with his work.

[ loki fiddles with his wine glass. ]

He just seems to want dialogue a lot.

[unkindled_madness]

He does like to talk. [An understatement, really.]

Does it irritate you?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki shrugs, setting the glass down. ]

No. But I'm his boss. I doubt the motive is to know me as much as it is to keep his employment.

[unkindled_madness]

...you doubt his sincerity.
