◇◆◇ A Lunch... "Date" ◇◆◇
Faelnirv and Casey meet up for lunch and head to a new restaurant recommended by one of Casey's co-workers. [ start] Tue Jun 03, 2014 11:23 pm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Casey: *sort of rocking on his heels, waiting, a bag clutched against his chest*
==============
Faelnirv: -walking down the street, checking his watch- 'Hrm, I'm a tad late.' -looks up and catches sight of Casey, calling out to him- My apologizes, Casey. Were you here long?
==============
Casey: *turns to Faelnirv when his name was called, beaming already* Nope~ You're barely even late anyways. *his bouncing calms, but his actual energy has increased*
==============
Faelnirv: -smiles, wings flaring a bit- Indeed. But you should be well aware how much I dislike keeping others waiting. -inclines his head- So, I apologize. The other High Lord and High Lady wished to speak with me after the meeting with our Summer counterparts.
==============
Casey: Yeah, I know. *nearly giggles, but keeps it to a respectable smile, listening attentively to Faelnirv's excuse* Oh? That is totally understandable. *seems to realize something and his smile slips, his eyes turning down* In fact, I would understand if you would have needed to cancel this...
==============
Faelnirv: -quirks an eyebrow at Casey's sudden change in enthusiasm- Really now, Casey. I would have thought you'd be all sorts of giggly after having been informed that I valued your companionship more highly than that of my own equals. -small frown- Granted, I am far older than the majority of the High Lords and High Ladies of all the courts. We rarely have a common ground to stand on in anything other than governance. -the frown becomes almost a scowl- Though this does nothing to dissuade the High Ladies from seeking to tease me in an attempt to throw me into a romantic entanglement with one of them. -gives Casey a pained look- When last I served in this realm, I was colleagues with their grandfathers. Surely you understand how difficult it would be for me to even attempt to form romantic ties with them when all I remember of the eldest of them is her playing in a mud puddle while her mother scolded her and her grandfather laughed at my side.
==============
Casey: *can't keep the smile nor the blush off of his face* Well, I mean, if it was important and all I didn't want you to place me over your duties. *giggles at Faelnirv's story* I'm sure they just can't help themselves around you.
==============
Faelnirv: -chuckles, shaking his head- It seems you've misunderstood. We were done with our meeting on time. The others wished to make a social call on a fellow acquaintance and implored me to join them. Hence why I was late. -huffs in annoyance- Be that as it may, I should think restraint would be best in this situation given that I have strived to not give them the wrong impression. I desire a purely professional relationship. -frowns, shaking his head- Enough of this. We have plans, yes?
==============
Casey: Oh, now I understand. Well, then, I'm glad you got out of it. *a beaming mess of happiness* Aw, I kind of feel bad for them. *pouts a bit* I get where you're coming from, but I hope it doesn't hurt the girls too much. *brightens and bounces on his heels to attention* Right! Lunch... Date. >///3///> *likes using date though he knows it is friendship wise*
==============
Faelnirv: -inclines his head, smiling a bit- You seem quite spritely for a typical Wednesday, Casey. Did anything good happen? You said that you and Richard were working hard these past few weeks to set up a new branch of the company. -smile gets a little sly- It wouldn't happen to be something to do with that, would it? -chuckles- Indeed. I am ashamed to say that I am famished. Where would you like to go?
==============
Casey: *blushes rather lightly, looking embarrassed for a moment, thinking he had been found out* Oh, um, you could say that. Ricky has really been working me hard. *sighs dramatically* But it'll totally be worth it when we're all finished. Which will be soon if things continue at the ease and speed they are now. *turns to head in a direction and then points toward a bistro like resturant across the street* Let's try that place~ I heard from another intern that it's really good. Kind of why I had you meet me here. I want to try it with you. *smiling, but shyly this time* If, uh, you don't mind. The guy said it had really good soups, salads, and sandwiches.
