Dinner for two"...no raw fish." He shook his head back at Zeke, easy enough, shoulders rolled in a shrug. Ever meant it when he said he didn't much care where they went, what they'd eat. This wasn't a passive aggressive whatever that would result in annoyance later, it was simply the truth. Food wasn't high on the things Ever gave a s**t about. "No, uh, foam on anything. You know what I mean. The weird food." He gestured, as he said it, a rolling sweep of one hand like he was piling up foam on a plate. "...and pick somewhere that serves alcohol, I definitely want a drink."

Dinner for twoSo sushi was out, which was fine. Ezekiel liked it well enough, but e had to be in the mood, and right now he wasn't. His head did tilt at the second mention. "Foam?" He knew the food scene in New York was on the adventurous side, but really? "Is that a a real thing? We can definitely say no to foam." Was it even food? Rolling onto his back, he considered their options. "I'm pretty sure I saw a steakhouse down the street when we were making our way here from the portal." It wasn't anything he'd ever heard of, so not a chain franchise, but it looked nice enough, and if it was still running in downtown Denver it had to be good, right? "How's that sound?" On a blind reach he let his hand hang off the bed so fingers could brush Ever's leg.

Dinner for Two"...yeah. Sure." He shook his head a little, offering Zeke a quirk of a smile and then a hand to help him up off the bed. He probably would have said okay to just about anything, though: thai or indian or falafel, even. However it went, he was likely to spend more time getting a drink than anything else. "No giant t-bones or anything, though." His eyebrows went up, slowly.

Dinner for two Zeke rolled up easily onto her feet, and took the opportunity to wrap strong arms around the taller man. "T-bones are overrated." Head turning, he lay a kiss against the side of that pale neck. "They not really that good. I mean Filet is tasty, but you only get a tiny chunk with a T-bone, the rest is all strip." Another kiss, because he could, then he was loosening his arms and stepping back. "You want something really good, get a center cut sirloin." A grin was flashed up at him as he bent to grab his jacket off the foot of the bed. "Lean and flavorful, but you can't get it cooked father than medium, or you ruin it." He held the door for Ever, grinning.

On the RocksThe place was expensive, and Ever dealt with this by not looking at the prices -- or trying, at least. Somehow, he'd end up ordering the cheapest thing on the menu anyway, with fries instead of vegetables, and something off the drinks section that was pictured in a glass about as big as his head. It would probably taste like jolly ranchers and he'd regret it immediately, but it was still hard to turn down. Zeke, of course, could -- and almost certainly would -- order whatever he wanted, while Ever sat with his chin in his hands and his eyes a bit distracted, taking in people around them instead of the one person in front of him.

On the RocksZeke had indeed ordered what he'd wanted. Sirloin; 8oz, cooked medium rare, with a side of steamed vegetables. He's also ordered a seasonal beer, Sam Adams Oktoberfest. He had paused in eating to take a drink, and pale eyes had lifted to Ever, watching him as he watched everyone else around them. Curious, the Mist brought hi arms up to rest elbows on the table, fingers lacing over the top of his glass. "How's your food?" His expression was curious, thoughtful.

On the Rocks
It took some time to bring Ever back into focus, but when he did, it was with a grin. The food he was indifferent toward and the drink was, indeed, too sweet, but he'd gone through enough of it now to have some impact, and he liked the people, at least. "It's weird to see people in sweaters."

Over IndulgenceBy the time they left the restaurant, Ever had had enough to drink that he was wobbly, elbow resting on Zeke's shoulder for support, a little out of balance. His outer layers were unbuttoned despite the chill, cheeks flushed from both the booze and the weather. He wasn't drunk, just... well. Maybe a little. "What now?"

On the RocksThe grin had a slightly reassuring effect, and Zeke found himself smiling back. It was damn near automatic at this point. The comment had him looking out into the crowd of couples and group, and he did indeed see a good number of sweaters. They had been seeing a lot of sweaters since they had arrived, actually. A brow twitched, as he brought his attention back to Ever. "Not much use for them in the climate we're accustomed to." The corner of his lips twitched a little higher, definitely amused, as he took in how much of Ever' drink was gone. He unfolded his hands, picking up fork and knife again, and cut a small piece off his steak, offering it, and his fork, over. "Try this."

Over indulgenceA strong arm was curled around Ever as he leaned on him, and he wondered, idly, just how much alcohol was in that over sized drink. "Now we walk," he laughed, tightening his hold on him as he started them walking at a sedate pace down the side walk. "If you want, we can go and see what sort of night life Denver has. I'm sure there are bars, or clubs." Of course, even as he said it the hand on Ever's side was sinking down to rest on his hip. "Or head back to the hotel. Since you and gravity aren't getting along so well at the moment." He grinned, teasing. "Thanks for dinner."

Over indulgence"...I had a choice about dinner?" It was mock shocked, easily joking, comfortably putting his weight on Zeke's shoulders -- and, yes, Ever did need the support. It was possible the hotel was the best decision, but he wasn't inclined to make the best decision right now. "I feel like I could still eat more, maybe. Ice cream. I could eat ice cream." Entirely inappropriate dessert in the chill autumn air, and Ever saying he wanted food...he shook his head. "Or more drinks. We could do that instead. Up to you."

Over Indulgence"No," he grinned, giving Ever's hip a small pinch as more weight was settled on his shoulder. "But that doesn't mean I can't appreciate it." He did. Not just that, but Ever's company on the trip, and in general. His head tipped, disbelief, as Ever expressed an actual desire to eat. Rare, that, and not something the man could really say 'no' to. "Ice cream." Or more drinks. He suspected he'd be carrying Ever back to the hotel if he poured more liquor in him just yet. Maybe after he had a little more to eat. "I'm pretty sure I saw I Cold Stone near the corner." Which was the direction he steered the teller man in, chuckling softly under his breath as he too shook his head.

Over IndulgenceEver could be generous, when he was drunk: he'd pay for the ice cream, his own a mx of vanilla and bananas and cookies, about ten times the amount he'd actually be able to finish but very appealing in the moment. As they arrived, the store was getting ready to shut down, and Ever's lingering and debate obviously annoyed the hell out of the dead-eyed young girl behind the counter. She just wanted to go home, and Ever wasn't cute enough to be worth it. Maybe, though, Zeke was.

Over IndulgenceWhile Ever internally debated with himself on what exactly he wanted, Zeke stood near the side of the counter the register was stationed at, elbows on the cool marble, chin resting on knit fingers. A disarmingly charming smile had been turning on the poor girl when they'd first walked in, and she'd looked up with that tell tale annoyance all service employees wore in the last half hour of business. It had thawed ice blue eyes, a touch. Now, his own ice scream sitting beside his elbow, he was keeping the young woman placated while his companion made up his mind. "Sorry about barging in so close to close." It was forced sincerity, but she didn't know that. "We just had a craving, you know?" Hazel eyes twitched to the side, watching the blonde.

Over IndulgenceIn contrast, Ever's blink as he directed the girl to put whipped cream on his was genuine, sincerely surprised, looking around for a clock. Was it close to close? In that case he'd finish it up, and slap down his card to pay for both of them, his own grin more goofy than charming as he gathered up his ice cream. It probably undid much of Zeke's flirting. They got a lot of drunk folks in here at this hour, certainly. "Have a good night." Still painfully, honestly real, Ever grabbing his ice cream and Zeke's belt look to drag him along. They could walk and eat, and at least Ever seemed in control of gravity at this point.
