Airy/Nathan

[imaginationswoes]

[Airy is happy that she spoke to Yugi and got directions towards a card shop. She promptly dashes out with some of her money to buy her thank you gift. A small box wrapped in a dark shimmering blue rests in her palm and on top of it is a plain white card. She hopes it's okay and suddenly feels a strange nervousness flutter in her chest as she steps into their shared apartment.]

Nathan? You home?

[It isn't that Airy is planning to celebrate Valentine's day but she thinks that any holiday can be used as a reason to gift a small gift.

She doesn't spot him in the family room or kitchen and it doesn't sound like the water is running in the shower. She moves deeper into the apartment to see if he's in his room. Her only hope is that he hadn't stepped out without her knowing. She's pretty sure that he doesn't work or anything today.]

[thelastdruid]

[Nathan had been completely oblivious to the time of year, mostly because it hadn't been anywhere near valentine's day when he'd left. After that, with Airy not actually remembering him, he'd thought it would be a little weird to get her a gift. Regardless, he certainly wasn't expecting to get anything from her.

He turned off the water in the shower and stepped out, grabbing the towel on the rack near him and wrapping it around his waist, before grabbing a second to towel off his hair, at least enough to keep it from dripping, and loaded toothpaste on the brush.

That was when he heard her voice call from the next room. He looked down at himself, then looked around the bathroom. Nope. Definitely had not brought clothes in with him.]

Uh, yeah. I'll be out in a second.

[And, without any other option, he stepped out in his towel, smiling because really, what else did you do in that situation?]

And I'm going to get dressed. [As he headed off to his bedroom.]

[imaginationswoes]

[Airy quickly stashes the little gift behind her back when he steps out of the bathroom. She feels her face flush as he steps out in a towel, her eyes lingering on his chest before turning anyway.]

Ah! Okay. Hurry because I have something for you.

[She moves back down the hall with the gift held tightly between her fingers. She exhales when she gets to the family room, her mind imagining what Nathan would look like without any clothes on. She has to quickly stifle the though but it takes a violent shake of her head to do it.

Airy lightly places the gift on the coffee table and lays across the couch. One leg is draped over the arm while the other isn't even on the couch. She pushes her palms against her eyes steadying the frantic drum in her chest. Handing him a gift is already embarrassing enough, why'd he have to be in the shower too?]

Terra/Athrun

[greenmagick]

[infinitejustice]

[Well, they certainly have a full itinerary today. Before he picks Terra up, though, Athrun makes a quick stop and buys a cheap camera. That way Terra can photograph anything that catches her fancy.

Even with the stop, Athrun arrives right on schedule. When Terra opens the door, he'll greet her with a smile. He's also dressed up a touch -- polo shirt and khakis instead of his usual black and green ensemble.]

Hey there. Ready to go?

[greenmagick]

[Terra is feeling nervous and unsure. This is technically her first date but then she remembers Battler telling her that even friends can do out together and it isn't as if it's a first time for them to hang out one on one. When he arrives she's ready, she says goodbye before stepping from her shop.

She isn't over dressed but she's cleaned the dirt away and is wearing a light blue dress. She has a jacket over that thinking that it might return to being cold today.]

Yes. Where are we going?

[Terra doesn't even know what people are suppose to do on dates.]

Bathlier/Kahlan

[hidden_truths]

[askypirate]

[Originally, Balthier's winning bid was submitted simply to save Kahlan from the insult of being forced into a date with someone she didn't know. Afterward, he thought about how best to use his winning bid to his advantage. While outwardly a rogue and somewhat rakish in his dealings, at his core, he was still a gentleman, and he owed her for the clothes she'd sent him home with, but more than that debt, he wanted to make up to her the inconvenience of dealing with it in the first place.

He, obviously, knew where she lived, and insisted on "picking her up", for their little date. He did hope she enjoyed dinner.

He nodded to the innkeeper as he passed toward Kahlan and Richard's room and knocked on the door.]

[hidden_truths]

[Kahlan isn't sure what to think about the auction. The idea of being sold and bought is distasteful and makes her stomach turn. Later she found that the auction was for charity and that it wasn't as barbaric as other practices she was used to hearing about. Both her and Richard had fallen to it's prey which colored her opinion more. Having someone she knew win her bid helped ease the tension in her shoulder though having it be Balthier made her tense all over again.

She never really knows what's on his mind, only that he works in half truths. She doesn't much care for that but she wouldn't deny him her company if that's truly all he is asking for. Richard is gone from the room, having known about her plans days before. He doesn't seem happy but there is little she can do about that.

She's wearing her dark green dress and her boots and leggings. She has no idea what he has planned or what he wants to do but she thought dressing simply might be enough. She walks over to the door and lightly opens it, her back is straight and her eyes are clear as the watery blue reflections fall on Balthier.]

Welcome.

[Kahlan smiles though it's obvious she's tense.]

What did you want to do this evening?

Kahlan/Richard

[hidden_truths]

[trueseeker]

[After the rude introduction they'd both had to the holiday, Richard decided he liked the idea of Valentine's more and more. It gave him the opportunity, and the excuse, to take Kahlan on a proper date. There were so many things he wanted to show her, and while most of them were back home, in the woods surrounding Hartland, he'd found some wonderful places in the forests of Fayren, too. Peaceful places. Secluded places.

The first challenge had been packing a lunch for the both of them to enjoy in one of the clearings he wanted to show her without her knowing, but with a bit of fancy footwork he pulled it off. With that particular parcel tucked safely into his pack, he went to retrieve Kahlan from their room.]

Are you ready?