==============
Faelnirv: -hums in understanding and nods- I see. Let us hope for such a fortuitous outcome, yes? -flicks his eyes in the direction Casey pointed, catching sight of the restaurant easily and looking it over- It looks quaint enough. The colors are bold yet somehow soothing. -notices Casey's sudden shyness and attempts to smile at him comfortingly- I would be more than honored to partake in such things with you. Preferably before my stomach decides to digest itself? -an attempt at humor to lighten the mood-

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Casey: *brightens again then looks shocked at the joke for a second before letting out a small giggle* Okay, okay. Let's go then! *moves toward the edge of sidewalk, turning and talking at the same time* I hope they're as good as my coworker said. He was really singing their praises last week.
==============
Faelnirv: -nods consentingly, falling in step with Casey as they walked toward the eating establishment- I see. Tell me, is this the same intern that tripped over the printer's cord, thus unplugging it, and couldn't understand why it wouldn't turn on - or is it the young man that mistook you for a fair maiden when first you met and propositioned you?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Casey: Erm... *blushes, rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment* T-the latter. He apologized after I explained to him that I was a boy and we've, er, kind of become friends? *chuckles* Ricky tells me to be weary of him, but the guy is harmless... I think.
==============
Faelnirv: -chuckles- Ah, I see. It is good that your kind heart would not allow for such an incident to hamper any camaraderie between the two of you. -raises an eyebrow- You are unsure of his genteelness? I'm sure he is respectable enough given that Richard hired him. But I do agree for your caution - he may try to use your long-standing friendship with Richard for his own gain.
==============
Casey: *beams at Faelnirv as they step onto the side walk again* He's actually really funny. *shrugs* Ricky says the guy seems to still be "eyeing" me, as he calls it, but I just don't see it. *heads towards the bistro's door* I think Ricky has just gotten too protective of me lately... *laughs to himself* There was a time I would have relished in it, but now... *eyes slide to Faelnirv before he shakes his head*
==============
Faelnirv: -sighs- The sheer fact that you do not 'see' the apparent unsavory nature of you new acquaintance makes me all the more thankful that Richard is there to look out for you. Remind me to thank him later. -nudges Casey's shoulder and shoots him a smile to let him know he's merely teasing- Hmm, perhaps he is simply in the beginning phases of 'empty nest syndrome'. Eric and Eirian are at the ages where their extracurricular activities are starting to keep them out of the house for longer and longer times. -reaches for the bistro door, opening it for Casey and cocking his head- Oh? Has something changed for you to no longer wish for Richard's concern?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Casey: *scoffs and rolls his eyes at Faelnirv before nodding* That's what I was thinking too. Ricky settled really easily into being a worrying parent and still has some left in his system. I would tell him to stop, but I'm hoping it'll disipate. At least he's not keeping me from being friends with Jason. *suddenly blushing, but he ducks his head and walks past Faelnirv as he explains* Uh, well, I'm not sure if you ever noticed but I sort of had a crush on him. Th-thankfully I stopped once I saw how cute him and Shroka were together. Now he's just a friend... *finally takes a breath after his rapid speech, turning to make sure Faelnirv had kept up with his words*
==============
Faelnirv: -chuckles- Exactly. I believe that he- -pauses to listen to Casey's rapid-fire explanation, quirking an eyebrow and following the human in- Ah, I see. I had noticed that you were somewhat overly fond of Richard, but I felt I had no right to comment as I did not truly understand the new social customs at the time. It makes sense now that you were enamored, -tilts his head, looking at Casey curiously- So then, if you don't mind me asking, Richard is the type of person you are looking for? His qualities, that is.
