She smiled widely a slight blush apparent on her cheeks. She nodded, shyly taking his hand, joining him on the blanket. She smiled, setting out the food in their little containers, before lighting a few candles as well. Once settled, she looked up to Damian, giddy as a school girl. "Bon appetite?" She raised an eyebrow, holding her soda up, her eyes shining with an unmistakable gleam of pure happiness.

"Indeed, though I won't use that wretched french like that cad." Bitter though the sentence was, Damian had an unmistakable gleam in his eye and a white smile peaking through his lips. He held up his soda to hers in a toast. He'd seemed to have been doing a lot of those lately.
"To you, my dear. To all your happiness and beauty, and all the happiness and beauty that you've given to me."

Raquel smiled shyly, feeling like a child as she took a sip of her drink, feeling utter bliss at all of this. "Thank you love..." She said quietly, looking down at her food. As soon as she opened the container, gone was her shy, feminine outer layer. "Oh thank God..." She murmured to herself, her eyes widening as she gazed upon the biggest hamburger she had ever seen. She wasted no time at all, taking the sandwich in her hands and digging in, enjoying every succulent bite.

They ate in silence for a few minutes, both seeming to eat ravenously.
"You know," Damian said through a mouthful, "I was never allowed to eat this sort of thing because I was told it would make me gain a horrendous amount of weight in one sitting. And now that I know it's ridiculous, I'm thoroughly enjoying this."
He finished off his burger with a bit of soda, and moved on to his fries.
"Should I be worried that I ate that so quickly?"

Raquel finished just after him, trying to cover a belch but she laughed at Damian's comment. "Hey, if we get fat and die from eating so much grease at once, then we'll get fat and die together." She laughed, taking a nibble on her own fries.

"Here here!" Damian laughed with his glass held high. It seemed he'd been made years younger, just by being able to sit and eat terrible food with someone who made him feel alive.
"So, what else have I been missing in my little world of glitz and glamor?"
He contentedly chewed on his straw while looking at the candies Raquel had brought. They would go well with the ice cream he had stowed in the freezer...

Raquel laughed, trying to think. "Well...have you done anything us commoners have? like....oh I don't know, um...A carnival? um..street festivals, or even just sit around and do nothing?" She asked, between bites of her fries. "Or what about...a swing? a simple park swing...you've had to at least been to a park when you were a child right?" She asked, thoroughly curious.

"Street festivals... not really," he had to admit. "Parks, yes, when I was young. I build parks now." He laughed awkwardly at that. It sounded so incredibly... lame.
"Carnivals bother me. I despise clowns. Never saw the point in the bloody things, really."
As he shivered at the very thought of the fiends, he unwrapped a small candy and placed it in his mouth. Sitting on the floor with Raquel ws somehow the best way he could have spent his night...

Raquel cocked an eyebrow, nodding. "Well the festivals are much like your balls...only less stuffy." she laughed, remembering catching a glimpse of balls occasionally during her run about with certain men there. "Dancing is always fun..though I must say I never really learned. Watching was fun enough for me." She noted, leaning back comfortably.

It was then that Damian's grin spread across his face like wildfire.
His hand reached out to the couch to grab a remote, which only took a few clicks to operate the sound system he had by the television. A song began to play, nice and slow but still with a good beat.
He stood, offering his hand to Raquel.
"Now on that, I must disagree. Doing is so much more exciting."

Raquel looked slightly confused but smiled and blushed taking his hand shyly. "I don't know about this...I've been told I have two left feet..." She laughed a little, finding herself rather nervous for a simple dance in the living room.

"Well you aren't wearing any shoes, so there is no risk of spearing me with a stiletto."
It began as a simple waltz, with Damian saying the beat. Around the couch, around the food...
"One two three," he said, taking it very slowly so she would not trip herself up. "See, you are getting it..."

Raquel bit her lip as she looked down at her feet, occasionally overstepping, and falling into Damian, which she honestly didn't mind. Even after she seemed to be getting it, she would purposefully fall just so Damian would catch her. "You're a lovely, and patient teacher..." She laughed a little, feeling more at ease now, even getting the sensation of floating across the floor in his arms. after a short while of this, the song ended gently, transitioning to a slower, more intimate song. Raquel's feet came to a halt, not really sure what to do next.

All the while he was patient, taking care not to step on her when she mistook a step here or there, catching her when she fell or stumbled. Dancing was difficult, he knew, especially for someone who just didn't dance at all.
For the slower song, he just took her a bit closer, moving in a slow circle in place. They just went around and around slowly, with no real beat taken. It was just like a high school dance all over again.
With her truly close, Damian looked into her eyes, just smiling.

Raquel smiled, her eyes mellowing out like a gleaming pond of green. She smiled easily, resting her head on his chest, all the while.
She stayed that way for sometime before barely whispering to him. "...I love you..." she said just before a content sigh, grasping him a bit tighter.
