"Well we have all evening to grind out. Let's at least be bad and don't get back to late. We have plenty of time to blow and so much to explore. Each night we go out we'll try something new. It's just a wonderful feel to explore a city because you can never quite figure all of it out. Sort of like a neverending jigzaw puzzle that keeps on increasing in the number of pieces."
Darian said with a smile as he had his arm encircled around Shea while they walked down one of the main streets. They're were simply a part of the crowd that explored the city. There were plenty of studnets like themselves which the city thrived on for business and a source of employees. It was one of those college communities except so much better since there was magic to make it more interesting.
Darian ran his fingers against Shea's hand. Sure he had a couple guns on him but, this was casual. He wouldn't expect to use them they were just there out of his habit. What do you expect from a guy who's been learning to use them for all of his life. As Shea wore gems to keep her magic source nearby he kept guns and ammunition on his person. He shook his head. What was he worrying about. They had a city to explore!
"So where did you want to go first?"

He put his arm around her gently as he explained how you could never explore and know an entire city because he was right they were always building and adding things there was never going to be some place in the world that never changed. It was how nature and the course of life worked.
"Let's go to dinner first." she said with a smile.
She led him gently her arm around him to direct him where they needed to go to get to a small hamburger diner that she had been to when wondering the city alone one day. She smiled and pulled him into the diner. It was decorated in classic sixties fashion. Records on the wall. Waitresses in poodle skirts and saddle shoes. She smiled. It was a great place. A juke box in the corner played tunes from the era without having to pay.
She led him to a seat in the corner so they sat in one of those round booths. This way they could chose to sit together or seperatly and it would work. She smiled as she seperated from him and scooted into the booth on the right and sat close to but not in the center. She picked up the menu that was already there and scooted it over to where he might sit. She knew what she wanted already.

"Dinner sounds just fine."
He was more then curious about this burgers and fries thing having never had them before. In fact when you had an Italian chef that insisted on cooking only foods that were fit for his rank you missed out on alot of stuff. He felt her tug him along as they headed town the main street and got to a crossroads. Instead of going anywhere she entered the corner diner.
The music washing over him was strange and well interesting. As Elvis played 'You Ain't Nothin But a Hound Dog' he just shook his head for a moment. While the music was interesting he had his own preferences. Classical music through and through so far. He doubted that he'd ever change his tastes from that. He looked around at the decor and just felt like he had stepped into another era.
"Curious place."
He remarked as he felt her pull him to one of those corner seats and gave a smile and simply slid in till he was sitting beside her. Why not? These seats were actually quite comfortable but, he didn't want to make it seem like they were just a perfunctionary couple. They were friends who had deep feelings for each other. He simply declined the menu.
"You order for both of us."
He said with a smile.

Shea felt him come close and she let a small distance be between them. She looked at the woman and ordered two cokes and two of the double burger baskets. She smiled and nodded to the both of them and left taking their order with her.
"So what kind of movie would you like to see?" she asked looking over at him. "Anything really works for me so I leave it up to you."
She began playing with a napkin folding it in her hands into a different shape. She ended with a crane and sat it on his napkin with a smile.

He felt her settle in there was little distance between them as he heard her order the burger baskets and cokes. What the devil was a coke? He shook his head for a moment. It appeared that he had alot to learn as far as food and drinks could go. No matter he simply relaxed in the seat and trusted her order. If she said the stuff was good then he wouldn't doubt her word. He trusted her so he was going to have to let her lead him through this thing.
"Hrmmmmm maybe a historical movie? I'm a big fan of those movies since alot of them come out pretty well since they have something to work with. You can always learn such interesting things with them."
He watched her play with her napkin curious as to what she was doing. He couldn't tell at first in fact it was confusing him. Then he saw a shape slowly start taking form and his eyes widened. Soon she sat a neat paper crane on his napkin and he gave a smile.
"Wonderful, you have alot of talents I see truly wonderful."
He said with a smile as he placed his hand on her's for a moment.
"Thank you."

She chuckled and turned her hand in his to entertwine their fingers as she looked up at him.
"Historical movie sounds pretty good." she said with a nod and smiled at his reaction to the paper crane she blushed.
"Well, you get bored home alone all the time you have to find something to keep myself entertained." she told him with a smile.
She drummed her free hand gently on the table making no noise as she looked at the black and white pictures on the wall. It was all so nostaligic. It was perfect she loved this place it was definatly one of her favorite places to go and now she was getting to share it with Darian.
"Do you have any brothers and sisters?" she asked turning to look at him again.

He watched her smile and agree on the movie pick. That was good he always liked historical movies the best. They always did just feel more alive and real to him then other movies. Maybe he was just one of those guys who always liked a history movie. Probably because a good chunk of them were based off actual historical events in Europe. He always rather liked that part. Europe was a truly wonderful place to live in his opinion. Though it wasn't his favorite now that he was seeing Babylos and Arcane Academy.
"Well I know the feeling of needing a hobby to pass the time. It's why I learned how to take care of my guns and fix them up anytime they got damaged. You know make myself self-sufficient rather then dependent on my family's wealth."
He watched her drum her fings semi-impatiently or maybe she just liked drumming her fingers he didn't know. Hearing her second question he saw there drinks dropped off and he took a sip of it.
"Two brothers and four sisters. I'm the third oldest which leaves me with quite an inheritence but, far from the responsibility of taking over the family. All of them spoiled rotten and ego-filled."
He said with a mock sigh.

