Two successes in the net!
Your impression makes me laugh. I've seen that trope enough to know what you're attempting, and it's not half-bad for something designed to be bad. We aren't very far apart to start with, but I lean in closer and lower m…
I grin and laugh a little at your response -- you're such a good sport! "Pie is a very serious subject." I sweep my hair over the shoulder opposite you to keep it out of the way and watch you demonstrate your pie-eating technique.
I try to look v…
I have to admit -- dessert smells pretty wonderful. They've warmed it up and heaped some ice cream on the side, and I'm pleased to see it's New York Vanilla rather than any of the other half dozen varieties, which are clearly inferior. The ice cre…
Ooh, five missing teeth? Really? You can have two dice for ick factor!
That makes me laugh. "No one likes dentists, Zach. But, it's nice of you to say, anyway. You have no idea how many times I've heard people sing the Dentist Song from Little…
Laughing at my terrible attempts to be cute. You get a die!
"The hygienists get the worst of it. By the time I get to them, the kids are usually calmed down. Usually." Except the ones we have to pry off the ceiling, anyway... "Most of the kids…
"Kind of. It's nothing half as exciting as what you do." Or even a quarter as exciting... "I'm a dentist, actually. We have a kid's corner out in the lobby with toys and coloring books and a TV for the kids. It keeps them distracted for a littl…
That smile... It's no wonder you're on TV. Take a die, heartbreaker!
I groan inwardly at the name, but it's with a laugh that I say, "The names of their dishes are terrible."
My eyes light up a bit at the mention of the movie. It's something I …
I didn't need you to tell me my ex is an a-hole, but it makes me laugh softly anyway. I do doubt John meant to apologize...but I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.
My, my, so gracious! And extra points for calling the ex an a-hole! T…
I made good use of my time. By some miracle, the iced tea had largely missed my hair. My dress would have to dry out largely on its own, although I had done what I could to aid it while gone. It was much-needed time alone, to give myself a pep ta…
I doubt you know what you're asking for, but you seem like a nice guy who knows how to handle himself. And John's a jerk, but he's also pretty transparent. And pretty harmless.
"Alright." I offer you a timid smile, then shoot a glare at John as …
I take a deep breath, try to smile and reassure both the waitress and my date that it's okay, it's just iced tea...even though it's really not okay. Of all the stupid, careless things to do to a person!
"I think I'll take you up on that," I answer…
I lean forward a bit to meet you halfway. I can hear you better, but I also like the coziness of being close while sharing your story. Watching your face, I can see how much you enjoy it and how much it means to you. For a moment, I almost forget…
"And I got a date with a TV star," I fire back smugly and lift my own iced tea in return. "And he's a pilot, too. I think I'm the one coming out ahead." My smirk vanishes beneath the rim of my glass as I take a sip of tea. "How did you get into …
"You're looking at the head cheerleader," I inform him proudly, albeit with a laugh. "You can't lead a pep rally if you can't shout over the rabble."
I am having fun, actually, and much to my surprise. I nod slightly. "I am! I have no idea what…
[OOC: That definitely earns a re-roll!]
I do like sports, and, yes, I've been to see the Pelicans once when my friend won free tickets through the local radio station. It was fun, something I wouldn't doing again.
Just as I'm beginning to relax, …
I hope that means the cane isn't a sensitive subject. If it were me, I wouldn't want to talk about it. Ever. But you can joke, and that's good. Still, I think I'll avoid the subject altogether...just in case.
"No," I answer slowly. I'm not ent…
I accept the proffered arm automatically, even before it really sinks in that my date needs a cane. I feel bad for him, and there's a sort of deja vu feeling -- I feel a little like I'm back home escorting Grandpa into the house for dinner. There'…
Okay, sure, it was pretty cheesy, but he is trying to be suave...and he isn't completely failing.
[OOC: Take a die!]
I remember too late that I'm out with someone who still opens doors for ladies, and I offer up a look of apology as I step out of …
I mutely shake my head. No, I've never been to Dolly Parton's Medieval Times before. I have heard of it though... Funny how you miss out on all of the touristy stuff when you actually live somewhere.
But I'm trying to be a good sport, so I say, …
[OOC: Take a die!]
Opening up the door for me? That's a surprise -- if chivalry is dead, nobody let Zach know. I'm definitely okay with that, so I let him tuck me into his truck like a gentleman. I'm still curious about the pirates we're visitin…
His compliment makes me smile in turn -- that semi-shy, pleased smile a girl gives when politely accepting a compliment she was hoping to hear. "Thank you."
[OOC: Dice thing. Let's award a die!]
I am ready -- as ready as I can be, anyway -- so I…
The chirp of my phone earns a look of annoyed impatience until I see who the text is from. Impatience quickly becomes a look of panic, then deliberate calm as I flip my hair back one more time. It's too late now to have put it up; after debating t…