==============
Casey: *still a tad red in the face, but smiles and laughs* It was a stupid crush. But he played the hero part really well.... *bites his lip, debating things, before nodding his head slowly, trying to stay calm* Y-yeah, I suppose. I mean, who wouldn't like someone like Ricky? He's kind, smart, and pretty dang patient to be willing to work with someone like me. *forces a chuckle and looks around*
==============
Faelnirv: -smiles, nodding- Yes, Richard is a good man. I had an uncle once that Richard reminds me of quite often. He was very wise and patient, as you said, and many fae came from far off places to seek his council. I can only imagine that with age Richard will come to have the same be true for him. -slides a hand into his pocket, eyeing Casey- However, that you would assume someone would have to be almost overly patient to be 'willing to work with you' is absurd. Look at all the friends you have, dear Casey, and you will see the differences in them all. Despite their varying levels of attention and tolerance, they have become quite fond of you - because you are simply an extraordinary person in your own right, whether you see it or not.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Casey: *nods his head* Ricky is already like that for me. *turns a smile to Faelnirv but at Faelnirv's words turns red all the way to the tips of his ears* Uh, th-thanks. *can't stop his shy smile* I'm just not used to being seeked out. I'm usually the one chasing. But, uh, Ricky actually wants my input. *mutters just barely clear enough to be heard* You're extraordinary too. *a waiter finally comes to lead them to seats, making a point not to stare at the blushing man too much*

Faelnirv: -smiles at Casey's words, looking pleased- It is well he should seek your council. You two have worked well together for years and I'm sure that he values your opinion greatly. -pauses as the waiter greets them before escorting them to a table- Ah, a window seat. How fortuitous, as it is a lovely day and I would be grieved not to view it. -pulls out Casey's chair for him- Please, have a seat Casey.
==============
Casey: *having trouble not just combusting in the moment but continues to smile pleasantly and thank the waiter for his guidance and eventually slides himself into the offered seat* Ah, thank you. *takes the moment to calm himself* Yeah, it really is a nice day. *stares outside* I'm glad Ricky let me off for the rest of the day. *sighs contently*

Faelnirv: -sits on his side of the table and inclines his head, a bemused smile on his face- Indeed. -sets his elbows on the table, eyeing Casey over his steepled fingers- Casey? Forgive my brashness, but our previous conversation has piqued my interest. May I inquire something about you of a personal nature? -pauses when the waiter returns for their drink orders, asking for water with a lemon wedge in it-
==============
Casey: What? *turns to Faelnirv, having calmed and sort of lost himself* Oh... *chews his bottom lip nervously* Sure. *orders a lemonade then turns back with a shy smile* You can ask me anything.
==============
Faelnirv: -waits for the waiter to leave before looking at Casey curiously- I do hope that this does not sound rude. -sighs- Now that I have your permission, I am unsure how to phrase it...
==============
Casey: *chuckles awkwardly* C-c'mon. It's probably not as rude as you're thinking it is. *smiles, forcing it a bit* This is me you're talking to. It takes a lot for me to be offended. *headtilts* You've got me curious now, anyways.

Faelnirv: Ah, very well then. -clears his throat- It has been brought to my attention a mutual acquaintance of ours that you and I are close companions and friends and have been for several years. As such, the acquaintance also pointed out that while you and others have taught me much and helped me greatly to readjust in the modern times, my knowledge of this era's social cues is still lacking - as is, apparently, my knowledge of you. -tilts his head- I suppose it is less of a question and more of a chance for you - or perhaps the both of us, if you so wish - to build upon our relationship. -leans forward a bit, eyes bright- So, then, dear Casey. Tell me - what is you preference when looking for a significant other? Be it temporary or more permanent in nature. -smiles- I would welcome the knowledge as it would help me on my new-found quest to be your so called 'wingman'.
==============
Casey: *sort of shifting awkwardly in his chair, biting his lip, and trying not to look too eager & hopeful* Y-yeah. I've really enjoyed hanging out with you. *blushes & mutters* You know the important things... *leans in, very interested, until the question is asked and he all but faceplants on the table* O-oh... *leans back & sighs, covering his eyes with his hands* That's really embarrassing. *scoffs but smiles, lowering his hands* I appreciate the thought, but I'm not even sure what I look for. I mean, I guess I like people who stand up for themselves and others but is kind about it. *shrugs* There's just that moment when you get the butterflies in your stomach, y'know?
==============
Faelnirv: -inclines his head a little, taking in Casey's words- Am I to take that as you having no preference in physical appearance or gender? That would make the pool of potentials wider, but I'm unsure if that is helpful for finding a good match. -hums pensively, a small pout forming- Ah, at any rate, I have asked a very personal question of you. You may return the favor should you wish. -small smile- Surely there is still something about me that you wish to know?
