She smirked at him as she munched at her fries, savoring the flavor. "Well I guess my standards might have slipped a tad if I am even considering dating you!" She made sure that there was a lot of teasing to her voice as she happily roamed her eyes up and down the big man.

HonoRaven She smirked at him as she munched at her fries, savoring the flavor. " Well I guess my standards might have slipped a tad if I am even considering dating you!" She made sure that there was a lot of teasing to her voice as she happily roamed her eyes up and down the big man. He snorted and threw a fry at her, tossing it from between his finger and thumb straight at her forehead. "Watch it you, or I'll give you a spanking!" He said with a grin, before biting his bottom lip at the thought... sweatdrop whee No. Civilised, civlised, civlised...he repeated it like a mantra in his head. "So...this would be a date, huh?" He asked her coyly as he munched on a couple of fries. "Been a loooooong time since i've been on a date..."

Tomorrow He snorted and threw a fry at her, tossing it from between his finger and thumb straight at her forehead. "Watch it you, or I'll give you a spanking!" He said with a grin, before biting his bottom lip at the thought... sweatdrop whee She snatched the fry out of the air before it could hit her... she may have liked the taste of the grease, but she didn't want it on more of her skin than her fingers and her lips... besides, what he had said definitely needed an answer! " Only if you promise to kiss it and make it all better after I beg for forgiveness!" Tomorrow No. Civilised, civlised, civlised...he repeated it like a mantra in his head. "So...this would be a date, huh?" He asked her coyly as he munched on a couple of fries. "Been a loooooong time since i've been on a date..."" Hum, I suppose this is a date, although we have been friends so long that I'm not sure what we would do for a first date... somehow going to dinner and a movie just doesn't strike me as being as much fun as a lot of other things I could think of!" Hell, if she had ever been on a real date it had been a trick of one sort or another, just some guy looking to get in her pants and making it seem like he wanted something else entirely from her....

" Only if you promise to kiss it and make it all better after I beg for forgiveness!" He said with a cheeky grin. "Brilliant catch, by the way..."HonoRaven " Hum, I suppose this is a date, although we have been friends so long that I'm not sure what we would do for a first date... somehow going to dinner and a movie just doesn't strike me as being as much fun as a lot of other things I could think of!"

John said, leaning his steel elbow on the table and eating with his real hand, looking to her with a puzzled expression. "Do you think its okay that we're being...well, so easy going about it? Do you think our history should...get in the way, or something?" He looked down at his fries. He was almost out. "Not that I care, I've always felt relaxed around you...you have that effect on me..."

"Not that I care, I've always felt relaxed around you...you have that effect on me..."
"Leave the past behind us dear." She pushed the rest of her fries at him, finished for now. "You are not the center of my universe, but you have been a good friend for a long time... I would like to be a part of your life and let you be a part of mine... What more could anyone ask for?" It was simple and to the point, if rather blunt.

I would like to be a part of your life and let you be a part of mine... What more could anyone ask for?" It was simple and to the point, if rather blunt. He sighed a little, taking up her fries and chowing down on them too - waste not want not. "If thats what you want, i'm all too happy to oblige..." He said with a small smile. Unfortunately, at the moment, she was the centre of his universe. He had nothing....no-one else to turn to. Besides Maximos....but then, that could end just as badly as it could go well, considering their track record. He didn't want to freak her out though...he just wanted to make her happy. All he had to do was...be himself and be there for her. Which was what he would've done anyways, even if they weren't dating. It wasn't that hard to figure out. He finished the fries, beaming a smile to her. "Well, lunch is over - shall we start the torture?" He asked jokingly - he had the feeling he was going to be carrying a lot of shopping bags around for the next few hours...

She smiled and cleaned her fingers on her napkin nodding at the bag of popcorn. "Bring your snack, you won't need your hands at first... but let me know when you tummy starts grumbling again!"
She stood and seemed to pick a direction at random, her heels clicking on the floor tiles as she led him past the food court and to an escalator where they would ride up to the second floor. "What do you like better, shoes or boots?"

He said with a smirk, tossing popcorn into his mouth as he followed her, relishing the buttery goodness. HonoRaven She stood and seemed to pick a direction at random, her heels clicking on the floor tiles as she led him past the food court and to an escalator where they would ride up to the second floor. " What do you like better, shoes or boots?" It was a deep question for John. Although his skin was fairly hard to penetrate, areas like the wrist and ankles were obviously weak points which he couldn't afford to get attacked, so he usually wore heavy leather boots on his feet. "...Are we talking form, or function?" John asked, offering the popcorn bag to Raven as he stooped to enter the elevator, making sure to keep his power levels down so he didn't mess with the controls. "Coz i wear big boots when i fight, but if its just going out or something I dont really care what I wear..."Within reason. Though he trust her not to dress him like a ******** clown or something... sweatdrop

She had been quite serious when she told him that he didn't need to do anything just yet. Rave planned to get herself a change of clothes first! She headed right back to the change rooms and stepped behind a curtain. " What about fabric? Would you prefer leather, jeans or perhaps something that might give a bit more like a cotton spandex blend?" She wasn't gone but a moment before emerging in the new pants and headed towards the cashier.