Shea looked over at him her lips curved in a warm smile as she let her drumming fingers stop and let her hand support her head just underneath her hair as she watched him speak.
"Well, I'll have to say I'm glad you are the one I met then. Because you aren't like them." she said with a smile.
"I don't have any siblings. I'm adopted and an only child. In some ways it was a good thing because I was bored and neglected and I wouldn't have wanted to put anyone else through that. I don't really have a place to go home to on holiday because if I did go home it would be to an empty house and that isn't a reason to go." she said.

He gave a chuckle and a smile. He was glad that she said he wasn't like them. He always felt different in some ways to his siblings. It was great to have an outside opinion on it. He watched her rest her head against her hand and gave a warm smile at that. She looked so peaceful and so full of ideas like each time she wanted to say something new and different. As if her words were building her her own destiny. It was nostalgic or whatever the word that Darian was trying to think of.
This feels absolutely wonderful.
When he heard her speak of the holidays he paused to look at her shaking his head firmly. That would have to be rectified. Sure his family was kinda spoiled but, they were good people down to their core and the holidays were always a big thing.
"That settles it I'm dragging you with me to France during the holidays, I can't have you sitting around and thinking they're a drag."

Shea couldn't help but smile and feel excited at the same time as he told her he would take her to meet his family. She wondered what they would be like. He had turned out nicely she couldn't imagine the rest of them being that bad.
"You know, that actually sounds like a good idea." she said. "I would like to meet your family and having somewhere to go would be splendid. I've never really had a true holiday just gifts arriving in the mail. Santa never came down my chimeny he sent gifts from UPS." she said and smirked and then chuckled at the thought. It was sad really that she had lived like that but she wasn't used to anything else so she really didn't know what she was missing.
"I'd take you to meet my family.. but they probably wouldn't be there. If they were they would fight. So maybe one day if we stay together.. that's if we are together of course I'll take you there one day." she said as the woman brought their hamburgers and french fry baskets.

"Well Santa is going to come the traditional way this year for you I garuntee it. My family is nice and they'll accept you very well and instride. You might want to strangle my mother when she talks too much of course. But, what's a person to do."
He said with a smile as he heard her talk more and listened. That was the key to this listening and responding. It wasn't a one way street it was a two-way street with multiple lanes. He knew that to make this work he had to respond and listen for her. And he wanted this to work. She was so nice and they clicked togeather so well. Like a gem being inlaid in the perfect jewelry piece for it.
"We'll make it work Shea. In fact we might enjoy making it work."
Because I don't want to let go.
The burgers and fries were set in front of them and he shot an eyebrow at it. This would take some getting used to. Still he began to eat the fries. Yes the fries were good. Very good. He'd try the burger after he finished enjoying them.

Shea watched as he ate his fries and he seemed to actually enjoy them. She dug into her burger after adding some mustard and ketsup. She put a napkin in her lap so nothing got dirty and she ate happily. She was really happy being here with Darian she didn't know if they were dating or not and she wasn't going to ask.
"I'd like that. Visiting your family at Christmas. That would be nice."
She ate a bit in silence alternating between french fries and her burger. Smiling at him as she sipped her coke. This was fun. It was like a real date just them out together having fun and enjoying each other's company.

Once he polished off the fries he looked at the burger with a tilt of his head for a moment. It did look like a very strange sandwich. Well then again not just strange incredibly weird. He had never tried this stuff before but, Shea seemed to be digging into it happily and he picked it up. He took a bite of it and chewed it several times. He kept on chewing it before swallowing it soon after and took another bite. It tasted interesting.
I think I can like this.
Pausing in eating this strange meal he gave her a smile.
"Then it's settled any of the holidays I'm dragging you with me."
He continued eating the burger concluding that he liked it and it was very tastey indeed.

It didn't take too long to put her food away. She hadn't eaten lunch well not much really and so she was much hungrier now that she was relaxed more around Darian. He was really kind and she was having one of the best times she had ever had with him.
"I'm glad you like it." she said noticing he was eating away as well. She leaned back in the booth to relax as she waited for him to finish. She wasn't in a hurry she was just waiting patiently seeming not in a hurry to get anywhere.
"Have you ever gone dancing? Like club dancing?" she asked looking over at him.

Noticing that she ate more this time he concluded that she was simply nervous earlier. Truth be told he was as well but, it never affected his appetite. Still it was good to see her eat more this time and he gave an inward simle at that thought. He saw the tab brought over and he simply paid for it with an easy flourish and he turned to face her question. He sipped the cold cola and paused to let it the soda and ice cubes swirl around.
This was actually rather satisfying.
"Club dancing?"
He blinked a few times and tilted his head.
"Afraid you hit me with another new thing."
Standing up he extended his hand and smiled.
"But, I'll try anything once."
