Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dakota raised an eyebrow, setting his menu down before looking at her. "Why, I bought all the nice things for you? Which in the end benefit me, got one of the best looking woman on my arm." he followed her gaze to H's, watching the metal gleam before squeezing her hand.

He might be only a little jealous but...she was a free woman. it wasn't like their love tied each other down to each other.

"Oh...Excuse me for a second..." He got up, giving her a odd smile and then seeing a Wilson, and he had not seen a Wilson in a long time. And a Saya...and a Ryan. But he went to Saya first, picking her up at the waist because she looked like she was wanting someone's attention. "hey there little hero, who are you trying to wave too?"

"I like your attitude, dear." Glenda beamed at him, glancing away just for a second to give another waiter a meaningful glare.

She wasn't kidding about the drink with the umbrella, ok.

"This is certainly better 'n that park, s'like a little vacation-in-a-vacation; first a tropical island perry-dice an' now a real fancy cruise," she continued cheerfully.

"Would you like a smoke?" She added sweetly. At some point she'd slipped a fresh cigar and her lighter out of her purse.

Charlotte saw the wave, stood straight up both hands holding her menu, which she was still having trouble reading (mostly because it was upside down), blushed a little, and then shyly waved back.

Sam elbowed the Moon assist and rolled her eyes.

Nevada blinked as her thought produced a Sin and a Alaska. Gosh wouldn't they just make a good dessert too? A Sinful(l) Baked Alaska......

She smiled at the sun hunter as he was forced next to her, then turned it to her sister. "Just so you know, Dead bodies are horrible and I suggest not going to see them..." She leaned her chin into her hand, balancing it on the edge of the table and turned it a bit. "So Sin, Where you from Handsome~?"

"But you--" The compliment stopped her protest. Oh. He had a point..but she still...sigh. She smiled and shook her head. Fine, she would stop it.

She caught the wink from H and her heart fluttered. Candace giggled helplessly and had to hide her smile behind her wine glass. The squeeze to her hand got her attention and Candace sobered up quickly as she looked expectantly to Dakota. What was it?

...What?

She frowned and watched him leave, setting down her wine. What had that smile been about? Oh..she'd done something.

He was sitting right next to you. You weren't exactly subtle.

It's been so long since I--

Maybe he's finally bored of you.

Candace rolled her eyes and pretended not to hear that part. Instead she drank a larger sip of wine, put her glass down so she wouldn't lose her seat, and stood to wander a little further down to where two of the new Mist trainees were sitting.

"Hello again, Ian," Candace greeted pleasantly, resting a hand on the back of his chair. "Who is your friend?"

You know damn well he's one of the new Mi--

Hush~.

Wash gave a long suffering sigh, but complied.

"You seen Jerry anywhere?" He said suddenly, glancing around. Hadn't this been mandatory? "You ladies sure did a number on him, by the way, he looks great. It was real sweet o' you," he added, smiling at her warmly.

"Yeah, there doesn't really seem to be any real seating arrangement. I think divisions are just more familiar with each other and ended up grouping together." He shrugged, watching as Saya got up to wave at Charlotte. The later who was reading an upside down menu.

"Well, definitely not the salmon." He answered. Not after Allan's description of the fish. All of that devil fruit and gum gum, really put him off the idea of trying it. "Any suggestions?"