==============
Casey: Uh.. Yeah. *shrugs* I guess I really don't. *braces himself for the usual "wtf" reaction, but scoffs at himself for even thinking Faelnirv would be like that* It's probably not. *scrunches up his nose* Sorry about that. *chuckles* A personal question? *ponders, being over dramatic about it* Would it be lame if I returned the question? *the waiter reappears with their drinks but declares that he'll give them more time* I could, uh, always help you find someone to... If you want. >///>;
==============
Faelnirv: -blinks slowly, eyeing Casey with a hard to read expression- You wish to know my preferences? -hums and leans back bit, gaze going inward- I suppose... that I passed the point of having them? -shrugs- I am not interested at the moment, I suppose. Apathetic, perhaps? I tend to have a strong attachment to a person before romantic feelings emerge. -chuckles- But that doesn't mean - pardon the irony - that I am blind. I can appreciate physical appeal and another's emotions just fine. Returning those feelings, however, would be difficult without first having know the person for an extended period of time.
==============
Casey: *seems a bit crestfallen at Faelnirv's words, but smiles kindly* I guess I can understand that. *chuckles* A couple of odd birds we are. I guess that's just a reason we get along. *blushes and looks distressed* Ah! Not that being "odd" is bad in this context. I just mean that our, uh, preferences are hard to explain. *turns his eyes to the menu slowly and finally allows himself to be disappointed*
==============
Faelnirv: -huffs in amusement, eyes gentle and fond- Hrm, perhaps. Though, I do have to wonder if you are being evasive simply because you already have a potential in mind, and do not wish to give me clues as to who it is. -sits back, waving one hand flippantly- Ah, what an amusing situation that would be, yes? -takes up his own menu, noting Casey's crestfallen expression but allowing the other some time to compose himself-
==============
Casey: *groans, but laughs* Yeah... *peeks over his menu at Faelnirv and smiles* That would be rather funny. *looks back at the menu and points at a sandwich* This one sounds good. Hmm~ Or maybe this. *mumbles to himself* Ugh! It all sounds good... What are you leaning towards? *looks at Faelnirv hopefully*
==============
Faelnirv: -reads his own menu, eyes calculating and expression thoughtful- Hrm, all of these seem like they'd be reasonably delicious.Though, I am torn between the Mediterranean and the Mushroom Melt. What are your thoughts?
==============
Casey: *reads up on the sandwiches himself* Oh, those sound really good. *groans* It is so hard to chose! *perks up, eyeing Faelnirv* I've got a proposition for you, my friend. *waggles his eyebrow in a playful manner* What if, you order one of these, I order the other, and then we split them and share give each other half? That way we can both try two sandwiches without over-stuffing!
==============
Faelnirv: -raises a brow at Casey's bright attitude and silly antics, pleased that his momentary funk seems to have dissipated- Hrm, yes, that seems like an acceptable idea. -smiles, tilting his head- You are a fair negotiator. Many years of practice of being Richard's middle-manager, I suppose.
==============
Casey: *fist pumps the air* Success! *chuckles* I suppose so~ But, then again, this could just be because of my inability to make up my mind right now...
==============
Faelnirv: -quirks an eyebrow- Decisiveness through indecision? -chuckles- Well, I supposed that's one way to go about it. -pauses when the waiter returns, greeting them warmly and taking their sandwich orders-

Casey: *smiles pleasantly at the waiter, being his normal friendly self, then turns to Faelnirv when the lad leaves* Hm, well I do usually have my best ideas under pressure. That's probably why Ricky works me so much. *chuckles but lets out a sigh then peeks at Faelnirv* So... What's the rest of your day looking like?
==============
Faelnirv: -smiles pleasantly as Casey talks- Indeed. That is one of your many good qualities. -blinks, inclining his head to one side- Hrm. The rest of my day is fortunately quite free. As of late, my presence has been requested at many social events by my colleagues. -sighs- I look forward to simply training Faye this evening before retiring. Unless, of course, you had something in mind to entertain me? I assure you, I would welcome it.