Would you prefer leather, jeans or perhaps something that might give a bit more like a cotton spandex blend?" She wasn't gone but a moment before emerging in the new pants and headed towards the cashier. John had to change directions suddenly, almost stumbling as he veered after her - she was a pocket rocket, thats for sure! Watching her choose some pants almost on instinct, he stood outside the change rooms whislt she changed, surrupticiously peering over the edge of the curtain rail with a grin - he was definately tall enough. The cashier lady scowled at him though, so he fell back onto the balls of his feet sheepishly and leaned against the wall besides the curtain, looking out into the shop. This place.....was alien to him. "I need something that breaths on my body, otherwise i risk overheating..." He said, jumping suddenly as she emerged from the store wearing the pants she's aquired, watching her walk as he moved with her to the cashier, following after her with long strides. "But i prefer jeans. They're more durable then other types of fabrics, plus they aren't as flammable as most...but like I said. Form and function."

She hadn't minded him looking over the curtain, although there wasn't much to see from that angle! The new pants paid for, the old ones went into the shopping bag which she hung around her wrist.
"So breathable, but fire resistant... that excludes all man made products, and I know a place that does a good chemical treatment on finished fabrics that makes them much more fire resistant... I need that on anything I plan to play in." She had a black belt in shopping and knew how to use it!
"So, we get you some nice things, you pick what you want to wear today and I send the rest off to my tailor..." A shoe store came up and she marched right in, heading right for the mens' section and looking for good leather boots, not exactly as clunky as military issue or work mans style, but a lot more durable than the fancy crap. "What size are you?"

((10 1/2 AUS IRL...but John's a lot bigger then me, iso i'll have to bump that up a few! 3nodding ))
He needed fire resistant clothes for the fact that, if he had an electrical outburst, he didn't want his clothes catching on fire! "Damn, you're good at this..." He muttered, striding hard to catch up to her, his popcorn almost gone.
Entering the shoe shop along with her, his mind span at the range of shoes around them - how hard is it to find something to cover your feet?! "Er...okay. I'm about..." He paused, placing the popcorn on the ground and sitting in a chair, lifting his foot to his knee to check the underside of his boot. "...Size 16. Apparently."

She chuckled and started pulling boxes off of shelves and dropping them on the floor beside him. "I get a lot of practice... ever tried hurling fireballs when your sleeves keep trying to catch on fire? It was a nightmare trying to fight in those lacy things that were in fashion a hundred years ago.... Shopping is a hobby, something to do that is so different from everything else that I do, that it can be relaxing at times in this day and age..."
She pulled a stool over to grab a couple boxes from a higher shelf, not bothering to worry over flagging down a staff member. "Try those on... Make sure they don't pinch.. jump around in them and try a couple of running steps along the isle... it is just too bad that they never give you a test drive on shoes. I will be back in just a minute!"
Putting the last few boxes down so there was now over half a dozen she whisked down the isle to do a quick check on the ladies side for anything nice.

"Hmph..." He grunted. John had always dressed for function - if it tore, he replaced it. Simple. There had been a few times when he'd needed to dress up....he cut a pretty nice figure in a tuxedo, if he didn't say so himself...
"Right." He said to her as she walked away, looking at the boxes all in front of him.
He unlaced and pulled his boots off with a grunt - to be honest, they were a little tight. Flipping the lid on the box in front of him, he immediantly dismissed it - it was a pull-on type of boot. He needed laces - they provided extra support around the ankle and heel and the front of the foot, and didn't have the risk of flying off if he tried to jump or kick someone in the guts!
He tried on the other set of boots, jumping up and down at first, before realising that it might not be the best thing to do - it was making the shelves wobble! He walked in great strides up and down the aisle instead, getting a feel for the boots.
He tried on the others, doing the same - stamping his foot, kicking the chair a little to see how it shifted on his foot, making sure the laces were tight - before sitting back, putting his own back on, about three boxes sitting beside him that he'd chosen from the others - one black pair, one brown pair, and a black pull-on pair for times when he knew he'd need to dress more respectably whee

Raven returned with a box tucked under her arm and a new pair of velvety purple flats that made her look quite a lot shorter, but matched the purple laces of the new pants. She smiled happily noting that he had three boxes of his own. "Good, you found some that work... did you want to wear any now or leave them for later?"
She indicated that he should grab his boxes and follow her to the cashier, smiling at the woman as she rang in the tag from Raven's new pair of shoes before starting to put boxes in a big bag. "Next stop should be pants and hopefully shirts for you..."