[hidden_truths]

[Since first arriving in Genessia and now having a job, Kahlan has finally begun to purchase more clothes: for travel, work, as well as the occasional nice dress. She hadn't found anything that was similar to her white confessor's dress which she hoped to replace now that their things were back in the Midlands. She'd eventually make one with the moderate sewing skills she has but for now she chose not to worry about it. Those in this world didn't know what a Confessor was.

When Richard steps into the room he'll find her ready to go. She's wearing her usual tight black corset as well as black leather riding pants which have worked well to keep out the cold. She's wearing her black boots with her daggers safely stored within them. Over top of that is a scarlet dress that drapes beautifully over her hourglass figure. Much like her other dresses it just barely sweeps the ground making it easy for her to move in. She looks over her shoulder, her dark brown curls shifting to fall in a lovely curtain down her back.]

Yes, where were we headed?

[She doesn't know if she should bring anything however she takes the necklace for the archway's and slips it over her head so that the gem is resting on her clavicle.]

Sakura/Richard

[spitfireprincess]

[Sakura has asked Richard to meet her at the Cat's Eye after it's closed for their so called 'date'.

She makes sure to have permission as well as supplies for everything that they will need. She's wearing a dress which for her is usual but it's a little nicer than her day to day outfits. A white apron is pulled tightly around her waist and her hair is tucked behind her ears.

She waits with her eyes on the door hoping that Richard hasn't gotten lost.]

[trueseeker]

[As much as Richard doesn't like the city, Genessia isn't a difficult place to navigate. It was literally a grid. The Cat's Eye was also not far from the archways, which made navigation that much easier.

When he found the place locked, he knocked on the door gently, hoping he wasn't too early, or too late.]

[spitfireprincess]

[Sakura almost bounces when she opens the door. She peeks out and then her smile widens threatening Richard with a brightness that can rival the sun. She moves out of the way and ushers him inside.]

I was worried you'd get lost.

[She doesn't know he's a skilled tracker but even so the city isn't a place to track.]

Sakura/Sousuke

[spitfireprincess]

[She doesn't know if it's a proper date or not but she shows up at the pool, where she often meets Sousuke for lessons, with a beautiful cake held protectively in her hands. She glances around looking for him, hoping she hasn't missed him.]

Hello?

[Sakura doesn't want to get in his way, for now she thought to drop off the nice cake and at least talk to him some. She doesn't know if that girl from the auction likes him or not and she's a little curious.]

Sousuke?

[overexertion]

[Sousuke is just finishing up work for today, so Sakura's lucky to meet him at the lobby when he's preparing to leave the swim club.]

Sakura, hey. [He smiles.]

[spitfireprincess]

[Sakura beams at him and then holds out the ornately decorated dessert.]

I know the auction thing was weird but I wanted to bring you this. [A light dusting of red colored her cheeks as she continued.]

And if you want... we can go to mini-golf.

[She found a place that isn't to far away.]

Levy/David

[skilledwithwords]

Levy/Belle

[skilledwithwords]

[This hasn't been Levy's intention with the auction but at least her and Belle can now talk about books. She has the living room set up with a few novels and some tea set out for both of them.

She had thought to start a book club right after opening her shop but she didn't know of David would like that in their living room. It would be a lot of fun to read and talk about books with friends. Belle is the only person she can think of who'd want to start something like that with her.

She just needs to wait for her friend to arrive.]

[namemeansbeauty]

[Belle had come just after she finished work at the library and she had to admit she was looking forward to it. She brought at least some cookies before she rung the doorbell.]

[skilledwithwords]

[Levy walks to the front door with Tepig at her heels. The little fire pokemon doesn't like to leave her be while they are in the house while Aron is being grumpy in a corner. She smiles bright and steps out of the way.]

Come in, I set up tea.

[Which is still warm and on the coffee table.]

Thanks for coming. I feel sort of bad about the auction.

Gale/Sakura

[spitfireprincess]

[She feels bad for signing him up and then being the one to bid on him but she hadn't wanted her friend to be won by that horrible tree for only a single redbill. With that in mind she's determined to do something fun together, no one says that a date has to be romantic.

She uses the welcome center and then a few other places to find a good place where they might be able to have fun. Eventually she finds a place in Nova City that has Laser Tag. She remembers Gale liking Nova City so with this as her plan she goes to meet her friend. She makes sure to plan the date when he's free and meet at the archway from Genessia to Nova City. She has a small hand drawn map in her hand that will lead them to the Laser Tag arena.

Now she just needs to wait for Gale.]

[orlokbutterfly]

[Gale was pretty thankful for Sakura bailing him out of the awkward situation of having to date a tree. Sure, his pride was a little damaged because he only went for 100 bills, but at least it meant a day out with a girl he was fond of. He'd probably be locked in his apartment and drinking if he got won by a tree for one bill. ... Shame he couldn't really get drunk, but he'd still drink the night away.

But at least he didn't have to! He wasn't sure what Sakura had planned, so he'll be flying blind for it. He'd still pay for food afterward though, because even he's got a bit of a 'gentleman' instinct in that head of his somewhere.

He'll be zipping through Nova City on his motorcycle - well over the speed limit - and zip right through the archway to Genessia City. He'll glance over his shoulder when he realized he zipped past Sakura and actually... slow down like he's supposed to... and turn around to park beside her.

Once he's nearby her, he'll be leaning forward on the motorcycle bars and grinning at Sakura like absolutely nothing just happened. Now he clicks on the charm and winks at her playfully.]

Well hey, what's a pretty girl doing waiting on her own out here?

[spitfireprincess]

[Sakura feels the wind brush past her as his bike goes speeding by. She blinks and turns noticing that it is in fact Gale on that bike. She smiled brightly at him, her emerald green eyes look at the bike in awe.]

Waiting for someone.

[She laughs softly before holding up the map she drew.]

Are you ready? We're going here.

[Where there is a little 'x' on the map.]
